ACDSee Camera Flash - App review

Have you ever taken a picture with your iPhone and just wished there would have been a giant flashlight attached to your phone? Yes?
Then this app might just be what you need. "ACDSee Camera Flash" is a free app that claims to lighten up your picture, even if its almost pitchblack. I wanted to try it out with a picture i have taken a while ago when i was at Mallorca. I tried to push it as far as i could, and the results are here:

Postprocessed with ACDSee Camera Flash

As you can see there is much grain in the second picture, especially in the black regions. Yet, those parts which were already a bit lightened up, are now totally bright and clear. And by trying to get a balance between too-much-grain und good brightness you can get quite far with this simple app.


Conclusion:

This app does just one thing. And it does it perfectly. And for free.
What else do you need? Go and grab it if you ever think you could use this function for a quick improvement.
