View someone's Screen Remotely on Mac

One really easy way to view someone else’s screen or even control their Mac over the internet which is invaluable if you’re trying to help a relative troubleshoot their computer problems, is to launch Screen Sharing by searching for it with Spotlight then entering the Apple ID of the person you’re trying to contact.

If you or they don’t know it, just have them look in the iCloud pane of System Preferences. And, while you’re in that screen, make sure they have Screen Sharing enabled in the Sharing pane of System Preferences.

They'll be asked to grant you permission to view their screen, and they can also then click on the screen sharing icon in the menu bar and grant you the ability to virtually, remotely control their mouse and keyboard too.

Google Snapseed Review - Photo Editor

Google Snapseed might have come pre-installed on your Android phone, but if not, it's well worth installing because it's one of the most powerful photo editors in the Google Play Store and it's completely free. Not only does Snapseed offer all the essential tools for cropping, rotating, and adjusting brightness and contrast in your photos, it's also packed with more advanced options that you'd normally expect to find in desktop photo editors. There's a dehazing tool for removing fog, smart noise reduction (great for photos taken in low light), perspective correction, selective blurring, a healing tool for correcting blemishes, and lots more. You'll need to log in using Google, Facebook or an Adobe ID, but none of Snapseed's tools are hidden behind a paywall. It's a full digital darkroom in your pocket.

Prisma Photo Editor Review

You may be understandably skeptical about apps that claim to replicate artistic styles, and it makes sense, the 'traditional media' filters included many android photo  editors are downright terrible. Prismais the exception, and once you’ve tried it, we think you’ll be convinced. Take your pick from a selection of different drawing styles and your photo will be transformed into a surprisingly convincing illustration.  Sliding your finger over the filtered image will blend it into your original photo , and you can tweak each filter to suit your picture, adjusting the vignette, vibrance, saturation, color temperature and more. Although additional filters are available as in-app purchases (these are marked with a padlock), there’s a generous selection included free of charge. You can share your creations on a special Prisma feed, which works in a similar way to Instagram, save it to your device, send it via messaging or email, or share it on any social media app.

Some options are exclusive to the paid-for version of the app, but there's a huge selection of tools, graphics, templates and effects available free. Best of all, everything is fully customizable. Just tap an element to change its color, size and style. You'll occasionally see ads for the premium version of Canva, but you can dismiss these if you'd rather not upgrade.
