14 DAY TRIAL // Apple is featuring its usual favorites in the iTunes App Store this week, starting with Litely, a simplistic photography app that lets you add film-inspired tones and filters in a matter of seconds, save the photo, and share it with the world.
Besides featuring gorgeous tones, Litely lets you adjust crop, exposure, sharpness, vibrance, and vignette levels. The free app includes the Litely Starter pack featuring 9 professionally-crafted presets, and those who want to take things a little further can browse 36 additional presets in the app’s built-in shop. New packs are scheduled to arrive in future updates.
Litely is built for simplicity, and while there are many similar apps in the iTunes Store, few equal the output quality of Litely. Which is why Apple decided to feature it as a favorite.
The drag-anywhere interface allows for fewer taps and faster editing. Other features include full-screen editing with gyroscope support for panoramas, smart adjustments for composition, exposure, sharpness & vibrance, and custom vignetting with the ability to pinch the corners of the photos to darken them.
Users also get a before/after preview enabled by a two-finger tap. Litely performs what is known as non-destructive editing, which allows users to change or undo any adjustment at any time, leaving the original image intact.
