First of all, for your information, Yahoo! has updated the Flickr for iPhone ONLY. If you are on Android, you will not get that kind of experiences that I am showing now. However, from Yahoo!, the Android app might be “a few months away” without giving an exact date.

Here are some interesting features that might want to try on the app.

Filters

This is not something new for iPhone or Android. On the app, there are 16 filters that you can use to enhance the photo.

This is something new and not found on Android app yet. Yahoo! has added interesting editing features on the app. I have to say that I am impressed by these editing features.

Enhance, Orientation, Crop, Brightness, Contrast

As for Text, you can also choose the color. However, there is no option to choose the font. You can drag the text to make it bigger or rotate it to your liking.

Whiten, Blemish

For the Whiten and Blemish features, it is good for close up of the face. You can magnify the picture to focus on a part of it. Then, you can choose the size to do the whitening or covering up of the blemish. Actually, they are very easy to use.

Here is a video that I made to illustrate the Blemish feature.

Summary

Overall, I like the edit feature of the app, plus you can upload the full resolution of the picture to Flickr account. And Yahoo! Image Search can now be used to find photos from Flickr (that are available for re-use or reposting under Creative Commons terms).

Do give it a try. You can find the app at Apple App Store by searching for Flickr or you can follow the link below.
