We don’t all have the cash or knowledge for an extravagant
DSLR camera. Luckily, in the age of technology, all you need to create
high-quality photos is a smartphone.
From cropping and filtering to sharing with your network,
these apps are a cost-effective way of taking your photography skills to the
next level. To help you transform your photos, we’ve compiled a list of some of
our favourite photo apps for your phone.
Instagram:
More than just a photo editor, Instagram is actually a
social network. It allows you to crop, filter, saturate and frame your photos
to transform them into something you can be proud of. You can then share your
photos with your network, and comment on and like photos that you’re impressed
with. If you’re looking to branch-out from your network, Instagram allows you
to search for users and hashtags that pique your interest. It is available on
IOS and Android.

Adobe Photoshop
Express:
If you have an interest in photography or design, you’ve no
doubt heard of Adobe’s highly successful photo editing and design tool,
Photoshop. A free version of the software is now available for IOS and Android.
The app is basic, but allows you to apply quick changes to your photos
including editing exposure and shadows, and applying filters. If you want more
out of the app, you can upgrade to Adobe Photoshop touch for $9.99.

VSCO Cam:
Available on IOS and Android, VSCO has a great reputation
among budding photographers. The app will let you take photos through different
grids and allows you to alter the white-balance (this affects the colours in
your photo). After you’ve taken the photo you’re then able to crop, sharpen and
alter exposure and saturation. Although it
offers a range of useful tools, I didn’t find this one particularly
user-friendly.

Snapseed:
Last but not least, Snapseed is a powerful app with a simple
user-interface. It offers the usual editing features including changing
brightness, exposure and saturation, plus some very attractive filters. This
app is very easy to use, and allows you to edit your photos by swiping right or
left.
