Hey guys
I was wondering what the best and most complete picture editing app is.
I've used many different apps like snapseed, Pixlr Express, PicSay, PicsArt, etc...
I'd like the app to have a complete set of features and full resolution editing.
Features like remove red-eye, cropping, rotating, effects, overlays, lighting effects, blur, contrast & brightness controls...
Any suggestions are welcome!
Thanks in advance
With those requests, I'd say your best bet is to just use a PC. Photoshop or GIMP maybe.
Can't say I've ever seen an app for a phone that sophisticated. :/
I guess I'll use Pixlr Express since that has the best collection of features I like in an app
Thanks though!
Pixlr looks good. To bad it doesn't have video editing...
I use VSCO app.
You can try using PhotoShop app not the express but the paid version.

Handy photo has a very complete set of tools that should match your requirements.
If you actually want to do serious editing and not useless stuff purely for social media then do it properly with Photoshop on a PC, lol.
ive been using picsay pro now for almost 6 years. when they just started up, it wasnt an editor app, it just wrote stuff on your photos. then a year later they merged with another company and became what it is today. its one of my favorite apps as well, gets a huge amount of use

when youre using your mobile constantly, transfering your photos to your desktop to edit them is a huge hastle. some, like me, dont even own a computer. and many of these photo editing apps are as good, or better than photoshop for the desktop.

You can't really say "better", it's just more convenient/preset-automated for basic things I guess personally I don't really like any mobile image editors and if need to touch something up then I'll do it manually in Photoshop because I have more control
For social media most mobile apps are fine and convenient, but I'm not into that. :angel:

every single one of my images goes through PicSay Pro. better.. yea, i can say that, and less hassle is part of it. remember, better isnt precise, better is what best for me, since i was posting. really, all yoy have to do is properly learn how to use the specific photo editing app, because if you dont know how to use it, its would suck then. anyways, back to desktop Photoshop.. i bet i can do everything that you can do in your desktop photoshop, but ill do it all on my phone.

Maybe for basic stuff like color correction and whatnot. But if you wanted to change an image taken during day to look like the middle of the night, yeah no, good luck with that on a phone. Not the most difficult in Photoshop either but still quite challenging for most. Maybe better for you because of the convenience and ease, but definitely not for me as sometimes I may do complex renders where fine control/tools is needed.

Do it then edit an image where the sun is also visible, change it to a moon, and change the entire atmosphere to be night-like. And accurately enough that one wouldn't think it was edited.

Not too bad
VSCO Cam®. Use Lightroom if you'd be willing to be more dedicated and on a pc.
recently i came across a friend asking for a powerful photo editor that did layers and stuff
another friend suggested Handy Photo..... downloaded the lite version, watched some of the tutorial videos..
after using it, i ended up buying the full version without question,thats how good it is.
i can not believe i never ran into this before... very very powerful editing app,.... its like photoshop and lightroom but just in mobile.
very good for mobile editing. u have to check it out
@simms22 Oh boy did you ever shut me up. I too felt as if mobile editing was yet to be up to par with a desktop editor like Photoshop. But now I learned I'm just not using my phone correctly.
Guys.. try pic say PRO
I think it is the best -in market- ... u can try picsart too

I use the Read It Later extension for Firefox heavily, and have always missed an WM App that would allow me to read the pages I've marked on my phone.
Well, since I've bought the HD2 I've missed this even more...
Now, it seems that the folks that makes RIL released an API so that anyone can make its own app...
There's an official one for the iPhone, a user made for Android... and none for WM.
I've tried to make one myself, but its way beyond my "search and learn with Google" programing skills.
This way, I want ask if someone is interested or is capable of doind a Read It Later App for WM, HD2 customized, using their API.
The site is here: http://readitlaterlist.com/
It would be really nice to have a "Instapaper" like app for WM...
Thanks in advance!
Request seconded.
without looking at exactly what this is. do you mean an offline browser? if so then opera has the function built in.. saved pages

It's not only saved pages...
It's like Instapaper for the iPhone.
You mark a page to read later in RIL Firefox, for example, and then can access the link throught the app in the phone to read it.
The good thing about RIL is that you can mark a page in your desktop and it sincronizes with web, so, as soon as you open RIL in the phone the page is already there.
The advantage here is that you can mark pages to read in multiple PCs (I use in Vista/7 installarion in my notebook as well as XP/7 in my desktop) and still have a unified list.

It is very nice.
ATM i'm using the web version, with the shortcut readitlaterlist.com/unread . When you create an account, this shortcut will lead you directly to the reading list.
Putting Opera zoom in 100%, it fits right in the screen.
But it lacks a lot of features. It is actually just a list of links. You have to manually check read itens, press and hold the link if you want to open in another tab.
What I miss the most is some options to store the pages for future references. Now I have to manually do this... It would be nice if the app allow us to send the pages to another apps...
I hate to bump my own threads, but no one can help me?
Can someone at least tell me what programming language would be easyer to make such an app?

