Best Free Photo Editing Apps For Iphone And Andriod, Best Photo Editing Apps, professional Photo editing

I'll use photo editing apps literally everyday and even sometimes it's easier to do it on my phone rather than on a computer because some of the tools are just really simple and easy to use so I'm gonna share five that I've used before and think are just pretty good in terms of what they give us so let's start with the first one which is Snapseed which is now owned by Google and this is what I would say is a fundamental imaging app you're not going to get too many bells and whistles with this one but it is really simple easy to use and everything is really done with a slider so you can just put your finger anywhere on the screen move it left and right and it will change how the image looks so there are some simple tools on this one and you can go straight into toon image and this is the name that they give to the functions that change the way the image looks so you can change the brightness the contrast the exposure even the saturation and the warmth which is changing the light temperature maybe you want it to look a bit warmer or cooler everything can be done in tune image you can also crop the image in and out of course every editor will let you do this and there are some styles on Snapseed definitely not the biggest selection I think some other apps maybe have a bigger selection of styles and presets that you can use straight away but there are some on this one and you might want to check them out what's really good about Snapseed though is that they have this brush and with the brush you can actually change the image so let's say you want to change the exposure or the contrast in an image maybe the highlights are too bright you want to bring them down well actually with a brush you can selectively change the exposure or the saturation or the color warmth just where you place the brush which means you can be really selective about your edits usually with apps you can only change the whole image so if you want to make it a little bit darker then all of the image gets darker or brighter you can change highlights and shadows separately and a lot of apps but this one is really good in a way that you can just touch the screen and change anything you using that brush really selectively next we have the adobe suite of apps and actually Adobe made a great set of free applications for editing pretty much anything so you should go and check them all out because you can sign up for an adobe cloud account you don't actually have to pay a subscription for the free apps that they give you there are subscriptions to that you can use that give you access to a lot more features but the free features are really good as well so for me Photoshop and Lightroom are the easiest to use and the ones that I use most often so with Photoshop basically this has everything in there so it's really good at changing the contrast ratios and just the styles of your photo they have a ton of preset styles otherwise known as Lux or look-up tables that can be put on top of your image and completely change the look and feel of it there's a lot more on Photoshop for example than on Snapseed you can put these overlays on as they call them it changes the style completely you can also choose how much of that overlay you want so if it's a bit strong in terms of how it changes your image you can just turn it down little bit until it looks better you can also automatically change it there's like an auto brush feature that you've compressed and it will scan your image and then change it a little bit based on how it thinks it should look like and you can change that as you want as well if you don't think it's very good you can also go in and edit everything yourself individually again it uses a slider system so choose what you want to change for example the contrast or the colors and then just change it with the slider bar it's super easy and you can just make your images pop and just look a little bit better like they were taken on a proper camera and using Photoshop Lightroom is more or less the same as Photoshop actually they do have a lot of overlap and only really when you move up to the paid version do you get a lot more features in Lightroom but Lightroom does pretty much the same thing you can just change the way that the image looks you can change the contrast and the difference between the shadows and the highlights there aren't as many presets on Lightroom it really is more of an for you to go in and change it yourself there are some presets that you can use but I would say that Photoshop and Lightroom really do overlap in terms of the free versions so you might want to give both of them a try and see which one suits you more but both of them are really good tools from Adobe I've put canva on the list and this is a kind of different one it's not a photo editing tool as such like Photoshop or Snapseed but what this does really is enable you to make an image from scratch so you can actually choose the dimensions of the image first so if you want to make a thumbnail you can choose the YouTube thumbnail size and then start from there and then what you can do is add images on top so you can actually make really good collages like this you can also make invitations if you want to send something out if you want to have maybe a banner or something or you want to actually make a post on Instagram that isn't a photo you want to actually just edit something into it then you can use canva and it's a really good tool for that canva does have some tools as well to edit the look of images so you can change the brightness and the exposure and everything like that definitely not as in-depth as something like Photoshop but it has its own unique strengths and it's something I use all the time airbrush is one that you might want to have a look at it's definitely unique in the features this one really it isn't about changing the colors or the exposure or the brightness like Photoshop would be but airbrush as I guess you can tell by the name is an airbrush tool app so if you want to edit images like they do in the magazines change the shape of someone's face change the color of the skin change the eyes bigger smaller change the face give someone a massive forehead it can really get pretty grotesque I must tell you but all in all a very powerful app to think that you can do all of this on your smartphone you can really change the way someone looks to be completely unrecognizable it's definitely a fun app I'm sure it's useful for a lot of people maybe not useful for others but considering this is free I think it's really powerful that you can pretty much change the way anybody looks completely on your smartphone Pixar has made the list in this video this is very different to the others in I would say that you can add a lot of themes on to your photos which might be something that you want to do so with this one I think it's really good at adding text and also you can write over the image so if you want to just make a different kind of image you can have like a trail like a star trail you can write things on the image and it has some really different looks I feel it concentrates mostly on all of the drawing aspects you can actually just start drawing on a completely new image so you don't have to upload an image so yeah I guess the name itself picsArt sort of gives away what this app concentrates on Pixar is more simple in terms of changing an image so if you want to upload an image and you really want to fix it maybe it's too bright or too dark and you really just want to fix that first you might want to look at Snapseed and photoshop this one is about adding stuff onto photo so themes and text and drawing and different types of stickers that you can use on here as well there's lots of creative tools on this one that's really what it concentrates on so it might be worth having a look at if you just want to create some different images but that is five that I have used and do use quite often I'd love to know your favorite five or what you think of these runs as always put them in the comments below that is it for this one
