Since the integration of the digital camera and the cellular telephone, more and more people are taking pictures everywhere they go. Traditionally to edit these pictures you would have to use Photoshop on a desktop computer but since the introduction of sophisticated Android powered smartphones, users can do this on the go.
There are various situations where we would like to edit a picture taken on our mobile device. Sometimes when we take a picture during a party we might want to crop the stranger popping up in the background. Also, if we take pictures during the night with minimal amounts of lights we may want to tweak the contrast. The following are several photo editing apps available for the Android platform.
PicSay
The first Android photo editing app on the list is PicSay. This app allows users to crop images fix colors and even add word balloons with dialogue to a picture. Another cool feature for this app is that you can even add special effects to your pictures to make them more interesting. More sophisticated and technical effects such as color splashes and cross-processing can be done using PicSay.
FxCamera
The next picture editing app for the Android is the FxCamera app. This app is very interesting since it allows users to edit their pictures with cool and fun effects. It features several fun effects including the SymmetriCam, Fisheye, Warhol, Polandroid, Toycam and many more. This app is similar to several iPhone camera apps such as PhotoBox, Picoli, or CameraBag.
Photoshop.com Mobile
Another useful Android app for photo editing is Photoshop Mobile. We all know that Photoshop is the industry standard for picture editing and now this application is available for mobile smartphones. This app allows users to adjust color, crop or rotate pictures and even apply various effects. Sadly, the Photoshop mobile app is not as powerful as the desktop version since it lacks various visual effects and some photo filters plus this app can cause our handset to lag a bit.
Vignette
Another useful app for the Android is the Vignette app. This fun app adds film and flash effects to the camera of your Android handset. This app has several features including zoom, self timer, crop features and 15 frames. Vignette also gives users a choice of 46 effects which includes tilt shift, cross processing, Polaroid effects, ToyCam filters and Lomo.
Finger Paint
Next on the list is Finger Paint which is an Android app version of MS Paint. Users can draw and color over their pictures using a touchscreen interface. Users will have lots of fun editing and painting over their pictures plus you can share the end results with your friends and family.
