layrs by Artware, Inc. (Free, 21.1 MB): This photo editing app allows quick and easy creation of artistic, subject-focused photos while on-the-go. The method relies on separating the photo into two layers, background and foreground object. To make the process easier on mobile devices, the app includes a "magic" masking tool, which auto-selects an object as you swipe. Indeed, some instances can still be tedious, but practice will result in more efficient handling. Once you've highlighted the object of attention, it's time to move onto the modification stage. The bin of instruments consists of three motion blur and two dozen filter-style effects, plus the standard enhancement adjustments, such as brightness and saturation, that you may apply to one or both layers. When finished, save the photo to the iOS camera roll, send it via email, or share it through Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, or Flickr at normal (1200-by-1200) or high (1800-by-1800) quality.
