BASIC TOOLS:
Crop, Rotate, Flip, Resize, Brightness/Contrast, Black&White, Color Tone (warmer/colder), Invert, unlimited Undo and Redo.
---
TOUCH-UP TOOLS:
Pencil, Brush, Stamps (adjustable color, shape, size, opacity and hardness)
Clone Stamp, Smudge, Brighten, Hue, Color, Eraser.
19 color blending modes with examples and description.
1) Cool effects how-to:
a) “JOKER FACE”:
- Open a photo, select Brighten tool, set Effect/Opacity to 100%.
- Paint over a person's face.
- Use eraser over eyes and mouth.
- Optionally, add some red paint around the mouth, save photo and e-mail it to your friends :)
b ) SELECTIVE COLORIZATION
- Select Black&White tool,
- Select type of brush - “Entire Image”
- Touch your photo.
- Now use eraser!
Use the same technique to create amazing effects:
Fill entire image (select Pencil, 'Entire image', color - blue, blend mode - normal, Effect 50%, touch an image) and try using Eraser with a shape (press Heart stamp then select Eraser).
c) BLEMISH REMOVAL with Clone Stamp:
- Select Clone Stamp.
- Double tap a nearby skin area (a circle with a cross will appear)
- Now touch and move over a blemish.
Experiment with different opacity and hardness values.
d) CHANGE EYE COLOR:
- In Settings, set Canvas Size->1024x768.
- Open a portrait, pinch to m in.
- Select Hue tool (for greyscale images use Color tool), set Effect to 50%.
- Select Green color, paint over an iris.
- Experiment with different values for effect/size/hardness.
2) Smudge tool is for blurring objects and/or moving them around, changing object shape.
Try Smudge tool with different opacity and hardness. For example, set hardness to 100% to move objects (slowly) without blurring them.
3) Pencil, Brush and Stamps work with different colors and blend modes.
4) Eraser removes "upper" layer (layer with effects).
To undo all changes - select “Entire Image”, Eraser, touch an image - the whole effects layer will be erased.

There are other photo editing apps, why should I get yours?
Some reasons:
a) It has the biggest* number of actually useful photo editing tools in one app. Tools are constantly improved through free updates.
(*Drop us a line if you find any other iPhone app with the same set of features).
b) Great user interface.
c) The price is low and there are no annoying ads.
d) iPod Touch owners: it does work on iPod Touch.
e) If you have used desktop photo editors before, you will be familiar with most iRetouch features without reading any long manuals.
f) Last but not least, you can try a free version - iRetouch Lite before you decide to buy the full version.

I have a bug report/feature request
We'd be happy to hear from you. Contact us at support@imapl.com.
If saved images look blurry – update to iPhone OS 2.2.1 or save photos with a different size (e.g., 804x603 vs. 800x600)
