Now I'm going to show you how I edit my phone photos using just my phone
specifically on how to remove people from your travel photos and also how to
add special effects like rainbows really pretty sunset sky everything is
completely free they're available for Android and iPhone may be sure to check
beforehand and I'll have it all linked down below
hey guys its Ali here in the present editing the video be sure to click and
watch back to anything that you're confused about and leave me any comments
down below
when it comes to editing photos my favorite apps are Snapseed I also love
color story if you want that light and bright effect
I love quick shot for special effects I've also been obsessed with story Lux
which is a story editing app where you can add different frames and that
scrapbook look to your photos and videos another favor of Mines edit videos is in
shot you do have to pay to remove some of the ads and things like that but
definitely worth investing in if you just use your phone to edit photos and
videos the number one most asked question in my last video is Ali how do
you remove people from photos or objects and things like that in my last video I
asked you to send me a photo that can edit for my next video and you sent me
one from the bamboo forest in Kyoto and I recently just went to Japan as well if
you don't know the area it is super touristy and crowded there are so many
people there it's almost nearly impossible to get photos by yourself
today I'm going to show you how I remove other tourists from my travel photo
while I was in the bamboo forest in Kyoto so I went to Japan I had such a
fun time when we find the photo I know I take too many I've like thousands of
photos right here my number one most frequently asked question in my last
video is Ali how do I remove people and objects for my photos so for example
today I'm showing you how to remove these people from my tourist photo when
I went to the bamboo forest in Japan he's gonna dust that rotate he'll try to
automatically strain the image but don't want to do that and then we will go back
to zero and then here I'll click check and
I'll save a copy of this and then I will undo what I just did and then I will go
first and do double exposure add image and then as you can see it's overlaid
turn the opacity up to 100% go over to this undo button and new edits click on
double exposure and then here I'm going to click 100% on the left side and as
you can see I'm already adding it let me zoom in here and adding in this new part
of the bamboo forest that wasn't there before
so you can definitely go back and then leave this part of the tree I actually
don't like it very much I think it's kind of ugly and in the way
so then I'm just going to erase erase and then as you can see this man is
appearing I'm just going to leave him as it is you race ad side
my second favorite app is quick shot I've been loving it lately for all of my
special effects I add to my photos for Instagram so for example let me go up
and grab this one flower photo that I took so I took this photo when I went to
a flower field here in San Francisco I am obsessed with this photo I love the
yellow flower field but the sky unfortunately was looking super dark and
gray here click on the sky button and then I love suo 4 and that is how you
get that kind of dreamy purplish sky look and then here you can also adjust
the sky where you want it by the way this is completely free you don't have
to pay anything for it but you can there are some optional added filters so here
you can also click on this eraser button and then you can erase parts of the sky
that you don't want if you want to add it back
you can go like that and then if you click on it again you can click random
and I'll kind of change up some of the different skies that are here to choose
one that matches the scenery the best you can also change the opacity of the
sky like maybe it's too intense for you and you just want something lighter you
can change the ambiance if you want it like creamier or lighter or darker up to
you that's pretty much how I add and change the sky and some of my photos
because I really love the look of sunset photos but sometimes it's just
unrealistic or the day that I went the weather was bad and this is how you
could definitely change up some of your old travel photos or photos where the
sky is not looking so hot into a nice beautiful sunny day
my next example is another flower filled photo I love this one I shot it in Santa
Cruz with my friend Christina so here what I thought was missing was some like
cloud action or just something in the sky it was just looking very plain so
here I'm going to go into the overlay section and I'm going to add a rainbow
you can also increase the intensity you can also pinch to zoom you can also
bring it up bring it down whatever you think looks the most realistic for you
go for that I think for this one I ended up kind of turning it off to the side
I felt that looked a lot more realistic than something like a straight on
rainbow and then you can go back you can also click on the filter section to
change out the love I think wmo 4 looks pretty good you could lower its opacity
further and maybe if you want to play off the different primers that's fun too
but I think it looks really cool as is it just looks very whimsical we add a
rainbow in because solo parts actually capture it in real life so that is how I
add rainbows next I'm going to show you how I upgrade my selfie photos because
we all love a good selfie and sometimes it's just nice to upgrade them so I'm
going to go onto my camera roll I really like this one but I don't like that
there are shoes showing on the left side of the photo so I'm going to actually
take this one into then fill it up let's bring it into quick shot as you can see
here is the final photo that I ended up with and I'll show you how I got there
so here is the first initial photo I'm going to go and crop it the ratio is 5
by 4 for Instagram let's bring it in a little closer I know the tag is showing
on this dress but that's fine let's bring it even closer I was just trying
it on in the store to see if I would like it or not ok click back back and
then next I'm going to add an overlay I think I'll go with this es o 8 I really
love that kind of soft very light look as you can see it's like kind of hazy
around me and then I'll go back and then I'll add a filter to this um I'm really
loving this WM o 4 it has this like light vintage II look and that's pretty
much it here's the before and here's the after quite subtle but a great way to
upgrade those portrait style photos next I'm going to show you how I fixed up
this yellow photo right here I've been obsessed with monochromatic outfits and
what I love most about this is the fact that I matched the wall and the garage
door so first I'm going to bring this into Snapseed so now that I have into
snap see if I'll first click on tools' and then I will adjust the s-curve so
bring it up at the top just a little bit if you bring down the bottom it's more
contrasty you can bring it up I'm just going to bring it down a little bit so
the trick here is to click on the perspective button and then we're going
to straighten out the garage door so be careful with this because it could
definitely go wrong and you can definitely warp yourself as you can see
on the edges of this photo it's already getting a little bit messy so you could
bring it in a bit but don't worry we can fix that later on so click on the check
button in San Francisco there's tons of hills which is why it looks the way it
does no joke I've actually had a campaign
where Aaron got upset with me because they thought I took the photo crooked
but honestly there's just hills everywhere next I'm going to go into the
healing tool and then I'll get rid of the top section and I'll make it blend
in more of the yellow and then last but not least I'll go into the grainy film
section and then I'll add on my favorite filter which is usually a zero button
and then I'll turn the grain all the way down and here's a before and after and
that is pretty much how I brighten and kind of fine-tune an image in case a
slightly crooked or distorted so I hope you guys enjoy today's video if you did
