- Today I'm gonna show you three
of my favorite photo editing apps
and give you a little walk-through in each one
so you can get an idea of what it can do.
And if your favorite app did not make the list,
be sure to leave a comment below
and let me and everybody else know what that app is
so we can check them out.
My name is Dee Nimmin and you're watching
The Master Your Mobile video series.
And the first app we're gonna talk about today
is called Touch Retouch.
And if you haven't seen this app yet,
prepare to have your mind blown.
It's basically a clone app
that can remove pretty much anything from your photo.
So let's open it up and get started.
So when you open up Retouch you wanna go to Albums
and open up the photo that you wanna work on.
And this is my girlfriend posing in the middle of Iceland.
So we're gonna remove...
Don't tell her, but we're gonna remove her
from this picture.
So what you wanna do is go down to the Object Removal.
You wanna tap on that and just tap your finger on here
and it's gonna open the little circle on here on the top.
It's gonna zoom in and show you exactly
what your finger is going over.
So you're just gonna trace what you wanna erase.
Real easy.
Make sure you get everything in there.
And when you have it completely outlined and covered in,
just simply hit go and poof, it's gone!
Just like that.
How cool is that, right?
So up here second to the right,
you're gonna see the little toggle switch
to show you what it looked like before.
So you can go back and forth to see exactly
what you took away and if that works for you.
And if that's what you like,
go up here in the far right, tap Export
and you can Save a Copy, Modify Original,
send it to Instagram, Facebook, Twitter,
whatever you wanna do.
You can also tap on Settings and choose the format,
and the size and the quality,
that you wanna export it at.
So I'm gonna export this at max quality
and then I'm gonna save a copy.
And it's finished.
No more girlfriend.
(gasp)
Okay the second app we're gonna go over today
is a really simple app called Lens Distortions.
It's basically an app that allows you to add layers
or light hits or light particles,
snow or rain or glass fragmentations on top of your picture.
It's a really cool app that can add just small tweaks
to your image that can make all the difference.
So when you open up Lens Distortions
you're gonna choose your picture.
Now I'm gonna choose this picture right here.
There's nothing wrong with this picture
and I would be perfectly content to use this picture as is,
however I wanna add just a little bit of color to it.
We were out in the daylight and you can see
the sun is hitting her face a little bit,
but you really don't see the sun anywhere in the picture.
So what I'm gonna do is come down to Light Hits.
I'm gonna pick a orange glow,
which is pretty much the sun.
I'm gonna tap on that and you see how it instantly lays
on top of the image.
And I can put my finger down and just move it
wherever I want it to go.
So for this one I'm gonna move it
over to the side just like that
and give the buildings and her face some color.
I'm also gonna go into Opacity.
I'm gonna knock the opacity down just a little bit.
I don't want too much.
All I wanna do is just add a little bit of color to this.
So then I wanna add another layer.
So you go over here to the left.
Tap Add Layer.
And you can go down and you can find something else.
Now I'm gonna add something
that doesn't work for this photo,
but I'm gonna show you how it works.
So I'm gonna add fog.
Boom! And there's some fog.
I can bring it down.
I can move it around.
Change the opacity.
I can add blur to it and so on.
Now if I don't want the fog,
all I have to do is swipe it to the left and hit Remove.
Now if I do that,
I need to go back and hit Add Layer again
or it's gonna delete the light hit
when I add the next effect.
So for the next effect I'm gonna go down
and get some light particles.
That's called Shimmer.
So let's put a shimmer on there.
As you can see the light particles pop right up
and I'm gonna knock the opacity down on those as well.
Now like I said this photo was fine,
but I just wanted to add a little oomph to it.
I wanted to add a little pizzazz to the picture.
This may or may not work for you,
but this is what I'm gonna do for the sake of this tutorial.
And then when I want to save it,
all I have to do is go to the top right hand corner
and then choose where I want to save it.
I'm just gonna save the image.
Image saved.
There you go.
And that's what Lens Distortion does.
