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.
-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.
