![]() ![]() If you find yourself wanting to touch up photos and send them out without having to download them to a computer, this is the app for you. It's not a substitute for the sophistication of Photoshop tools, but it works very well when all you have is your iPhone or iPad. There is also a free version for the iPhone that lets you test the app, but it leaves a watermark on the finished photo. I liked doing the retouching better on the larger iPad screen, but I had absolutely no problem doing the work on the iPhone since I could zoom in very tightly to make the edits. The app is not universal, so if you want the regular and HD version you will pay $0.99 twice. TouchRetouch comes in both an iPhone/iPod touch version and an HD version for the iPad. ![]() It's actually close to what Photoshop can do, which is pretty amazing for an inexpensive app. I've used the retouch tool in iPhoto, and frankly, this app is far superior for removing larger objects. The app is doing a lot of heavy lifting in the processing department, so if you have a full resolution image, expect it to take a minute or so to do its work. The app is designed cleanly, and everything is what you expect from a high-class product. Even a novice can launch the app and edit the image. I was able to remove a mailbox and some rocks with some backgrounds that would reveal any trickery. TouchRetouch requires no expert knowledge like Photoshop. TouchRetouch supports all the widely used formats, such as JPG, TIFF, PNG, and even RAW, so you can start editing files straight from your camera. TouchRetouch has built-in video tutorials and a clone tool to repair parts of an image that the retouching process doesn't fix perfectly. The app also supports sharing on Facebook, Flickr, Picasa and Twitter When you're done, you can save the photo back to your camera roll or email it directly from within the app. The software has unlimited undo, and you can erase all or portions of the mask that you create. It's similar to Content Aware Fill on the new Photoshop CS5, but this app costs a lot less money. Using some smart software, the object or person will be removed, while the background is intelligently filled in. TouchRetouch lets you load an image from your camera roll, and using your fingers, either draw a lasso around the offending part of the photo or use a brush to highlight it. It is especially nice when you are on an outing or vacation and want to get some photos emailed to friends or uploaded to a sharing site, but the photos aren't as perfect as you would like. Do you have photos on your phone that need a little 'help' without going back to your Mac for iPhoto clean up or Photoshop work? It happens to me all the time, and TouchRetouch for US$0.99 gives you some powerful tools to remove defects, people or objects from photos with only a little effort. ![]()
