PhotoPal, sales of US $0.99 on December 20, aims at the beginner photographer who wants to make some fairly serious editing images on the iPad. Fortunately, Tablet from Apple is well suited to this kind of work, simply because of the larger screen. The downside is that without a camera, only to change on the iPad photos are those that you download or synchronize to the device.

That said, PhotoPal is very pleasant and easy to use features. This latest version adds a redeye removal tool, a tool for healing spot and clear and detailed help. The application contains the types of things that you expect from a program, including color, temperature level balance hue/saturation adjustment, shadow and colours of photo retouching. It also has some features end higher as shadow detail, noise removal, sharpening and setting gamma.

There is also an interesting option that allows you to save your images to, or import them from a folder that is visible in iTunes when your iPad is connected to your Mac. Of course, you can also open your iPad photo albums or photos via the Clipboard. Your finished images can be saved in the iPad or sent by electronic mail, Twitter, Flickr or Facebook.

Other tools included are flip and do rotate, crop, align (right) and resize. They work well and the operation is obvious and intuitive. The application includes the context-sensitive help. You can also view your image without UI Edition, to get a less entertaining aspect to it. The application also includes multiple levels of undo and an option to return.

There are some negatives. In some respects, the application tries to be a little too cute. While some operations take place, a quiz or some other random information appears. It is irrelevant to what was going on and is should be eliminated or allow the user to choose whether or not they want that information. Thus, the choice of the colours of the image is quite limited. Things such as a personal choice, and have a few colors to choose, especially in the light of the power of the application in General seems a shame.

Of course, the application is not Photoshop, but it is much more powerful than many photo editing applications put at the disposal of the iPad. If you are interested in changing your work on the iPad, this application is a useful purchase, especially at 75% on the selling price.
