Photo Editor

Review about Photo Editor app

Photo editor clearly surpasses all other general photo editing apps tested in terms of professional quality and control and it is believed to be the closest to a Photoshop CC for mobile phones. Photo editor is not for the casual users, but for people who are serious about photography, who want or need to spend time developing the best possible version image while on the go. It has a full set of top-level editing tools like selective edit brushes and a nice collection of film-related filters such as retrolux, new double exposure and lens blur.

The latest 2.17 version is available on apkjungle.com for Android users. It supports these file types: DNG (on Android), over 140 RAW formats, JPEG etc. There are varied sharing options available. It shares easily to installed apps, such as Facebook and Instagram as well as email and texting.

Photo editor can be not only fun but also by for professional photographers. We enjoyed using the application, just wandering through the provided range of exposure, reshaping tools, brushes, filters, and colors as we experimented with different settings available in the app. As the editing is nondestructive, you can always check the stack that is the layers of edits and adjust any edit including correcting misspelled text. You can also use a stacks brush to apply an effect to only a portion of your picture. For example, if you use a Black and White filter on your entire picture, in the stack you can paint back all or a percentage of the color in specific areas, which is a great advantage.

You get the option to save the stack of edits you have applied to a picture as a look, which can also be applied to other photos and shared with other potential users. This is a huge advantage when you have a series of photographs, clicked at the same time under similar or identical conditions. But it can also be useful when you have mastered a creative style that you will use again.

Photo editor continues to add new features in the photo tools. Generally, they are quite useful and effective, such as the new curves exposure dialog and picture stabilization. Though we experienced mixed results with the new expand tool which enlarges a picture by filling space on new outer edges. The only problem with the expansion tool is that it cannot invent data it does not already have.
