With social media growing, networks such as Twitter and Instagram have a higher demand for photos. This means people will want to edit those photos to make them look more presentable.
Before Instagram, Twitter, and many other social media sites became popular, photo editing was mainly for the professionals. Now that more people have iPhones, iPods, or some other form of iSomething, more want to share photos their photos, which creates a demand for photo editing apps.
Let’s be real, no one wants to put a picture out there and have it look bad. There are hundreds of apps for editing photos, but a few popular apps work best for the majority.
These four apps are very popular amongst Instagrammers, and also people who just like to make their photos look a little more interesting.
Afterlight: $0.99
This is one of the most popular editing apps right now. Afterlight has many qualities that make it a popular photo editor. Instead of just picking one filter, you can adjust many different photo components such as the brightness, contrast, and saturation. You can also select from many different color filters to enhance your photo further, and you can also add a light leak to make it look unique. This app also has an array of frames to choose from, ranging from a classic circle to funky shapes like stars.
Lo-Mob: $1.99
Lo-mob is great if you like to change up your pictures but don’t feel that you have the creative ability to change it all on your own. This app has set filters to choose from. Most of them are vintage-looking, so if you want to make your pictures look old and retro, lo-mob is the way to go.
Camera Bag: $1.99
Camera Bag is similar to Lo-mob in the sense that you don’t get to edit your pictures, and instead you just choose a filter. A few of these filters are also vintage inspired, but there are also very unique ones that no other app has. For many of the filters, you can change the color of them by double tapping the photo.
Over: $1.99
In Over, you choose a picture that you’ve already taken, and instead of editing it, you add typography to it. There are many different font styles, and you can change the color and size of the font as well. It is a very artistic app that many people use to express their thoughts on photos.
