Leaf peepers from all over come out during the autumn months to get a look at the splendor Mother Nature offers up at this time each year. And as long as you’re viewing the leaves, you’re likely to want to capture some of the stunning color at the same time.
But, if you’re using your phone, you may find that the colors of your images aren’t doing the foliage any favors. That’s where these five apps come in; they’ll help you capture more of those stunning scenes so you can finally show them off in all their glory.
Snapseed
Snapseed allows for a lot of very specific photo editing opportunities, right on your phone. This includes not only enhancing colors, but enhancing specific areas of your photos as well. So, if you’ve gotten a shot that’s half light/half shadow, you can clean up the duller areas without worrying about overblowing the light areas at the same time.
VSCO
This integrated camera app has several options for adjusting the color and exposure of your images. This will let you make adjustments while you’re still in the frame looking at the actual leaves for comparison. This kind of ease will let you capture more realistic looking photos without worrying about memory later on.
Camera+
Another integrated camera app, Camera+ lets you adjust the exposure of the images you take with your camera phone, giving you pictures that more closely resemble those you can get from a DSLR. With editing software and filters built right in, you can also quickly adjust the color and saturation of all your images to get the best results possible no matter how outrageous those fall colors.
Enlight
If you want to get a little creative with your images, as well as have the ability to boost the color, consider Enlight. This app enables you to create unique double images and other complex, artistic designs, as well as having simple editing capabilities. Perfect for creating a ghostly Halloween shot inside some fall foliage.
Mextures
Mextures allows you to create your own filters and formulas, then save them to apply to photos. This includes the ability to change the light, color, and texture of a photo. So, you can boost the light and color of the leaves you shoot, or create a unique filter that will give you an artistic expression of the same scene.
