7 Incredible Photo Editing Tricks for Android

If you heavily use phone cameras, you must know that phone photography is no longer just about capturing the right light, angle, or moment. It’s also about giving the perfect finishing touches after capturing a frame.

Thanks to the many Android apps available on the Play Store, achieving trendy photo effects is now easier, even without the necessary hardware. Most of these apps require minimal effort. Today, let’s explore the top apps for amazing photo-editing on Android.

1. Get the Right Amount of Background Blur

Portrait mode or Bokeh effect is one of the latest sensations in the camera world. The background blurring while the object in the front remains in sharp focus truly makes a photograph stand out.

The app that can help us achieve this effect is Fabby. A new app, Fabby is featured in several of our articles and is highly recommended.

Fabby is a powerful image-editing tool with a key strength in its blur option. Simply select a photo from your gallery, apply the effect, save it, and voila! Your new portrait is ready to be shared and admired. Fabby offers three blur effects to choose from: min, medium, and max. While the first two options provide appealing bokeh effects, the max mode tends to be excessive.

2. Push the Limits With Motion Blur

Ever wanted to show a still object in motion? In 2018, it’s possible with the Bluristic app. This app tracks objects in real-time and gives them a long exposure, creating a background blur.

To use this app, tap the object of your focus and then slowly move your phone in any direction. The result is a motion blur. Bluristic is easy to use and costs Rs 180 ($2.78).

3. Remove Unwanted Objects

Wires can detract from the charm of pictures. Recently, I attempted to capture buildings in our area, but the crisscrossing wires distorted the frame.

Besides, wires can distort a frame. Many times, you’ll find unwanted objects in your frame like shadows, road signs, etc. Our advice? Capture the shot and remove the objects later.

The app of the hour is PhotoDirector, an overall photo-editing package with many editing tools.

To remove an object from the background, select Removal and choose the brush. Then, tap on the area you want to touch up and click Apply.

PhotoDirector can clone and replace a selected area with a matching background. Simply click on Save to obtain a flawless photo.

4. Give a Makeover to Images

Almost all phones today come with beauty mode. However, these built-in filters often overdo the effects and have limited features.

The app for giving a picture a true makeover is Toolwiz Photos. Its Pro Editing mode has features like face slimming, soft glow, and teeth whitening.

This app is particularly useful for touch-ups on head shots or close-ups.

Providing the overall finishing touch-ups to pictures relies on built-in tools like Smart HDR, Smart soft Focus, and Enhance. These tools allow you to enhance the picture quality by adjusting the settings.

5. Throw in the Right Color

A colored picture and a grayscale picture tell two different stories. But what if we combine them? Introducing Color Splash. Color Splashing highlights the primary object with a splash of color while the rest of the picture is black-and-white.

The app that rises to the occasion is PhotoDirector. It allows you to add color to a grayscale image and change the color of your original object.

Choose a picture and tap on Splash. Pick the color you want to highlight and slide the slider left until you achieve the desired look. The splash value is usually low, around 0 to 25. Afterwards, you can change the color by tapping on the Color Shift icon.

6. Boring Background? Remove it

Imagine a background full of cats for your new Facebook display pictures. Fabby comes to the rescue with its crazy features.

This app offers a selection of built-in backgrounds or the option to upload a custom background. It automatically replaces the recognized object with your chosen background.

7. Stabilize Videos

Trust Google Photos to take care of your wobbly videos. With a built-in stabilizing mechanism, Google Photos can eliminate shakes and make your videos more stable and smooth.

To make your video stable, open it in Google Photos and tap the Edit icon at the bottom. You will see two options: Stabilise and Rotate. Select Stabilise to start the process. This might take some time, but once it’s done, you can save the stabilized video.

All Ready?

These are some tricks for enhancing an image after it has been taken. These apps can be used for more than just editing one image. Simply choose the right tool, and soon others will notice your photography skills. My current favorite is Toolwiz.
