Picsart photo studio
Nice and intuitive interface
PicsArt Photo Studio is an ideal application for those who constantly post their photos on social networks and need a convenient tool for quick image editing directly on their smartphone. At the first start, the application interface seems a bit oversaturated and looks more like a social network, and, in principle, it is.
Users who are going to use the services of the social network from PicsArt will immediately pay attention to the tabs “My Network”, “Artists” and “Competitions”. But for most people there will be enough photo editing functions that are available in the "Overview" column. It contains a menu divided into categories - “Effects”, “Drawing”, “Edit”, “Camera”, “Effects” and “Shop”.
The effects section allows you to take a photo and edit it using ready-made presets and a large number of color filters. It is important that each of them can be manually configured. At the end of working with photography, the application will prompt the user to either save the finished photo locally, or immediately upload it to one of the common social networks.
The most interesting tabs are “Drawing” and “Editing”. In the first case, the process is similar to working in the Microsoft Paint package preinstalled in Windows, but with a bunch of additional tools taken from Photoshop. But the most important and interesting aspect of the program is “Editing”, in which a huge number of different effects, stickers, frames and masks are available. It is also possible to manually work on color grading photos. And all this inside an absolutely clear and intuitive interface.
