As they say, the best camera is the one that you have with you. Smart phones manufacturers are packing in better cameras with each release, and users are uploading terabytes of photos to Facebook, Instagram, and Flickr every day. ReadWriteWeb recently published a roundup of the 9 best photo filter apps to make mobile photos look like a million bucks. Here they the highlights (you can check out the entire list here):

Facebook Camera

Shortly after spending $1bil on Instagram, Facebook launched it’s own camera app. You can take a photo and upload it straight to Facebook with one simple utility. The filters are a bit more limited, but the tight integration with Facebook is sure to make it a hit with big users. Be cautious of sharing photos, as it also gives Facebook location data that will certainly be used to advertise to you at some point.

Camera+

Camera+ was an early player in the iOS photo battleground. It combines traditional photo editing capabilities with a variety of filters. So you can use it to add borders, or crop and rotate your photos before uploading them to your favorite service.
