How to edit photos on iPhone

Step 1: Access the Photos app on your phone and tap on the photo you want to edit.

Step 2: Click the Edit button in the upper right corner of the screen.

Immediately after tapping Edit , you will be taken to the image editing application.

At the bottom of the screen, you'll see three options for the different main editing panels. The dial icon represents the Adjustments panel , where you can edit individual attributes of an image. The three circles represent the Filters panel , where you can apply different filters to change the overall feel of your image. The Crop icon represents the Transformations panel, where you can crop, rotate, and flip the image.

Above these menus is a slider that looks like a ruler. This is how you will adjust the scale and increase or decrease the intensity of the filters or transitions.

Above the slider is a set of icons representing the different options you have, such as adjustments, filters, or transformations.

If you want to edit your photos on your iPhone, you need to familiarize yourself with the adjustment sliders and understand what they do. This is the core of image editing, and what you do here is very similar to how a professional edits their photos in Adobe Lightroom or similar software.

However, there are a few things to grasp beforehand. First, you need to understand that your image is made up of many different tonal ranges. There are highlights, which are the lightest tones in your image. There is white or light, which are the brighter tones. There are shadows, which are the darker parts of the image, and then there is black, which are the darkest parts. Your image, if it has color, will also fall within these tonal ranges. Now, it's time to edit.

Step 3: Click on the editing tools at the bottom of the image and move the navigation bar according to the parameters mentioned in the formula by TipsMake.com in the next section.