Thanks anyway... I'm kind of resign that this won't be done.
Using the web version. Not perfect, but does the job.
I have not used this application/service before, but it looks interesting.
I have checked the API and it looks very simple to use.
The only thing that remains before starting to code is to have a rough design of the application GUI, just to set a rough scope on the functionalities.
Then I believe it is possible to create an "ugly" but functional application in a few days. I can work on this project if I can manage to allocate some spare time on this.
zefiltrin, I think you know the usage scenarios of this application way better than me, as I have not yet used it. Why not make a few sketches for describing the GUI of the application you want to see on your PPC. I mean the buttons, lists, etc. Then I would try to realize them (again, if I can manage to allocate some spare time on this)

I´ll do that! I'm travelling until april 4th, but will try to do that as soon as I come back.
I think I´ll use some of the screeshots of the existing apps for iPhone and Android.
Thank you for your help!
Well, here are some ideas:
I think the home screen should look like iPhone's Read It Later app:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The list of things to read could be similar to GReader site, with big letters, two or more lines to allow seing the whole title:
In the "Greader-like" list abobe, there shoud be a search bar and the buttons to direclty mark as read or show the text only view, like this:
Finally, it would be great to have the sharing options like iPhone app (don´t know if the API allow that):
Let me know if this helps...
Ok I will spend some time on this tomorrow.
I started working on this project, I call it "Late Reader" for now. Any better name suggestions are welcome. I think I can post a first beta or alpha in a week.

Hi all,
I've just released a new app to Play store for Flickr: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bourke.glimmr
Have put a ton of work into it so would be thrilled for people to check it out and provide some feedback. Any requests for features you'd like to see just let me know!

Nice, I'll definitely check it out.
nice app. much smoother than justpictures (but flickr only). Could you a local storage viewer too
Good work,
cheers !
very nice app!!
i will test very soon.... waht can I say now is that is very smooth....
I have a characters overlay in "my" picture view: my nick is long and is overlay to the number of visit of each picture
Quite possible
Im not a programmer, but I love this app. I was wondering if it would be easy, or possible to port it to SlideshowPro API? Ive seen other apps do this, didnt know if the api was similar. It sure would be nice since nobody is doing this.
I know there are lots of slideshowpro users out there, but nobody seems to want to put a gallery app together.
If you need a test server, I can put one up for you, I would even donate...
Thanks
Very nice but I keep getting a force close everytime I try to view any picture.
I have not used flickr in a long time, but this app makes browsing through your pics simple and easy on my Sprint GS3. :victory:

Congratulations on the Lifehacker mention. Love the layout, but was hoping I'd be able to use the app without setting up a flickr account (or logging in through fb, etc). All I wanted to do was browse photos - so I could run a search for "dog" and sit with my daughter and we could look at all of the dog pictures together.
Any change of that kind of functioanlity being built in?

Thanks dude just saw it this morning I hear you on the needing to log in part, I was actually worried that would put a lot of people off. An anonymous browse section and search functionality are definitely in the pipeline.

Works great on the LTE though. :good:
so far so good! thanks for adding the capability to see contact stream
I found a kind of bug (probably you already know). When you zoom in a picture and slide to right to another, the frame move directly to the other pic and not to the other zoomed part of the picture you're watching ( i hope you understand)
keep on developing this beautiful app
Very nice. Just installed on my Motorola Defy running CM10, works very well.
What would you think about adding an auto-upload feature? Similar to what's available in Dropbox and Google+. I've never come across an app that does auto-upload to Flickr, and would absolutely love to have one.
Great work so far brk3!

Hi!
I apologise, but we can't post the APK here right now.
However, you can find it in the Google play store in two ways:
Go to the google play store and search for "Calculus Interactive App". It should be first app to surface. Look out for our logo, you can't miss it.
Build the url link like so: <google play store domain>/store/apps/details?id=air.com.neumediatechnologies.calculus
You will have to replace the <google play store domain> with the actual Google Play domain.
Get the FREE Lite Edition!
You can now get the FREE Lite edition here
I'm personally in love with calculus and I'd really like to test this app. However, with the requirement of Adobe Air, I'm hesitant.
Sent from my Nexus Prime
Hi!
Thank you for your expressed interest!
A little bit of history, this app was originally a POC project developed on the flash platform, hence the need for Adobe air to run on android.
However, with your continuous support, we will work towards developing native applications in the future.

