Now that the holidays are behind us, what are you planning to do with all those great photos you snapped? Whether you took pics at a family gathering or on your kids’ Christmas morning from Santa, you can connect your important mobile phone photos directly to a real human retouching professional with just a tap on an app!  Simple and time-saving, Krome Photos is a completely new class of mobile offering.  It’s the only service available for professional photo editing via the iPhone. The Krome app can be downloaded for free from the Apple App Store and you can start fixing those photos in just a few seconds!

Judging from the prices on my kids’ school photo shots, I expected the retouching fee to be extremely steep.  However, with Krome, prices start as low as 30 cents for simple enhancements and range to $4.99 for more advanced retouching or image editing.  I think that’s extremely affordable and such a timesaver for moms who are too busy to learn the ropes of photo editing software.

Even better, give Krome a try and receive $10 in free credit for first time users!  Their professionals can fix the composition and skin tones in your image, remove someone or something in the background that is distracting, fix or even artistically enhance certain colors, and more, all so you can ensure the best image before going to print your holiday cards or post holiday memories. All enhanced or retouched images are backed up online and can be seamlessly downloaded for later use.  For more details, check out Krome on Facebook.

Krome’s photo editors offer several tips for taking photos. It’s easy to use these suggestions when taking photos of your family!  I added some ideas of my own.

• Think like a photojournalist. Make yourself invisible while your happy friends and family welcome your new little one to the clan.  Krome editors can help make your photos look better by smoothing out skin tones or whitening eyes and teeth during the editing process.

• Set the scene.  Okay, I’ll admit that a new mom doesn’t have a lot of extra time and energy to stage a shot.  Still, you can capture a few images that frame up the location.  For instance, try taking a photo of the nursery when the morning sun is just starting to sparkle through the windows.  At your baby shower, take a long shot of the decorated table before guests are invited to be seated. Ask Krome editors to fix exposure on these types of wide shots if the outdoor sun or lighting is not just perfect.

• Make the group shot interesting. The group line up is nice but what about having everyone doing something interesting even if it’s pointing at baby, opening birthday presents, playing a baby shower game, jumping at the same time, or laughing at a funny story. Colorful props can be fun; Krome photo can amplify the creative effect by enhancing specific colors, upon request.

• Details do matter. It’s great to get the group shot but don’t forget to highlight the special features like the baby’s eyes or tiny toes.  At a baby shower, take a photo of a framed invitation or the beautiful flower arrangement that served as the centerpiece.  Krome can help focus in on a subject during the process by blurring the background to focus on a central image, cropping a bigger image or removing unwanted distractions.
