For class our minds will be expanded by Clarence & Chad. Clarence has been posting photos were he uses the Apple Pencil on his iPad Pro in Photos. Apple Pencils are a fine point stylus that connects to an iPad via Bluetooth and recharges from its Lightning port. If you have a different stylus, you will still learn new tricks! Chad has been working with photos in Leonardo and other apps on his iPhone and iPad. Be ready for Insight 2.0!
There is a powerful app on our list: Snapseed. You will appreciate the features and the price tag (free). Here are two links to help you see the potential in your mobile darkroom / photo studio:

You will want to play with Snapseed for 20-30 minutes before watching these videos all the way through. Then you might want to select photos from your Camera Roll and rewind to follow along. I can definitely see that watching these videos two or three times will help me "play" with the features in Snapseed and create new artwork.
Here are my hints on Snapseed. Copying the edits from one image to another is a powerful feature.
Any app will have familiar features for editing photos. Because of your desktop editing experiences you will find mobile editing features implemented for touch gestures. The motto is: Touch Every Button. The icons only hint at what power lies within.
