Most smart phones today have built-in digital cameras, which allow you to take photos that rival what you might have taken with stand alone digital cameras just a few years ago. In addition to taking very nice photos with your phone, you can also edit the pictures you take with your phone without first having to transfer them to your computer to do so. This has dramatically improved the quality of the shots and it saves time on editing especially if you want to share the photo on social media.
Whether you’re looking to do something like simply removing a little red eye or trying to change the background of the image, there are a number of great photo apps out there to help you get the job done right using your phone.
Photos can be made to look like they were edited professionally. there’s also the added benefit that most editors also have built-in integration with your favorite social networks, so you can instantly share your finished masterpiece with the world.
Below are some of the apps that are available for iphone, android and windows phones
