5 Photo Editing Apps You’ll love for Dramatic Effect
Discover 5 of the best photo editing apps that will add a dramatic effect to your images instantly. These easy to use apps are designed for mobile artists to bring their creativity to life. Say goodbye to boring photos and bring your photos to another level with these right apps installed on your phone.
1. Mextures
The Mextures app can apply some beautiful colorful gradients to your images with just one click. You can adjust the opacity of the gradient on how strong you want it to be applied based on your style. This transforms your photo into an artistic masterpiece. This app also applies some textures such as grain, dust and light leak overlays. You can combine these textures and effects. If you like the combination you used, you can save the formula for future use on another image. The app costs $1.99 but it is a one time payment.
2. Lens Distortions – LD
Lens Distortion creates light and sun overlays that will bring life to your images. Unlike other apps with light leaks, you can adjust the size and place the overlay wherever you want. This gives you more control on how you want your photo to look like. The app also offers bokeh, eclipse, shimmer, fog, rain and snow overlays. It is a free mobile app. You can unlock more photo effects, filters and grading tools by subscribing to LD Unlimited for $12/year. However, you’ll already have great options with the free version.
3. Kira Kira
The Kira Kira Plus is a glitter and sparkle effect helping reflective objects such as jewelry, glass, light, etc get an extra shine. This app works great for videos too. The sparkles on Kira Kira have a more natural beautiful look compared to other sparkle apps. The app is a one time pay of $0.99.
4. Glitty – Glitter & Sparkle FX
The Glitty app adds glitter textures to your photos. You have full control as you are drawing the glitters on the photo manually. You can turn your clothes, grass, background, etc into glitters. It’s a free app that can unlock more glitter styles if you pay for their subscription of $0.99. However, I’ve been quite happy with the free version.
5. Color Story
Color Story is a free app that has a few nice free effects such as chromatic, basic filters and effects. However, you would need to pay to unlock more cool effects and filters. For this app, it’s good that you have the option to either subscribe monthly on the app or pay for the filter/effect bundle that you like. There are some cool effects such as bokeh, light leak and prism effects that I would say are worth buying and you wont’ have to commit to the monthly subscription.
