Image Editing Apps

When you want to do something but don’t know which is best

I know there are millions and gazillions of options out there and everyone has a different opinion on what they use and like. I am writing this for the clueless, where I was before I tried a few and found these work well for basic stuff and I am by no means an expert. Let’s just say that now. Here are the three I use more than any others and they are all free or have been to date.White gram is in the image but I rarely use that one at all unless I need to mount an image on a white background.

So the things I do on a regular basis are remove backgrounds, I use Pixelcut for this. It does have in app features and loads of additional functionality you can pay for but if all you want is to remove backgrounds for your website or EBay this works and is very easy.

Pixlr app is more complicated and I use this on my desk top a lot too to change image formats or bulk batch edit. The app is free for what I need and very nifty when it comes to getting your images into a format your website will like better, smaller files easier to load.

The final image editing app I use is Pic Collage. This app I use to collate pictures together, lay them out better, make invitations, posters, add text. Again it is free to use with added features and in app purchases but I have found all I need within the free offering.

I am also writing this snoop by way of saying thank you to the developers who have created these tools and allow us to use them for free. FYI if I needed the additional features I would be happy to pay.

The app I use for creating and editing movies is Power Director; it is not free, I believe I pay about £70 per year. There is a definite learning curve so don’t expect to be Steven Spielberg over night but if you are looking for an idiot proof solution you will master eventually and be pretty impressed with what you have managed to create this is a good option. I have had good results with this app.