I really like the idea and think the app is well done. It looks great on my 720p Note 2 screen.
Some suggestions:
1) the title area in each individual 'lesson' is rather big and I believe making it smaller might allow you more room to space out the calculations and other text of the lessons to make everything a bit more readable (hopefully this makes sense).
2) the end of the whole differentiation lesson/concept doesn't bring you back to the main menu or offer any options to go back or continue or anything (or maybe it is a problem that occurred on my phone)?
3) pressing the back button during a lesson or video closes the app, this is somewhat annoying since most other apps i use, bring you back to the previous 'page' or 'menu' or whatever.
One question I have is if you would be able to expand from general calculus to put in some content and how it might relate to business calculus/principles/ideas? This would be very useful for me since I have always struggled with math and have yet to pass the business calculus class...if you need any help with testing or what not let me know, I'd be glad to help!

well they only finished one of the topics shown so far, i imagine it will take a decent amount of more time.
looks great and would have probably bought the paid version but I boycott Adobe ... No Air or even PDF reader on my phones/tablets for me.
Sorry

I've been searching around the forum and cannot seem to find anything pertinent. I'm looking for a SIMPLE app to allow me to just open a jpg or png file, write something on it with the stylus, and then save it. I don't need to filter anything, layer anything, or anything complicated. It would be nice if it could change the color and thickness of the line, but that's all I need.
Does anybody know of anything like this? Tried all the app stores and can't find anything like this under drawing or photo editing.
Thanks

Try free app PicsArt - Photo Studio https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.picsart.studio
Just select DRAW shown in photo and then select your photo, and you can write on the photo. You can just use your handwriting, you can change line thickness and color and the app is about15mb in size.
You have to check out the Text option. You can type a sentence around an object with like 32 fonts to chose from, Very cool.

I actually downloaded another app also called Photo Studio -- there's a bunch of them -- and then found it was the wrong one. Finally found the Picsart one, and it's not bad. Much easier than anything else I've found so far. So far can't find any way to change the thickness or color of the drawing line, but it is easier than all the other ones I've tried.
Seems like a nice simple app to just draw on jpg files would be useful, but everybody wants to write complex apps it seems.
Thanks!

Select the squiggly line above eye dropper on right side for size and the square box on bottom right under the eye dropper to pick color.
Hey, hey!
I did find that squiggly line before but thoughT it was only for effects -- didn't notice that it also applied to regular lines. I would have never found that square box at the bottom right.
Yep -- this will work. THANKS!

I've been using PicsArt - Photo Studio quite a bit for marking up photos last night and this morning, and after exploring many of the options have found it EXCELLENT. Although it has many features that I would never use, for my purposes it has done everything I've asked. Using the stylus is just like writing on an actual photo, but the return function lets you delete mark-ups all the way back to the original photo. The shapes feature is neat, too, because it allows inserting lines, arrows, and boxes in which you can write inside. I would gladly pay for this app, but it's free.
THANKS!
There's also this:
Photo Editor v 2.2.14 ( http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:com.sec.android.mimage.photoretouching )

I had heard of that app -- but I cannot locate it in Google or on the Samsung apps site!

Edit: ok it is missing from the play store. But I did find it on the Samsung store:

Oops, yes I was replying to your post about Photo Editor but forgot to quote the post.
Just searched the Samsung Apps site you linked to, but for the life of me I can't see it there. There is a "Photo Editor" app listed, but it's a paid app and not a Samsung app. Also, the site seems to be specific for Samsung phones, not tablets.
Thanks

Odd. I haven't tried looking for it from my tablet, just my phone.
If you want it, let me know and I'll post it for you (it's a free app).

If you want it said:
Thanks, but it's probably not optimized for tablets and the other app is working so well that I doubt that it could be better.

I've been searching around the forum and cannot seem to find anything pertinent. I'm looking for a SIMPLE app to allow me to just open a jpg or png file, write something on it with the stylus, and then save it. I don't need to filter anything, layer anything, or anything complicated. It would be nice if it could change the color and thickness of the line, but that's all I need.
Does anybody know of anything like this? Tried all the app stores and can't find anything like this under drawing or photo editing.
Thanks

I had looked at S-Note but didn't realize that images could be imported (there's no import command adjacent to the export command). After poking around I found how that could be done, and it does work. But after saving the image ends up embedded within the S-Note page rather than being saved in its original format.
The PicsArt Photo Editor works much better.
Thanks.

