Even before photo-editing and sharing sensation Instagram hit the Google Play Store, there were plenty of other wonderful apps that allowed Android users to embellish their photos with filters, stickers, brushes, font styles, badges, borders and what not. No matter how saturated the photography genre of the Google Play Store may have become, there is always a new contender that catches the attention of users with something unique, or an insane amount of features. One fine example of photo editors that offer the latter is LINE Camera, a new addition to the store. While the purpose of LINE Camera is pretty much the same as any other app from its genre, the overwhelming number of different options that it contains is what makes it special; that and the ease with which it lets you use them to spruce up your photos.

Owing to the awesomeness of the cameras in newer iOS devices, the App Store is full of apps related to photography and imagery. When it comes to snapping photos using your iPhone, no one wants to bore others with pictures shot in the same style over and over. This is why, like Instagram, there are many apps which let users apply a lot of filters to the images they might have on their iDevice. However, in almost all the apps out there, the available cameras and filters have to be limited, and their amount static. This means that the urge to create something truly unique remains unsatisfied for the most part. If you can relate to that, then Infinicam is just the app you have always been looking for. The app comes with thousands of camera filters, and the list is growing all the time. Read on to know more about Infinicam. Read More

When it comes to photo editing, Adobe Photoshop may click your mind. Due to its vast amount of feature sets and mind-boggling photo effects, it has attained an almost godlike status among other similar image editing applications. Because of this much popularity, many other photo editors have opted for a similar route.

FireAlpaca is a fabulous and light-weight image editing tool that will let you enhance all your favorite shots that you snapped during the vacation. Though, it doesn’t contain any preset photo filters, you may find most of the basic, and then a few advanced features that come packed in other quality image editing tools. The interface is cool and easy to work with, and feels quite like Adobe’s brainchild, and the best thing is, its available for free. Take an inside look after the jump. Read More
