Apple this afternoon uploaded a new iPhone tutorial video that's aimed at encouraging users to experiment with color when editing an iPhone shot to get a more distinctive photo.

The 32 second video walks users through selecting a photo, selecting the "Edit" function in the Photos app, and then tweaking the color levels to get a new look.


For the last several months, Apple has been sharing iPhone photography tutorials on a regular basis as part of an ongoing series designed to provide users with tips and tricks on using Camera and Photos features.

Like many videos in the photography series, the video focusing on color experimentation is aimed at people who aren't particularly familiar with the feature set of the iPhone.

More advanced users may not find this video, or other similar videos, useful, but for those who are new to the iPhone or who have yet to delve into all of the editing tools and features available when capturing images, Apple's info is worth checking out.

Apple has a dedicated Photography How To website where it aggregates many of the past tutorial videos it's shared. Topics include shooting selfie Portraits, adjusting slo-mo timing, experimenting with framing, using Portrait Lighting effects, and more.

iOS now has a nice photo editor. Though personally, the only photo enhancement I like to do is chop off the empty ends of the color levels when I have some under-or-overexposed parts in my photo.
 
Not meaning to sound negative or anything, but why don’t Apple publish tutorial videos for the Mac as well, in addition to iOS tutorial videos? Unless I missed them.
 
There's a lot of built-in help in macOS that iOS lacks.
Yeah it's easier to keep OS X tutorials as text based than videos because a lot of the UI changes from version to version. Apple support had entire video series on the iWork suite that was outdated as soon as the next version was released.

This explains why there is no Aperture successor. Apple is stuck on these ridiculous basics that even a monkey can do.
Isn't it hilarious that they often pick a photo that is just ideal for a given example and they never use complex everyday photos.
I really don't like this new Apple. Miss the 2008 era when Mac Pro was affordable, Apple Cinema Displays existed and each event was actually exciting. Store being down actually meant something :)

Seriously? Apple what is wrong with you?
sounds like you have your own 3rd party editor which is great - however, for regular folks this simple tools can be fun - my mother had not clue she could lighten some dark vacation photos while posting to Facebook and when I showed her, she was to shock to find all editing options hidden away.
 
while the few filters and things that are in the camera app are great for those .000000001%of people that don't use any social media or IG type app. apple needs to kick it into high gear and make if not like 50% more(like what is in the mac photo app) more editing, they at least should have a sharpening tool. of course some in camera app setings would be cool also. just having a sharpening tool, would help me tremendously. the same goes for all smart phones that aren't apple(if they had a simpler OS like iOS i'd probably switch in a heartbeat.. but android annoys me in all ways except the camera/photo features.
