When looking to enhance the visual side of your photos, you can do so much with photo editing apps.
Gone are the days where you have to wait until you’re at the back of your desktop computer to apply filters and edit your photos. Today, we all have smartphones with powerful cameras that support various photo editing apps. Here are six must-have photo editing apps for phones that you can try.
VSCO
VSCO is a free photo editing app that combines a camera, editing tools, and an online community. The app is designed to make your photos look like a vintage film that is captured on an analog film camera. You can pick from a collection of free preset filters. Once you are done editing your photo, you can share it on various social media sites or the VSCO community. The built-in community lets you engage with a diverse group of creators from across the globe.
Snapseed
Snapseed is a Google-owned app with classic photo editing abilities and a wide range of color tools and exposure to make tweaks to your photos. This app is free and comes with a variety of preset filters. It has some classic tools like text, frames, vignettes, straightening, cropping, and much more. Snapseed also has precision masking to edit the depth of field, to make the background blurry, and to bring the foreground into focus.
Prisma Photo Editor
Most filters that transform photos into “paintings” or “drawings” are downright awful. But Prisma is an exception. Prisma has over 500 filters to choose from. This photo editing app utilizes artificial neural networks to make photos appear like they were painted by Salvador Dali, Picasso, or Edvard Munch.
Adobe Lightroom CC
If you want to upgrade your editing game a little further, give Adobe Lightroom CC a try. This app remains an industry standard for professional photographers. The beauty of this app is that both beginners and professionals can use it. One of the best things about this app is that it is not trying to do everything for everyone. It primarily focuses upon a collection of high-quality adjustment tools to fix the distortion, grain, and color of your photos.
EnlightPhotofox
EnlightPhotofox is an editing app and its most popular feature is the ability to blend photos together to create dramatic effects. The feature of adding graphics and layers to photos is incredible and the learning curve is not steep at all.
PicsArt
Picsart has a plethora of editing tools, ranging from basic adjustment tools to cinematic color grading features to transform your photos into painting-like pieces of art. Using this free app you can change backgrounds, create collages, add stickers, and much more.
