There are a several photography apps that convert your photos into real works of art. Instagram is one of them. It combines artistic photo filters with social networking sharing features so you can create beautiful pics and share them with your friends on Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, Tumblr, Flickr and of course the Instagram social network.

Using Instagram

When you log into the app, Instagram displays an array of photos from worldwide users. You can browse over pictures and watch their work. You’ll have to sign up for a free account to get Instagram "friends". After this, you can import your phone contacts or Facebook, and Twitter friends.

To start making art, just take a picture with your iPhone or Android camera or choose one from the Gallery. You can scale, pan or crop the image before applying filters, then, choose among 19 filters to beautify your pics. It's really funny to play around with the filters, and to make your boring photos look pretty cool. The filters are good although Instagram doesn’t have common editing features like brightness, contrast, saturation, warm, etc, found on other mobile photography apps.
Instagram has a toolbar where you can show/hide the frame on the edited picture, apply a high quality tilt-shift effect, enhance the image, and rotate your photo.

Once you're done editing your photo, you can share it on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Tumblr,
Foursquare and others. You can also email pics and add them to your photo map. Your picture is then uploaded to your profile, where people from everywhere can comment on it or ‘like’ it. The Instagram timeline also includes photos from friends you are following, Instagram gathers both photography and social networking features.

Perfectly Clear for Android & iOS: Enhance Your Photos With 1 Click

Perfectly Clear App Overview

Cameras found on phones typically lack the quality and sophistication that dedicated cameras have and often leave you with dull looking photos. Perfectly Clear automatically tries to correct these images.
The app allows you to load an image from your gallery or your camera, and use some parameters to improve it. Perfectly Clear will enhance your photo automatically and after a few seconds, it will give you some options to tweak it. When you’re done, you can choose to either share your enhanced image, or just save it.

The app shows a preview with a vertical line which you can swipe  left or right to change between the original and edited image, this way you can see the results and compare.

At the bottom there's an icons row which includes some quick fixes like: Fix!, Fix Dark, Fix Tint, Beautify and a shortcut to Tweaks. This last shortcut lets you adjust the exposure, depth, vibrancy, sharpness, tint, skin tone, skin smooth, eye enhance, eye enlarge and mouth enhance.
The iOS version has also a function called De-Purple and its because the iPhone 5’s camera lens has a tendency to create a nasty purple flare when a bright light is located just outside the frame, and this option in Perfectly Clear can fix it.
These adjustments are done by moving sliders that appear when tapping the icons.

You can zoom the image by pinch-to-zoom, a common feature on almost every imagery mobile apps. This is very useful, especially when using the sharpness function, so we know if it is already sharp enough without pixelating our image.
At the top of the screen there are four icons, at the left is the home icon which takes you to the app starting page, at the right there are three icons: save and share, help and settings.
In settings you can change the output size of your enhanced image and the location for the saved files. There are also options for logging in to your Facebook or Twitter account to authorize image uploads.

Perfectly Clear for Android is available in the Google Play Store for only $1.39 USD, and in the iTunes App Store for iPhone and iPad for $2.99 USD.
It's a very affordable app, and a perfect companion for other photo editors like Aviary or After Focus Pro.
