For shots marred by a bad color cast (an orange tint under incandescent light, for example) the “Fix Tint” preset tries to restore a more realistic color balance.

Large preset buttons (along the side or bottom, depending on device orientation) offer one-touch enhancement options.īy default you'll see the previewed results of the “Fix” preset, a general-purpose optimization that does a pretty good job of balancing exposure and adding some punch to flat photos.

We’d recommend shooting with the native iOS app (or anything else that captures to the Camera Roll) and then opening photos for processing in Perfectly Clear. There’s a place for this approach in an app like Instagram that can give a live preview of some post-processing effects as you compose the shot, but here it’s more likely to be a hassle than a help. This is unsuitable for photographing a dynamic situation because you can’t shoot again immediately. Take a photo and you’re offered two options: you can either send the image to the post-processing stage or discard it and shoot again.
