These days, most smartphones have great cameras, so why do some people’s photos look much better than others do?
For almost all the best photos taken on smartphones, the answer is editing, using a number of photography apps. From cropping to colour correcting, small tweaks can make the difference between a forgettable snapshot and a truly great photograph.

Today, the process for improving a photo is incredibly easy. There is an app for almost any photo editing you want to do. With so many brand managers creating visual content in-house, it is important to take the time and put forth the strongest possible image to draw in your audience.

Here are 10 favourite photo editing apps, according to some of the most successful photographers on social media:

-Snapseed-

This Google-owned app has almost every tool you want for photo editing. With Snapseed, you can straighten, sharpen and colour-correct easily. The app also has filters that you can use to stylise your photos. Snapseed is free for iOS and Android.

-VSCO-

VSCO dominated the film-inspired filters shortly after Instagram first gained popularity, and is still a classic favourite among Instagram users.
It  provides a plethora of filters and tools to edit photos. If you find a group of editing settings that you particularly enjoy, you can copy and paste them onto photos, making it easy to edit clusters of images in a cohesive way. VSCO is free for iOS and Android, with an additional cost for extra filters.

-Over-

Photos with stylised text are incredibly popular on social media. Over makes it easy to overlay text on your images. The app has a range of fonts that you can use to write out your message.

-Priime-

Similar to VSCO, Priime has filters inspired by popular photographers. It also has an algorithm that analyses your photo and recommends filters that will look best. Priime is free for IOS, but it’s not available for Android.

-TouchRetouch-

Have you ever taken a photo you are psyched about, only to later realise there is a tiny smudge and a piece of trash distracting from its greatness? With TouchRetouch, you can easily edit it out. Problem solved.

-Image Blender-

Are you stuck between two edits? If you wish you can combine two filters, you can with Image Blender. You can also get creative, making images that mimic double exposure photos.
 Image Blender costs some money for iOS; a similar free app is available for Android

-Squaready-
Whether you are feeling boxed in by the square dimensions of Instagram, or just need the perfect crop, Squaready is your friend. It is simple and straightforward with no frills, but it is also effective.
Squaready is free for iOS; a similar free app is available for Android.

-Frontview-

Are you trying to get the perfect architecture shot? Make sure you correct for building parallax, which is when the buildings look warped due to the distortion of the lens, with Frontview, which is free for iOS, but it is not available for Android.

-Layout-

Layout is a new app that was recently introduced by Instagram that makes it easy to create image collages. Use it to create a simple collage or get creative and combine images artistically. The possibilities are vast. Layout is free for iOS and will be coming soon to Android.

-Instagram-

Instagram’s popularity boomed partially because of its initial filters and square images. Though interest in the original filters has waned, Instagram regularly introduces new tools.
Currently, you can straighten, colour-correct, sharpen and create a few photo effects with the social media app’s tools.
By no means are Instagram’s tools innovative in the editing space, but learning how to use the app’s filters and other tools is a good place to start. Instagram is free for iOS and Android.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file

The pair were both the scoresheet as the Blues thrashed Middlesbrough 6-1 at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final to boo their place at Wembley.
