Best photo editor apps for Android in 2023
These are some of the best photo editor apps for Android that can help you change the way your photos look before you post them online!
All the best smartphones in recent years, like the Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra or the iPhone 14 Pro Max, have made it incredibly easy to capture good photos on the go. You no longer need a professional-grade camera or expensive gear to capture day-to-day moments or even product photography up to a level. Even the best photos, however, can use a little bit of editing sometimes to bring out the details. Not to mention, you can also establish your own style with editing by making the photos look a certain way, so it's an important piece of the puzzle when it comes to photography.
Adobe Lightroom adds camera optimizations for Pixel 6, Galaxy S21, and Z Fold 3
Adobe Lightroom now supports RAW images captured from all of the Pixel 6's cameras, as well as the S21 Ultra's telephoto and others.
Adobe Lightroom is one of the most popular image manipulation tools around, with versions for Windows, macOS, Android, and iOS. One of its most useful features is the ability to use RAW images (as opposed to compressed formats like JPEG) from hundreds of cameras, which requires specific optimizations for each camera. Adobe has now updated Lightroom with support for more cameras, including the Pixel 6.
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom add lens correction profiles for the Huawei P40 Pro, Apple iPhone SE, iPad Pro, and more
Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom add lens correction profiles for the Huawei P40 Pro, Apple iPhone SE, iPad Pro 4th generation, and more.
A number of premium and mid-range smartphones these days feature a Pro mode in the camera app that lets users make manual adjustments to the ISO, shutter speed, white balance, and exposure while capturing images. More often than not, the Pro mode also includes a RAW image capture setting that lets users save captured images as .dng files. While there are many benefits to capturing images in the RAW format, it does have a few drawbacks. For instance, when you capture images in a common format like JPEG, the smartphone can automatically correct geometric distortions or exposure issues in the images. However, when you capture RAW images, these issues aren't fixed automatically. To address this issue, Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom offer device-specific lens correction profiles for several Android smartphones that you can use to quickly correct your images.
Adobe Photoshop Express, Lightroom, and Camera Raw add lens correction profiles for the OnePlus 7T, Huawei Mate 30, and LG G8/V50S
Adobe has added lens correction camera profiles in Photoshop Express, Lightroom for RAW photos on OnePlus 7T, Huawei Mate 30/30 Pro, and LG G8/V50s ThinQ.
Smartphone cameras have witnessed several advancements over the years. Innovations like triple, quadruple, or even quintuple/penta camera arrangements, optical zoom in smartphone cameras, resolution up to 108MP, and most importantly affordable high-resolution 48MP and 64MP camera sensors have allowed many users to renounce or limit their usage of digital point-to-shoot or SLR cameras. For those who prefer taking and editing high-quality and color-accurate images on their phones, several OEMs now allow users to capture RAW quality images from the native Camera apps. Extending support for these users, Adobe has added lens correction profiles in Photoshop, Lightroom, and the Camera Raw plug-in for several Android smartphones including the OnePlus 7T, Huawei Mate 30/30 Pro, LG G8/V50S, etc.
Oddly enough, my first transformative experiences with photography initially transpired through the lens of an HTC Incredible 2, sometime around late 2011. As a nascent technology addict and with the Incredible 2 as my first true smartphone, I was keen to explore the full breadth of its utility and capabilities.
