10+ Best apps for editing pictures

1.Snapsleed

Snapseed is a photo-editing application that enables users to enhance photos and apply digital filters. The app was created by Nik Software, but now belongs to Google as they purchased the company in 2012 for $186 million.

Snapseed’s most recent update came out just last week with added features like improved spot healing brush tools and other fixes including an issue where some images would not save fully edited when exporting them from iCloud Drive or Flickr Albums into Snapseist

Google is also currently running a promotion for Snapseed users where they can trade in their current iOS photo-editing app (Instagram, Photoshop Express or Camera+) and if you’re one of the first 250 people who enter then you’ll be able to get it for free ($3.99 value). The promotional offer will last until July 15, 2017.

Snapseed is available for both Android and iOS devices’ App Stores and you can check out more about the app by visiting Snapseed’s website at www.snapseed.com .

2.Adobe Lightroom

Adobe Lightroom is a creative image organization and manipulation software that allows you to organize your pictures, enhance them with powerful tools like brushes or sharpeners, crop images for different formats. With easy-to-use editing controls and automatic adjustments based on the type of photo–like landscape shots where dark shadows are typically an issue–your photos can look better than ever before.

Adobe Lightroom offers several advantages over other photography apps: it’s free (as part of Creative Cloud), has high quality features such as having selective control over color saturation levels in regions within each picture; customizing glare reduction settings so that reflections from surfaces like water don’t show up when taking photographs at night time; adding textures onto the background which make a photograph appear to be taken at a different time of day or in a different location, it really was.

Lightroom is great for photographers who want more control over their pictures than what’s offered by Instagram and other digital photography apps. The steps involved in using this app are user-friendly; after completing an initial setup process including loading a few images, you’re ready to begin editing. You can even open and edit photos while they are still being transferred from your camera via or the cloud.

There is extensive documentation on Adobe’s website, as well as training videos available from within the Lightroom software itself. On top of that, there are several online communities set up for Lightroom users to ask questions and share their knowledge with other users.

While you can of tasks in Lightroom without knowing any technical jargon, it does have numerous advanced options that aren’t necessarily obvious. For instance, every photograph or video clip has its own set of “presets” settings such as exposure and saturation levels. Changing a preset can change the way an entire image looks, and you don’t always know what effect a preset will have until you apply it to an image and look at the results.

While Lightroom does let you undo presets once they’re applied, this is not possible when working with your own customized brushes or colors that make up a brush stroke. Fortunately, once you learn how to use Lightroom’s undo function in conjunction with the history panel, which makes it easy to go back to any previous state of an image or video clip being edited, it becomes considerably easier to experiment with presets and brushes.

Sometimes your edits are also limited by what’s available in your preset library. The preset effects are grouped by their main categories, such as “Effects”, “Treatments”, “Brush Strokes” and others, and these groups can have additional sub-sections. But if you’re looking for a specific effect or brush stroke that isn’t already there (such as to create a matte watermark on each image), you’ll need to create it yourself.

For simple edits like reducing glare or contrast, Lightroom’s sliders-based interface makes it easy to make rapid changes without even having to look at what you’re doing. You can also choose between a “Basic” and “Advanced” mode mode, the controls are simplified in the “Basic” mode, which is good for beginners who are still learning the software.

Quickly change white balance to any color you want by clicking on the color temperature or tint in a palette that appears when you click on the top of a photo. There’s also a “Combine” function if you want to combine multiple photographs into one, such as for taking a panoramic shot.

Although the Lightroom interface is initially cluttered, all you have to do it take some time to learn the layout and you’ll be able to find what you need quickly. The “Grid” view option that hides most of the editing controls can be useful if you want to make a large number of edits to multiple images at the same time, for example.

As you use Lightroom for longer periods of time in order to edit more and more pictures, be sure to take advantage of its “Snapshots” feature which let’s you save your current collection of presets so that you can quickly apply them again later on. This is a handy feature when you need to make several edits at the same time, and it’s much quicker than re-creating your presets from scratch.

Lightroom doesn’t have a trash can or recycle bin for deleting photos that might have been accidentally overwritten during editing. However, you can save them as separate files by using the “Publish” function from the

You can also merge multiple photos into a single JPEG file, which is useful for when you want to save space on your hard drive or share these photos via email and don’t need separate individual files. Once this is the “History Brush” to edit multiple images at once.

This is a much quicker way of making large batch edits, and it’s especially useful if you have a lot of JPEG images that need to be edited. While it’s not the ideal way to completely rework an image or video clip (since you only get one chance at editing), you can still make some changes such as adjusting exposure, tint and saturation, then revert back to your original version if you’re unhappy with the new result.

3.VSCO

VSCO is an app that lets users take and edit their pictures on mobile devices. Users can choose from a variety of filters, including black & white or vintage to make photos more creative. VSCO was created by Joel Flory and Greg Lutze in 2011 after they found themselves frustrated with the editing options available for smartphones at the time

The photo-editing software industry has exploded over recent years as people have become progressively reliant upon technology for almost every aspect of our lives – it’s only natural that we want control over how we present ourselves online too! With this need came apps such as Instagram, which allows you to apply different filtered effects before posting your final product onto social media sites like Facebook or Twitter; but when one picture is only capable of using one filter, the options are limited.

VSCO was developed with a completely different approach – while Instagram and other apps focused on filters that could be applied to entire pictures quickly so users can get straight onto uploading their masterpiece to social media, VSCO focused on developing editing presets which would translate into more aesthetically pleasing final images. Like Instagram, VSCO has a wide variety of filters and effects which users can choose from – but unlike Instagram, the options aren’t mutually exclusive; you could apply a black & white preset to your picture before applying an 80’s effect filter with pink saturation levels for example.

This level of sophistication appealed to a much more niche audience at first; while Instagram was able to completely dominate the mobile photo-editing market, VSCO remained relatively unheard of until late 2013. This surge in popularity came with a new marketing strategy – one that focused on the quality of one’s photos, rather than how many ‘likes’ you could get from posting them online. As part of this marketing strategy, VSCO began releasing videos to their YouTube channel – the titled “A Day in New York” and saw a spent wandering round Manhattan with a friend. The film featured black & white photographs taken using the VSCO app, and then applied with vintage filters to create a unique effect. The video had a run time of seven minutes, and has now been viewed almost over a million times – this shows just how much of an impact it can have on your business to produce something unique like this.

Today, VSCO is available from the Apple store for IOS users and Google Play in its Android version. It costs  $2.99, but there’s a free trial available for everyone to download the app and see if it works with their pictures.

VSCO has come along way since its first release in 2011; now, I’m sure you’ll agree that Instagram changed how we take and post pictures on social media – VSCO has made it easier than ever to make those photos look even better!

4.Pixlr

This Pixlr is a cloud-based suite of tools and utilities for making your photos look their best. Among Pixlr’s many features are simple photo editing, advanced image enhancing, collaboration with friends or strangers alike to make the world more beautiful (you can even post on social media!), and an award winning mobile app perfect for sharing pictures from anywhere in seconds!
