For what better use was the iPad created than image manipulation? While some use it to browse the internet in all its full-color, hi-rez glory and others use it to play video games or watch streaming movies on the go, the quintessential tablet is clearly designed to handle an image-heavy load. Along these lines, it also makes for a handy photo editor, assuming that you’ve downloaded the right software. And one of the latest and greatest applications to hit the market in this genre is Photoshop Touch, which could most adequately be described as a slightly smaller version of the behemoth Adobe product you’ve come to know and love through years of use on your home computer. Of course, this product is also available on the iPhone, but the larger screen size and the retinal display of the iPad were made for just this purpose. And when the visual prowess of the iPad is combined with the many tools Photoshop has to offer, users won’t be able to tear themselves away from the creative possibilities.

Although this app will set you back by $9.99, which signifies a pretty big commitment in the app-sphere, it is customized for use on the iPad, so you’ll find features like selection tools and adjustments geared to touch-pad usage, as well as the layers, filters, stamps, and corrective tools you’ve come to expect from the folks at Adobe. But of course, there is some functionality that’s specific to your mobile devices. It’s a good idea to start with the handy tutorial; even those familiar with Adobe products will want to learn the ins and outs of this app in order to make the most of their purchase and get to the fun of editing their favorite pics.

From there you can begin uploading images from your camera or cloud storage (you get 2GB with Adobe Creative Cloud when you download the app), or you can connect to a Google image search to find what you’re looking for, or even peruse the Photoshop gallery for inspiration and options. Once you import your photo the sky is the limit. For one thing, you can layer to your hearts’ delight, taking snippets of pictures and graphics to create a one-of-a-kind finished product. And thanks to the camera on your iPad you can take advantage of the “fill” feature to refine layers of your project. For example, if you ended up with a vacation photo in which someone was blinking, all you have to do is take another photo of the person after the fact to replace his eyes or his whole face, keeping the rest of the photo intact. You can also scribble to remove parts you don’t like and refine edges (like stray hairs).

Of course, once you’ve created your masterpiece you’ll want to share it with others. And thanks to integration with Facebook and Twitter, sharing is a snap. You can also make prints of your projects wirelessly via AirPrint so you can frame copies of favorites to put on your mantle or send to family and friends. You could even create an online photo album book with your finished Photoshop Touch creations. If you’re looking for a photo editor for your iPad that does it all, you can’t go wrong with this Adobe product. And although it will set you back ten bucks, you’re bound to get your money’s worth if you love to transform your average photo into a work of art.

Just in time, AppyFridays has three more awesome Mac apps that have gone on sale for free, but only for a limited time.

Dramatic Black & White ($5.99 -> Free) — This app lets you create awe inspiring black-and-white photography automatically from a snapshot or image. By removing color the photo transforms into a classic beauty with extraordinary light, texture and form.

Easy Music Converter ($9.99 -> Free) — This app is the fastest and the easiest batch music converter. The app lets extract audio from video, copy meta data, export files directly to iTunes library and a lot more in a few clicks.

All 3 apps will go free today in Mac App Store, however, this Sunday evening the sale will end. More details are available on the official website.

The iTunes store is rife with apps designed to help you manage your personal finances and plan for your fiscal future. Some of them guide you through creating a monthly budget and even allow you to pay your bills via smartphone or tablet. Others help you track expenses and save digital receipts for your business. Still others assist you in preparing and filing your taxes. And while you can certainly find a wealth of apps geared towards on-the-go stock trading, you may want to start with an app that can help you to track the stocks you’re interested in, build and follow a portfolio, and even learn how to invest through features that allow you to practice trading in a virtual environment that mimics actual stock trades. When it comes to managing your personal finances you no doubt want to make your money work harder for you. And Real-time Stock Tracker is one application for your favorite iDevices that can help you to reach your financial goals.

Although you can’t actually perform trades with the application, a free download allows you to track stocks via streaming interface. While other apps of this type may leave you waiting for stodgy refresh rates in order to get updated stock quotes, this one lives up to its name with real-time, streaming quotes. Of course, there’s a lot more going on in this app, but unless you want to shell out some dough, this is what you’ll get. For some, live stock quotes are enough. But others may want to lay down the $9.99 required to get the full version. There are also plenty of piecemeal purchases in-app, such as ad removal, push alerts, advanced charts, and a variety of virtual funds to play with, but considering that these features range in price from $0.99 to $4.99 each, you’re better off spending the ten bucks up front and getting all the functionality you desire.

Now, you might wonder just exactly what you’ll get for the money. For starters, you’ll have access to the real-time stock tracker (ad-free), including your personalized watchlist. Add markets and stocks to your heart’s content and you’ll populate a list that shows you profits (in green) and losses (in red) as well as numeric values. You can also select any stock on the list to see a full-page chart that features highs, lows, and other data for the day, the year, or the past several quarters. You can also populate your own portfolios with the options and investments you hold. And if you already have portfolios via Google or Yahoo finance, all you have to do is import them. From there it’s easy to set up push notifications so you can receive instant updates on any stocks that interest you.

Of course, you might be just starting your foray into the wide world of investing, in which case a crash course may be in order. Luckily, Real-time Stock Tracker has a paper-trade feature that lets you carry out virtual trading scenarios sans cash to give you a feel for how the system works. This can also act as a fun fantasy tool for accomplished traders that want to see how they’d fare with additional funds. So whether you’ve got money in the bank that you’d like to put into the stock market or you’re living on payday loans and looking for a way to improve your lot in life, consider downloading Real-time Stock Tracker. This is one app that can definitely help you to navigate the tricky waters of investing and come out ahead.