I did not actually try and export my test notes, just saved them. I'll try it when I get back home. I'm back on the road and didn't bring my tablet with me as my laptop is also a tablet of sorts.
Thanks!
Hi everyone,
I have recently published a new app called Friend Brush. Using this app you can create collages of smaller photos that look like a single photo when seen from distance (or zoomed out). You can pick your tiles from various sources, namely Facebook, Google+, or your device's gallery. For the big picture, you can either choose from your gallery or simply take a photo with the camera. Below is a sample of what can be done using this app:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I would highly appreciate any feedback, especially on stability and user experience of the app.
Download from Google Play
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=annahid.apps.friendbrush
In case there are some issues in the public release, you can try bleeding-edge beta versions of the app using one of the following options:
OPTION 1:
Become a Google Play beta tester for the app. I have enabled beta testing for XDA Android App Testers Community.
OPTION 2:
Download the testing version from my official website. This version has all the basic features of the app, plus a report button you can use to contact me about a bug.
If you like the app, please make me extremely happy by tipping this to XDA Portal!
Friend Brush has just been updated. Now everyone can choose large tile photos. I also found some bugs in the previous versions and fixed them.

Great, thanks for sharing your work. Really nice idea to honor your friends with being a part of a new picture.
I have uploaded a new version to beta channels. I have tried to fix previous bugs. All the new features of 1.2.x are still in beta and not open to public. So, you can have first-hand access to those features (and help me perfect them). Thanks!
Nice idea and good work! Thanks

Your app is on the portal now: Easily Create a Photo Collage with Friend Brush :highfive:
As I told you, I like this app. Maybe a fantastic birthday present, when you make a big picture of your girlfriend/wife - of course with her on every tile :angel:

Yea, that's really great news. I will try to keep the app fresh through new features. I actually gave out birthday gifts to some of my fiends before I released the app when they asked how'd you do it, I told them about the app.
By the way, thanks for tipping.
Looks nice, gonna try it.
Nice idea but all my photos are on Google+ and I can't access them.

Thanks for the feedback. I will add this feature in the near future. However, the best results are with profile pictures as mosaics.

Thank you for your interest and your idea! Feedback like this helps me understand better what exactly users are looking for. Friend Brush was originally using just friend profile pictures for tiles (hence the name), and using photo albums was a late decision. So that part is still not mature enough. I will think about your idea to incorporate it in a user friendly way. Might not be in the next update, but for sure I will do it in the future. And if you like the app, I would be really glad if you rated it as I'm currently being stormed by haters on Google Play.
Thanks again!

Fantastic App! A few suggestions if I may.
1) I couldn't find anything that show's the full list of Premium features.
2) A little "help" about what the settings do would be useful. Like the random options of none to maximum. I tried both settings with the same brush and picture yet saw no difference.
3) It was not clear where the app was saving the creations or what it was calling them. Option to name them would be good. I plugged the phone in and searched the internal storage for "friends" to find where they were.
4) It would be great to be able to "favourite" the tiles you pick for the brush. In that if 2 tiles have virtually identical colour tags it would choose the 1 you marked higher priority. Although this is ofc a very minor suggestion
5) A bit of a "Tutorial" for want of a better word, more like basic help. As in the recommended number of tiles for the brush to get good results. I had about 200 of my little son and tried to make a creation out of that but the creation picture was poor. It was not really possible to make it out, this is most likely because of the lack of colours the app had available to make the creation because i had too few photo's. A little tip about this might stop people using too few and discarding the app as useless just because they didnt give it a fair shot.
6) Scrolling down the photo's in the creation is very slow (Xperia Z), maybe its possible for it to cache/thumbnail those. I have around 300 pics on my phone but it took a fair amount of time to scroll to pick a creation photo while it was loading them. It processed the brush and creation faster than browsing the album
Please dont take any of that as negativity, just suggestions. The app is absolutely brilliant and truly 1 of a kind!
Thanks
Adam
thanks for this wonderfull app....
one suggestion..when i am viewing the creation on my desktop while zooming the image it's blurred, but on phone its fine..can you have a look into this...

Thank you. How much are you zooming? Tile sizes are limited (32x32 pixels by default). You can set them to twice this size (64x64) by going to Settings. Hope this helps.

Thanks for your comments and your interest! I will answer your questions one by one here:
1) Did you click on "Why?" The button is available on the Google Play version, beside "Go Premium!" on Dashboard
2) There are Help pages about everything in the app. Just hit the menu button and choose Help from overflow menu. You can swipe to the screen you desire. Otherwise go to Settings and choose Help from there.
3) The app saves the creations to Pictures/Friend Brush on your external storage. Naming option can be added in the future.
4) I am thinking of new options for tiles for future updates.
5) Obviously the app can't do magic. 200 photos is a good number if they have diverse color tones. Camera shots normally have very flat range of colors. The app works best with profile pictures of your friends. About 300 profile secures a diverse enough spectrum.
6) I will look into that.
