How to Adjust the Light & Color of Photos in Your iPhone's/iPad's Photo App

How to Make Precise Color & Light Adjustments in Photos on iOS

This walkthrough is demonstrated with an iPhone picture of sunset clouds:

1. Open the Photos app in iOS if you haven’t done so yet

2. Select a picture you want to adjust the color and light for, tap on that picture again so that you can reveal the “Edit” button and choose that

3. Now choose the little dial button in the Photos app Edit screen

4. You’ll now see a menu with three options: Light, Color, and B&W – tap any of these to reveal a submenu of each detailed adjustable item

5. Choose one of the submenu adjustable options by tapping on it

6. Now tap on the little preview image timeline near the bottom of the screen, slide left or right to change the intensity of the adjustment as you like (moving to the left tends to reduce the intensity or remove the adjustment, moving to the right tends to increase the intensity or enhance the adjustment)

7. When satisfied with the changes to light and color, tap on “Done” to save the changes to the photo, where it will appear in the Photos app as usual along with the other images
