Best Photo Editing Apps for Smartphones

Smartphones now come with built-in powerful editing tools. In addition, there are several mobile apps that you can dowload and use to make your selfies and other photos look even more interesting. Try them and have your work printed at the corner Walmart to see how they’d look on real photo paper.  Here’s a list of awsome apps that are highly recommended by most tech review sites:

Adobe Photoshop Express, a lightweight version of the leading photo editor that allows you to crop and straighten your photos, as well as apply filters, effects and borders on your prints. The free app comes with a number of basic features. You can also order in-app purchase packages with additional filters, effects, and more, at prices ranging from $4.99 to $59.99.

Fotor, an app that not only lets you edit, collage and share images, but also lets you discover masterpieces snapped by other users. The latest version comes with a ‘focus’ feature that is based on SLR technology, allowing you to use your phone to create pictures with greater depth and clarity. With this new feature, just select a focal point, adjust the emulator to your preference, and create a high definition finish.

Bonfire, comes with new innovative effects including artificial intelligence enhanced Face/Selfie filters, extremely realistic painting filters like oil/surrealism/impressionism/abstract filters, as well as intriguing filters like funk/tone/glass/dots.

Filterstorm, which offers many of the same features that you’d find in a powerful desktop photo editor. It can support up to five layers at a time, and allows you to make adjustments to the image including brush, gradient, color range, vignette or selecting opacity. You can work with the brightness/contrast in a photo, the temperature, exposure, and saturation as well as crop a picture according to specific aspect ratio you’d want in the final image.

Qwik, describes itself as “the fastest and easiest way to make pretty photos” and comes loaded with over 600 filers, along with an impressive array of fonts and frames.

VSCO Cam, comes packed with features like high resolution imports, as well as “before and after” comparisons to help you in your editing.

Camera+, app designed not only for editing photos but also for taking them as well. It has a built-in stabilizer for steadying your camera while taking pictures, a 6x zoom for getting close to your subject, and a grid to help you line up your shot perfectly.

Autodesk Pixlr, a highly rated and popular photo editor app with a host of editing options including red-eye removal, a whiten teeth option, a one-click enhance tool, borders, filters, and a preview functionality.
