Many of us like tweaking our pictures every now and then by adding effects to them. Some of the most commonly used effects which are available with image editing applications include Sepia, Greyscale and Negative. While these effects can be easily applied to images, it can be hard to colorize only a selected area where effects like Sepia, Grayscale or Negative have already been applied. Leaf is an image editing application which lets you colorize only selected parts of an image with a Sepia, Greyscale or Negative effect. The first part of the process includes selecting a preferred effect followed by dragging the image over the interface. Unlike most image editing applications, Leaf allows you to first add the selected effect to the image and then to remove it from selected areas of the image. Your transformed images can be saved in PNG, GIF, JPG and BMP and PDF format. Read More

The photography genre of Android apps is vast enough to offer you almost every type of flavor. There are simple photo snapping apps, countless photo editing monsters, apps that bring all the snazzy and exotic filters and effects to the table, alternatives to your Android's stock gallery, and whatnot.

Now, should you feel like getting your hands on an app that lets you distort a specific portion (specifically face) of an image, we have got a very handy solution for you.

Photoshop is a terrific image editor, the only slight shortcoming with it is that it runs on your desktop and you can’t always take your desktop with you everywhere.

Pixlr is an online image editor that drills down many high end functions for easier editing right in your browser. Read More

We love to try screenshot taking tools which offer a seamless way to capture whole and specific screen area with a feature-rich screenshot editor. In the past, we have featured many screen capturing tools, having a whole lot of different features to capture screen areas and then to edit them.
