The best photo editing apps

Ever wondered why some people’s photos taken on the same phone you have look so much better than the ones you’ve taken? Wonder no more! It’s likely all down to the use of editing software. These clever and easy to use programs can be downloaded directly to your phone and used for anything from a slight tweak of the composition of a shot to adding text or filters to create a dramatically different image. Here are a round up of our favourite programs.

1.     Afterlight – Simple and easy to use, Afterlight allows you to upload a photo and get straight down to editing. It gives you the ability to adjust clarity, brightness, contrast, saturation, exposure and more while also offering over 60 different filters to take the hard work out of perfecting your image.
2.     Aviary – A newcomer to the market, Aviary offers a quick way to edit, customise and even frame your photos in a variety of different ways. It also offers a red-eye corrector and even a teeth-whitening function.
3.     Snapseed – One of the original and simplest programs to use, Snapseed offers a variety of editing tools, filters and the ability to spot repair unappealing aspects of your photos.
4.     PicLab Photo Editor – PicLab allows you to create posters and over-layed images for sharing. Offering features like typography (for adding text to an image), borders, resizing and the option to create a collage, it’s your best bet when feeling creative.
