If you have been spending hours online looking for an online picture editor, it's time to stop. There are free picture editors out there, but are they worth the time spent? One simple Google search will show a myriad of potential online picture editing programs. With hundreds of choices to choose from, can you really do the heavy-duty research that's required to make sure you find the right photo editor?
The first thing you should do is determine whether you are going to use an online web app or an online program like Windows Live Photo. Both have their pros and cons, so in essence it comes down to what suits your needs and style better. Personally, I tend to use the online apps because they are easier to use interface. They also offer some extra features that are not available with the free web apps. For example, some of the paid online photo editors include advanced editing features.
Once you have decided on which type of photo editing app you're going to use, the next step is to figure out which professional photo editing tools are essential for your editing tasks. Many professional photographers use the built-in image editing tools within the built-in Windows Live Photo application. However, many users prefer the more flexible functionality offered by the professional photo editors.
Many free online photo editors come with both a standard set of photo editing tools as well as a number of pre-installed templates that you can use in a wide variety of situations. While the free templates may work fine for most casual photo editing, if you need something more professional you will have to pay for the template that best fits your needs. Many professional photo editors offer both standard and premium templates for download at no cost.
Another important consideration when choosing an online editor is its capability to fix common problems like red-eye, poor lighting and uneven tones. Professional photo editors that offer a comprehensive range of professional tools and filters and a full database of high-quality photos also offer advanced options such as 4-tap retouching and advanced image processing options. Some photo editors have been designed to be very flexible; they allow users to import images from different locations and create different effects or merge multiple photos into one image. Many of these editors offer users various options for adjusting colors, contrast and brightness. This enables you to customize the final result depending on your preferences.
There are some basic picture editing apps that you can download for free from the internet. These apps are okay if you're only looking to fix minor problems on the fly. However, if you want advanced features and flexibility, then these apps are really good editing apps. They include tools for eliminating red-eye, noise reduction, dodging, blurring and color corrections.
The third category includes the apps that offer design tools as well as professional photo editing solutions. Apple's iPad has some amazing, high-quality photo editing tools including red-eye removal, adjust contrast, crop and rotate, sharpen image, remove red eye, and apply filters to your photos. There are many other iPad apps in the market including a collage maker, a photo journal, and a magic lamp.
If you need to create unique photo books, create simple photo albums or want to share your photos with family and friends, an online editing app that offers a collage maker, advanced image processing options and high-quality graphics and text is a must-have. One such service is inkjive. Inkjive is an excellent collage maker that allows you to easily edit, resize or combine pictures using a variety of tools. You can even upload your own images and start creating unique photo books in just a few minutes.
