VSCO Photo Editor Review

VSCO is like a more advanced version of Instagram, it has a community feature that lets you follow other VSCO photographers.

You can search for contacts and Facebook friends to follow, but since it’s a relatively niche app, you might not know many other users.

VSCO offers all of the tools that you’d expect from a high quality Android photo editing app, including exposure, contrast and temperature correction, as well as a very useful alignment tool for straightening horizons.

There are also fade settings, and tools for skewing your image and adjusting tints.

The selection of ambient filters isn’t huge, but the ones provided are very atmospheric and are adjustable via a simple slider.

Once you’re done, you can share your image with VSCO’s community, send it straight to Facebook, or share it via any social networking or messaging app.

The only disadvantage is that you can’t simply save an edited photo to your device; instead, you have to email it to yourself or save it to a cloud storage service.

Do Unit Conversions in Spotlight on Mac

So, everyone knows that you can do basic calculations in Spotlight, but beginning with macOS High Sierra, you can take that a step further: unit conversions. You can do specific unit conversions if the need arises, say, “13 stone in pounds” but, you can also just type in the amount and unit you want to convert, and your Mac will suggest not just the likely conversion, but also a handful of alternatives. Type in '$1299' and you'll immediately be told what that is in pounds Sterling (based presumably on what's set as your native currency in the Language & Region pane of System Preferences), and then when the window folds down to show more results, you'll see Euros, Yen and so on.

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.

Canva Photo Editor Review

Canva photo editor  is a particularly good choice if you're planning to share photos from your Android phone on social media, with filters and effects that will really make your images shine. The app can automatically crop photos to the correct dimensions for Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and others, and there are tons of templates to choose from and personalize with your own pictures and text. 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.
