It is easy to use, but at the same time it offers a powerful collection of tools.

Snapseed is one of the most popular photo editing apps for iPhone, and for good reason. Snapseed: This is an all-purpose photo editor for image enhancements and corrections. There are also free options, such as the open-source powerhouse known as GIMP. Adobe Photoshop is probably the most well-known professional image editor, but it has a price tag that reflects its quality. However, the Photos application barely scratches the surface of what is possible with dedicated image-editing packages, which allow users to do everything from reworking color and brightness levels, filtering something flat to make it look three-dimensional, or merging images together to create a realistic looking snap of a real-world impossibility. Photos is essentially a photo management application, and as such, it offers a nice variety of tools for tweaking digital photos. However, chosen backgrounds are available only on Macs featuring an Intel processor. Since Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard, the Photo Booth application can recognize a still background, then replace it with either a pre-set image (built-in or user-supplied) or movie clip. Once the background is analyzed, the user steps back in front of the camera and is shown in front of the chosen backdrop. When a backdrop is selected, a new message tells the user to step away from the camera. The user can apply backdrops to provide an effect similar to a green screen. Another set of image effects allows users to replace the background with a custom backdrop. The user can download additional effects from various websites. The first set contains photographic filters similar to those used in Adobe Photoshop. In fact, Photo Booth has two sets of image effects. The user can apply special effects while taking a picture by clicking on the “Effects” button. If the user clicks the large red button underneath the preview area, this will take a picture after an optional countdown. This simulates the user looking into a mirror, however there is an option to provide unreversed images. The results can be shown or played by double clicking on the thumbnails.īy default, Photo Booth‘s live preview and captured images are reversed horizontally. Thumbnails of saved photos and videos are displayed along the bottom of the window.
