Look around the next time you’re at a baseball game, playground or even a wedding. Chances are a lot of the photos are being taken with a cellphone, not a digital camera. More and more, people are also editing their photos on their phones. There are apps for both for traditional editing, like cropping and brightness, and for applying fun and artistic effects, like sepia or cartoonization.
Here are some of our favorite apps for Apple iOS and Android devices. Just one bit of advice: Always start by getting the picture you want, before experimenting with effects. You can always undo those you don’t like.
InstagramInstagram
Primarily a photo-sharing app, much like a Twitter for photos, Instagram lets you share with groups of friends and view their feeds. But it also includes basic image editing and some fun filters and effects. Plus you can upload your creations to Facebook. A downside is that images are down-sized. Free on iTunes.
Snapbucket
The popular photo-sharing site Photobucket recently launched this mobile app for both Android and iPhone, and not surprisingly, it excels at sharing. It offers basic editing, filters and effects in an easy interface. Photos can be saved and posted to social sites, with captions. Free on Android Market and iTunes

Vignette by NEILANDTHERESAVignette
If you love special effects, Vignette delivers. There are 84 effects, including retro and vintage styles, toy camera effects (LOMO, Diana and Holga), photobooth, as well as a bunch of interesting film effects, like double exposure and cross-process. It is designed to apply those filters during picture-taking, but they can be applied from the gallery too. Unfortunately, it doesn’t save your original images. $4.04 on Android Market
