We spend a lot of time trying to tame our technology or wean ourselves from its ills. First up: how to improve those mediocre iPhone photos — you know, the ones that are crooked or too dark — into images that we are proud to share. The first thing to do is to go to Apple’s Photos app , open the picture and tap the Edit button in the upper-right corner of the screen — when holding the phone horizontally. In iOS 11 on an iPhone 8, this takes you into the Edit mode, where the wand-shaped Enhance button in the upper-left corner can be used to brighten the image and enhance the color. (You can also edit photos when holding the phone vertically, and icon placement may vary by iPhone model and iOS version.)
