Just pointing out that Nik Snapseed (external link) is now available in an iphone version (it was ipad only until recently). I tried it yesterday and it seems to be a great companion to my other photography apps.

This was my first try at tinkering with the app:

This is for the iPad. Cost is $4.99!

I have downloaded it and believe it will be a valuable tool.

It is a universal app. Works on touch, phone, and ipad. $4.99 is pretty reasonable for a decent app. You already paid hundreds for the phone and you pay hundreds more per year for a data plan. This app is a drop in the bucket!

Interested in this app as well. Will probably buy it soon...hope it can replace all the other photo apps I've accumulated (Hipstamatic, Instagram, etc)

Hat's off to dpreview. Here's a quote of most of their conclusion:
Conclusion

In terms of sheer versatility, Snapseed is one of the best photography apps that I've used on any mobile platform, and treads the line between professional and amateur-focussed functionality very well.

If you're serious about photo editing, you'll appreciate the U Point technology, and the fine-grained control over key adjustment parameters. If, on the other hand, you only use your iPad to prepare snapshots for uploading to the web, you'll love the ease with which you can apply fun creative effects to your images, and the speed with which you can send them on their way, via the integrated Facebook and Flickr uploaders. On an iPad 2, Snapseed is extremely quick and very smooth in operation, too. The only action that takes longer than a moment is opening large image files to begin editing, but even this is achieved in a couple of seconds.

At $4.99, Snapseed is a steal, but there are a couple of things we'd like to see included in future updates. Like many photography applications, Snapseed is hamstrung slightly by the fact that you can't zoom into images to see the pixel-level effects of your adjustments. This isn't a problem most of the time, but when adding texture effects and grain filters, it does mean that you have almost no idea about how images will actually look close-up until they've been saved. "

Thank you dpreview. There's more information there, about the editing capabilities. Hope this helps!