As you can see it's super simple and it's free
so download it and play with it.
You don't need the paid add-ons that it comes with.
What it actually comes with is plenty to work with,
but it's a lot of fun to really spice up your pictures.
Now the next app we're gonna work with is
the end-all be-all photo editing app
and that's Adobe Lightroom.
If you're not familiar with Adobe Lightroom,
it literally does everything.
You can manipulate your picture
any way you want in Adobe Lightroom.
And I can't possibly go over all the features in this video,
but I am gonna go over a couple.
So let's open it up and have a look at Adobe Lightroom.
So when you open up Adobe Lightroom,
you can choose an image that you've already worked on,
or you can go into your Camera Roll or Album
and choose something new.
So when the photo load you're gonna see a lot of options
down here on the bottom.
So one of the first things you might wanna do
is come over here to Presets.
Now Presets is gonna walk you through the filters
that are built inside of Adobe Lightroom.
I'm just gonna walk through a few of them here
so you can see some of the differences.
Now the filters are really nice in here
and they give you a lot of options,
but you can also adjust everything manually.
And you can also adjust it manually
based on what the filter does.
So whatever we choose for the filter,
we can go back in and adjust from there.
And if you wanna see what it looks like without the filter,
simply press down and hold the photo
and it will show the original.
For this photo I'm gonna choose High Contrast.
And I'm gonna hit the check mark on the bottom right.
Next thing I'm gonna do is go to Light.
And here you can set the exposure,
contrast, highlights, shadows, whites, or blacks.
Now these are the settings that Preset added
when I selected it.
So I'm gonna go through and I'm gonna back off the contrast
just a little bit.
Then I'm gonna go over to Color.
As you can see, you can see Temperature,
Tint, Vibrance, Saturation, and so on.
I'm gonna add a little bit more saturation.
I want that blue sky to pop.
You can also go in to the Mix
and you can choose individual colors.
So, for example, the backpack is orange.
So let's tap on orange
and I'm gonna add some saturation
and some luminance to that backpack
to really make it stand out.
This is without the effects.
This is with the effects.
And you can go through each color individually
and tweak each one.
But I'm happy with that.
Next I'm gonna go into Effects.
And I'm gonna add a vignette.
As you can see, I can add a white vignette
if I move it to the right,
which I don't want.
Or if I move it to the left I can add a black vignette.
I'm gonna add just a little bit.
Up here on the top, I can add clarity.
That's gonna really bring in the details of this photo.
See the difference?
Before
and after.
Right you can crank that up,
really get a lot of detail in there.
Or you can back it off and it gets blurry.
Now if I wanted to crop the picture.
I could do that here.
And I can also tilt it.
But we're not gonna do that.
And the cropping option is right here on your bottom left
and you go through and choose whatever size you want.
So for this I'm gonna do 16 by nine
and I'm just gonna crop it right there.
When I'm ready, I'm just gonna tap on the check,
and boom, there's our picture.
Before
and after.
Now the cool thing about this app is,
all these changes that you did,
you can easily go back and undo every single one of them.
Watch this.
So I just did the crop and I actually don't like it.
So I'm gonna go back to Crop.
And I'm gonna put it on Original.
And now that's where we originally started.
So I'm gonna hit okay.
Plus all the changes that we did.
Even though we did all the changes,
I can go back to Presets and I can undo that.
I can go back to Effects.
I can undo the vignette.
I can redo any effect that I want or reduce it or add it
at any stage during the edit
and that is super powerful.
So I'm happy with this.
I'm gonna hit the check mark on the top.
And it's gonna save it right here into All Photos.
Now that I've saved the photo inside a white room,
when I wanna export it,
I open the photo back up.
I tap on the Export icon.
I save to Camera Roll.
I choose maximum available.
And it's saved.
Now if I back out,
you're gonna see other images that I've worked on.
Lightroom will keep these images
and all the edits within them
until you actually delete the photos.
And that's awesome feature to have.
And those are my three favorite photo editing apps
besides Snapseed.
Thank you so much for watching.
