What Photo editing app do you recommend? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

All the ones i've tried are crappy, ads-infested and have horrendous ui, Pixart, Pixlr, Retrica and a whole bunch of others. Also looking for one that can let upload photos on instagram without cropping. Please help.

Download all the effects it's free until 2/1 and so far I'm pretty satisfied with this app

Camera360 is also nice.
I do use PicsArt, Pixlr, Retrica as well. I use whatever suits me at the time. [emoji14] PicsArt's UI I hate. Pixlr's UI is pretty straight forward, to me anyways.

Snapseed, shift

VSCO Cam. It's like Adobe Lightroom on a phone.

Aviary

Aviary is usually my go to app for editing. They are offering every filter for free for a limited time.

By far my favorite app

Picsay pro contains many useful tools for editing pictures but some of its algorithms are olds and not very efficient. I use it with snapseed HDR+ algorithm and Photoshop Express "defog", "noise reduction" and "details" algorithms.

Snapseed is my go to. I'll try out others and always end up going back to SS.

Gallery zoom: Poor detail

The Gallery app on our phone doesn't increase the detail of images after you pinch to zoom. Does anyone know of a way to fix this or a different gallery app that will do this properly?
If you view pictures directly from the camera app, it shows the full resolution of the photo when you zoom in (but its slow to pinch to zoom). If you do it from the gallery app, it just scales a lower resolution rendering of the photo to fit the screen, but it doesn't actually re-render the image at full resolution (but its very smooth). I'm looking for something that works like the iPhone's gallery app, which scales as you zoom so that the interface is smooth, but once you stop at a certain zoom level, it re-renders the image in a higher resolution (aka best of both worlds).
Just curious, which rom are you running?
I'm running JI6 Froyo. I noticed the same issue on JH7 as well...
It would appear he is correct! Even on a 5MP picture of the underside of my car, I can't get any more detail then I do looking at it normally.
I experience the same thing; my gallery also takes its sweet time to notice new images from downloads or edits in Photoshop. I suspect most of these anomolies are due to the beta Froyo I've been running since it was leaked.
Gallery just sucks , it always had crappy zoomed quality with no details , Be it my Nexus one with eclair -> froyo to Cappy eclair -> froyo.
Its as if your watching thumbnails and not actual pictures.
There was modified gallery a while ago in Nexus one forums not sure if its still around, supposed to be better then default one.

Dunno why camera shots are coming out low res (I'd imagine that it's just the gallery program that sucks), but downloaded photos on JI6 are automatically resized to 305x203.
I actually remember reading some article a while back that talked about this issue (the gallery being low-res), and mentioning that this is by design. Apparently the developers decided that UI speed is more important than photo quality. I wish I still had the url to that article..
Also, forget searching for 'gallery' in the market. All the search results are retarded wallpaper/mostly naked girl spam. I wish spamming the market with valueless programs was a hangable offense.
Have you guys tried the apk from HERE? I have it loaded and while it does load alot slower it does seem to be higher res. Give it a shot, You will have to copy over the current APK in system/app with something like Root Explorer, or uninstall the gallery then try to install. I could not get it to install but coping worked great
I also remember reading an article that explained that the Gallery purposefully did not display images in their native resolution.
There is a free application in the Market called, "Floating Image" that will display images from any folder of your choosing as well as Flickr, Picase and Facebook in a floating collage of pictures. You can then tap on one and use multitouch to zoom in on the photo in it's full resolution.
I use it to display my camera roll as it allows me to see my photos in much more detail as opposed to the built in Gallery that I can't stand. The only issues that I have with it are that it stutters a little bit when using the high resolution thumbnail option and that it cannot see hidden folders.
I think the gallery is opengl-based and it treats photos as textures, which are limited to 1024x1024 res.
If you don't mind losing the 3d effects, download an app called JustPictures!. It's now my default photo viewer. You can double-tap to zoom to actual size or pinch-zoom. It's fast and free.
Bonus: slideshow live wallpaper
Did some searching and found an article that talks about the issue:
http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2362605,00.asp
Apparently Google chose the cool 3d gallery instead of better image quality. Its clear to me why lowering the image quality is wroth it for making things smooth, but I don't know why the app can't render more detail after you zoom in. Anyway, JustPictures! works pretty good and does show better details. Its a bit slower (and the stock gallery isn't particularly fast), but it gets the job done. I wonder if JustPictures! is the best solution out there or if there are other apps worth checking out as well...
Previous posters are correct that the lower image quality is part of how the program was built. However, there is an article on this site that has a link to the HTC gallery version which can improve the quality, but still is not truly 1 to 1 quality, jest better than stock.

I love this camera app: CameraAce!

I’ve used plenty of different photo apps in the past but CameraAce easily trumps them with its thoughtful user interface and feature set. In addition to having excellent filters and frames, CameraAce includes a full-fledged editing suite, collage and slideshow composer, and photo management and organization tools. I can do everything from a simple HDR effect to a Facebook cover photo collage.

Best camera apps for Android - VSCO Cam

VSCO Cam isn't the most user-friendly camera on our list. Despite its often minimal layout, it takes a while just to learn which menu you're in. But it is one of the best Android camera apps thanks to the amount of customization it offers, and the quality of its adjustments. And this camera has high resolution system, which makes your photo awesome. VSCO Cam combines a camera with editing and sharing functions to provide an Instagram-like experience, only more powerful. While it doesn't house a one-click "beautify" option, it more than makes up for it with its premium temperature, tint, contrast and sharpen gauges.

Hey, from my personal experience I can tell you that Alight Motion app is the best video edition apk for your android device. Most of the video editing apk on the market now are heavy and not specially designed for android. But Alight Motion is a very handy, lightweight tool. You can just select a video from your phone's gallery and start editing. It will take very little time to complete editing.
