An editorial reading of the saved reviews

Afterlight is valued for its film presets that deliver a lively, non-generic result without garish processing. The gradient and color tone overlay tool is unique among mobile editors. Performance is stable with no freezes during normal use. The weak point: applying several corrections in sequence degrades photo quality and adds vertical banding. There are no healing brush or spot retouching tools.

Film presets with organic grain and tonal shifts, gradient and color film overlays, and edit history with the ability to return to any step.

  • Applying multiple corrections in sequence degrades image quality and introduces banding.
  • There is no spot healing tool for object removal.

What users experience

1 excerpt from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

I've had Afterlight forever, but it needs improvement. I use the filters less than other things but when I do, I'm reasonably satisfied. I use touch editing constantly because it's a relatively straightforward way to fix isolated too-dark or too-bright spots.
