Which are the Best Photo Editing Applications – FX Photo Studio HD

Using Fx Photo Studio HD to Edit iPad Photos

After checking out ArtStudio for iPad photos editing, I decided to have a look at another photo editing application this one is called Fx Photo Studio HD. It is a paid for application, but it was not expensive at the price of €1.59. These are my first impressions of the application and the first thing to say about it is that it is pretty easy to work with. When it first opens up you see a nice big yellow panel in the middle of the screen and the option to go into the photo album, or to import a photo. If you click on import you can bring in a photo from either Facebook or from documents. The author, the developer has thoughtfully put a recommend button in that panel, so you can like it on Facebook, Twitter about it, or review it on the App Store. If you have already been working on a photo and you can see it behind the panel then you may dismiss that panel and continue working on your previous photo.

Getting Started with the App to edit iPad Photos

When you go to load a photo from within the application, or you tap on the button for the photo album at start-up, it is the same as when you just go into the photo albums to select your image. You are given the option to crop the photo to a square and then you can start going into your choosing which of the effects that are available. You can look at the effects by categories, all effects, favourites and presets. When you click on presets, all of the effects applied to the image previously during that session will be included in a new preset. So if you have loaded two or three effects and you like the effect that you have created, you will be able to use it again really easily. To have an effect put into the favourites section, you just tap on the star to the right of the picture that gives you the preview of that effect.

iPad Photos – Square or Rectangular

At the top of the screen, you will see the icons for load photo, share, undo and redo, tools and options. In the options one of the possibilities is to hide effects. So if there is a particularly horrible effect in the list, that you will never want to use, you swipe across the effect and you will see the hide button. You may also change the preview quality from normal, if you want the application to work faster, change it to low quality preview and too high if you don’t mind that it will load slower. I have turned off the square crop as I prefer to have rectangular shaped images.

Sharing Your iPad Photographs

Within this application you can save your image to the Photo Album, documents and to the clipboard. It is also possible to share your images via Flickr, e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, tumbler, Instagram and you may also send it to a printer. I have successfully shared an image from this application to Facebook, but I found that it didn’t work out when I wanted to share an image with Flickr. I took an image of a train station in the Pyrenees in France and applied a distorted mirror effect which made it all wavy, I enhanced the colours of the photo and then applied an effect which gave it rain drops all over it, as if I was taking the picture from behind a piece of glass with raindrops on it. I suppose that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
