One of the most notable features iOS 8 brought was that it allowed third-party app developers to integrate their applications into different parts of iOS. This enabled developers to add their own image filters and a variety of other tools right into the stock Photos application. Using this integration users can edit their photos right from the stock Photos app’s edit page using tools provided by apps like Camera+, Litely and more.
