Top 10 Professional Image Editing Apps for Android (and 10 worthy mentions)
 

If you’ve looked for a list of the top image editing apps for Android lately you’ve probably been disappointed. Fact is, most of these lists are outdated (literally years old) or crowd sourced and feature mediocre apps at best. Well today’s Darkroom Tutorial aims to change that.

DroidEdit member/writer Jacob Dix has compiled a comprehensive list of 10 “must have” Android editing apps as well as 10 “worthy mentions”.

So how is this list different than the rest? Jacob is an active Mobile Photographer who has selected these apps with a focus on their professional editing tools, output resolution and overall quality. This list is compiled from the perspective of a mobile artist…not a blogger.
 

Read the FULL TUTORIAL where Jacob (@jacob606) shares his top 10 MUST HAVE image editing apps for Android.
 

AMPt and DroidEdit will be collaborating on Darkroom Tutorials the entire month of December so check back for both Android and iPhone related articles every Monday & Tuesday @ ampteam.org/darkroom.

AMPt Darkroom - Using Points of View to Create More Interesting Images

Your point of view can either work for or against you while shooting. While there are, of course, many things to take into account when making a photo (placement, lighting, background, etc.) there’s no doubt that point of view can play a huge part in making an image stand out from the rest.


Read the FULL LESSON where Anna shows us some of the ways you can create more interesting images just by changing your point of view.
