The new editing tools and camera features in iOS 11 will make your iPhone shots feel more like DSLR photos.

You'll now be able to edit Live Photos.

Exciting changes to your iPhone's camera have arrived.

Apple's latest iPhone operating system, iOS 11, became available to download on Tuesday. Anyone with an iPhone 5s or newer can download the update, and it comes standard on the new iPhone 8.

When it comes to the camera, there are new editing tools and camera features that will make your iPhone shots feel more like DSLR photos.

While many of the changes will be available to all iPhone users, keep in mind that Apple's DSLR-like feature, Portrait mode, isn't available to everyone. Only those with an iPhone 7 Plus or later have Portrait mode, so only those users will see some of the new tweaks.

Here's a look at all the new photo features in iOS 11:

Memories are more intelligent — and more personalized.

Memories — the photo and video collections Apple automatically creates for you — will now be able to pick your best photos, eliminating things like people blinking or doubled up images.

iOS 11 also includes new types of memories for events like nights out, "TBTs," and anniversaries.

Live Photos got new effects.

With iOS 11, Live Photos got three new effects: Loop, bounce, and long exposure.

You can now edit Live Photos.

Compression is two times better, meaning you can store twice as many photos and videos.

Your People folders are now more accurate and have a better look and feel.

Portrait mode now looks even more like a DSLR image.

Your camera now has new built-in filters.

Apple overhauled its camera filters with three new styles: Vivid, dramatic, and silvertone, which is a new black and white filter.

The filters will have additional enhancements like "vivid warm" or "dramatic cool," and it will be easier to preview the filter with a slide-able strip under the image.

Your camera can now detect QR codes.
