Neither novice users nor professional photographers are immune from bad photos. In such cases, photo editors come to the rescue, with which you can correct an unsuccessful composition or poor exposure. Shooting with the iPhone 7 Plus does not guarantee that all your shots will turn out great. For a large part, success depends on the photographer's ability, practice and ability to digitally express what the eye sees.

It's worth noting that the Camera app on iPhone 7 Plus offers a basic assortment of editing tools, but sometimes they may not be enough. The specialists of the iPhone Photography School have published a list of the best photo editors that will allow you to make your photos better.

SKRWT

Wide-angle lenses, such as those found on the iPhone, often distort objects in a photo, making them appear elongated or curved. SKRWT helps eliminate these problems.

AfterFocus

AfterFocus is a special application that allows amateurs to take pictures with a slightly blurred background, indistinguishable from pictures taken with an expensive DSLR.

AfterFocus is a great alternative for those who don't have the iPhone 7 Plus, which features a "portrait" mode that lets you create photos with bokeh (artistic background blur).
