The intention for Darkroom! is really good. It would be the perfect app for me - if it worked. It's a little galling that the developer knows that the app isn't ready for release (see quote below) but is ready to charge for it anyway..... then blame the iPhone.

Definitely try before you buy. The color controls are great but this application has issues that keep it from being a 4- or 5-star application. First, the crop border is always on. Any part of your picture that falls outside of the frame during zooming or rotation will be deleted. You could shrink the image within the crop area, then rotate the photo, but honestly, it's a hassle, besides, I can't be sure, but it looks like the image gets resampled (you lose resolution) when it gets reduced. What happens when you want to scale it back up afterwards? Also, you can't make the cropping area larger; only smaller. Second, the application crashes regularly during editing. Repeat: you will definitely crash often. Color controls are sometimes hard to grab.

This is a versatile app for photo editing. It has many editing controls, all of which work by adjusting a slider. Furthermore, you get a live preview as you adjust each control. Cropping, rotating and distorting of an image are also possible with this app by pinching with your fingers. If you change your mind, you can undo an effect, as well as re-do. You can edit photos from the photo library or from the camera.

I have to disagree with needMoreP and say this application is pretty solid. Especially since there isn't much out there in the way of serious image-editing programs for the iphone, the app fits a much-needed niche. I thought it would be clunky but its snappy and I can do crops and rotating quickly. I have seen it crash once but not since then. Sliders to change the color and contrast are all together on a single menu (like in iPhoto) so you can play with them and see the image that results as you do it. Pretty creative idea to pack all that functionality in the iPhone's small screen.

This needs more work. When I rotate from vertical to horizontal, I cut my head off. Then when tried to shrink the photo to fit, it save a blurry finish. Please fix crop option!

I love this app. Cropping is much better than I imagined, and the effects are great. Though I do agree it would be even better if it could take pictures WITH the filters on, but that is a minor detail. If you expect this to perfect ALL your pictures, you'd be wrong. But if you were that concerned about photos, you shouldn't of got an iPhone.

I have tried most, if not all, of the other editors. I loved Naked Touch because it had exactly what I needed BUT it was a memory hog and is therefore really sluggish. Darkroom does just as much (minus the Flickr/Facebook submission goodness) but does it quite snappily and without crashing. I've found my photo editor of choice!

Usually I use Photoshop but I needed an App for the iPhone that could handle the basics. This App. does way more than I expected. If it freezes just reboot the iPhone once, all solved. Great App!!

Simply beautiful!

Crop is busted. No matter what it shows on screen, it crops from the top left corner. The developer has an update already which is undergoing review. In the meantime, you may want to look at "Crop for Free," which isn't as elegant or easy to use, but it will get the job done.

It is a bit buggy. It freezes up from time to time. The scaling and warping takes a bit of getting used to, but over all, it's pretty neat. I look forward to upgrades.

Crop is broken.

Great photo touch up tool. The program is simple yet capable of fairly complex image editing. By making good use of intuitive gestures, images are easily cropped, distorted and color corrected (or uncorrected, depending on your needs). Sometimes the program is a bit confusing as to final image size/resolution, or when horizontal sliders show up as vertical ones. The white and black point sliders also work differently from what a Photoshop user might expect.

I think this app is very useful. I needed a photo editor and for the price this is what I wanted. No bugs or crashes for me and 3.0. Get it. mr dud
