iOS 8 brings with it an awesome new ability to pull filters, editing tools, and lots more from your favorite photo editing and filter apps. However, it requires that developers support the feature in order for it to work. Luckily, there are already a handful of really great ones available that can give you a wide range of tools to use without ever having to leave the Photos app. So if you're only concerned with the best iPhone apps where photo extensions are concerned, these six apps should definitely be on your short list!
Litely
Litely has some of the best subtle filters that aim to enhance your photos rather than change them completely. Not only can you access them all inside the Photos app now, you can also hop into the Litely app when you want a better idea of how filters impact your photos in order to see split screen views, crop however you'd like and even more.
If you want a selection of tasteful filters that aren't overdone right at your fingertips, get Litely.

Halftone 2 lets you turn your photos into comic book pages in just seconds, and can you honestly tell me anything that's more fun that turning your dog into a superhero? Yeah, I didn't think so. Right now only filter support is available via extensions, which means you can add all kinds of textures and overlays. However, if you want to add captions and multiple images per page, you'll need to switch over to using the dedicated Halftone 2 app itself.
If comic book filters are your thing, you'll love the photo filter extensions available via Halftone 2.

If you like textures and architecture, Fragment is definitely a photo editing app you want to have in your arsenal.
