10 Best Creative Photography & Digital Art Apps of 2019

View fullsize

Photography apps have come SUCH a long way in the last few years. If you haven’t given them a whirl, it’s a good time to think about it as there are a lot of quality apps now and I’m continually impressed with how much I can do with them. I use a few dozen different apps, but these are the 10 best, in my opinion.

1. Afterlight- this app does my heavy lifting for basic editing

2. TouchRetouch- my go to for removing objects

3. iColorama- where art meets app!

4. DistressedFX- textures & color is what this app is all about

5. Lensflare- what I use to manufacture light

6. Leonardo- I use this one for layers & removing backgrounds

7. ArtStudio- I use this one for layers too

8. VSCO- a great all around editing app

9. Lightroom- another great all around editing app and does fantastic with lights & darks

10. Mextures- for adding textures & colors

There isn’t much that you can’t do with this combination of Apps. They are pure magic.

There are dozens of other great apps that I use but there are too many to list here and really, it’s better to stick to a few and get to know them really well.
