There are so many options when you wanted to choose an application related to photography. Nowadays we cannot make a quick decision on which app to download. So that’s why we compiled some editor choice Photoshop photography app for you.

Editing the photos is a trend now; everybody edits their photo to look better.

There are so many photo editing tools available for PC and mobile version but the difference among them is humongous. In desktop computers, you get a variety of features and editing on the computer is way easier compared to smartphones. In mobiles, the Photoshop app does the trick but it does not have all the functions of the premium service.

The download of the Photoshop photography application depends on the tools and features available in the app. It’s always a good idea to have more than one photo editing application on mobile to make your picture look perfect.

These are the top best Photoshop applications for smartphone photography:

Snapseed

Snapseed is included in the top best app because of the editing experience this app provides to its users. A very user friendly application along with amazing filters that you can compare with social media giant Instagram.

It has a lot of interesting features and “Expand” is one of them. It analyzes the background area and uses the data to make canvas even bigger.

If you are a professional editor then you can download this application and start editing. It has numerous presets and filters. In order to gain full control of it, you need to learn each and everything.

You can download both iOS and Android versions.

VSCO

VSCO have the great quality editing tools along with an immense collection of filters. VSCO is perfect for those who love a filmy look. Increase or decrease saturation, add colors, make contrast and adjust brightness all the basic essentials are there in the VSCO photo editing application.

After editing your pictures you can share it with the VSCO community for feedback. Most of the filters are free but it requires a subscription to get access to all filters.

Adobe Photoshop Express

Everybody knows how powerful Adobe photo editing software are. It is the most successful and most complete software to use for photo editing on desktops. Adobe Photoshop Express is the mobile version of the software. There are so many tutorials on YouTube regarding the Adobe photo editor tool from where you can become an expert in using this software.

There are several benefits of this app in smartphones like you can easily navigate through tools and features. You can also create integration through creative cloud integration. You can also share your post directly to Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. But the Adobe Photoshop Express doesn’t have all the features which we have on the desktop versions and another thing is you need a membership of a creative cloud in order to unlock all the tool and functions.

Afterlight

Afterlight is also a great photo editing tool app for photography lovers. The app can occupy your time very well as it has so much learning stuff.

Afterlight 2 is a great photo editing app for beginners with an iPhone. It includes a ton of features. You can spend hours exploring the app and experimenting with your images.

The simple layout of the app has clear icons that make it easy to navigate. It offers the perfect balance between simple and advanced photo editing apps.

It’s a great mid-level editing program that does what it’s supposed to do.

PROS
  • User-friendly
  • Text overlays
  • Selective hue and lightness adjustment
CONS
  • No frame options
  • Only for iPhone
  • Too many unnecessary features

Lightroom CC Mobile

Like Photoshop, Lightroom is a preferred desktop program for professional photographers.

You can download the Lightroom CC Mobile app for free. It is a great choice for smartphone photography.

With this free version, you can use presets and also make image adjustments. The app has a variety of features, one of our favorites is the curves tool.

On top of that, it’s user-friendly and a great option for both amateurs and professionals.

The possibilities are comparable with the desktop version.

The best way to use Lightroom CC Mobile is to combine it with the desktop version.

PROS
  • Import presets
  • Advanced tools for professional editing
  • Supports RAW images
  • Syncs with Adobe Creative Cloud (editing between devices)
CONS
  • It’s free but requires a subscription if you want to access all tools and functions

Touch Retouch

TouchRetouch is all about removing objects from a photo. It allows you to remove street signs, people, power lines, and a lot more.

It’s the app to choose if you want to do just that.

PROS
  • Best choice for removing objects
CONS
  • Very specific purpose

Darkroom

The Darkroom is a multi-app workflow solution. It’s a decent alternative to Lightroom but it offers a different take on workflow.

The Library is what it’s all about. Instead of importing photos, Darkroom uses your existing photo library.

The advantage is that you won’t end up with a duplicate library.

Darkroom offers similar editing tools that work well for RAW and jpg images. It also features a unique take on depth-enabled Portrait Mode.

This means you can apply different edits to different parts of the picture, depending on how far away they are.

PROS
  • User-friendly design
  • Access your entire photo library without importing each one individually
  • Batch any number of photos
  • Create and save custom filters
  • Track, undo and redo edits
  • Supports RAW files
  • Share images directly to Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter
CONS
  • Only for iPhone

Conclusion

If you want to improve your smartphone photography, it’s important to learn how to edit.

These days, with mobile photography being so popular, it’s a good idea to also have a photo editing app on your smartphone.

Pick one that suits your needs and make your photos stand out before you share them with your audience.

Coronavirus and 5G conspiracy theory https://techying.com/editors-picks/coronavirus-and-5g-conspiracy-theory/ Wed, 06 May 2020 18:30:00 +0000 https://techying.com/?p=1710 Some individuals are claiming that people are getting infected by coronavirus due to 5G technology. […]

Some individuals are claiming that people are getting infected by coronavirus due to 5G technology. As the 5G technologies weaken your immune system and make it easy for the virus to enter your body. These are baseless and illogical claims people are spreading.

The cell towers release a radiofrequency wave which is a form of non-ionizing radiation. The non-ionizing radiation is not strong enough to disrupt the structure of atoms of damage DNA.

The ionizing radiations such as X-rays, gamma rays, and ultraviolet light (UV light) can cause harm to human health. Try to avoid these radiations as much as possible because these radiations may cause cancer.

During this pandemic, the world is fighting with the coronavirus and also with those uninformed people who keep sharing baseless information related to 5G on mainstream and on social media as well.

As of today, there is no evidence found spreading of this virus through 5G towers. But this misinformation spread rapidly on social media as other myths.

World Health Organization (WHO) gave a statement in a press conference that 5G is not harmful to human health and it does not transfer any kind of virus into the human body.

All the studies and reports on coronavirus revealed that the virus is transferable through droplets. It’s not in the air at the moment it can transfer through physical contacts.

The false information and conspiracy theory leads toward the cost of many lives as there were some rumors regarding drinking alcohol kills the virus. Due to this many people lost their lives around the globe. In addition, the same thing happened on 5G technology, people burned the 5G towers just to prevent coronavirus.

5G is the fifth generation of wireless communication technology. 5G is faster, efficient, and smoother than 4G. The 5G can have a speed of 10 gigabits or more, so having these stats we can surely conclude that 5G is a hundred times faster than 4G.

People must defeat this kind of misinformation by searching the authenticity of shared information by checking statements of government officials and related institutions such as WHO.

Second people shouldn’t believe everything they see on social media as the information on social media is vague and not trustworthy unless it came from an authentic source. People must try to understand the purpose behind shared information and not believe in any conspiracy theory.

Coronavirus has a huge impact on our lives. From industry sectors to our social life everything is disturbed, but in this world of challenges when one window closes, another window opens of new opportunities. As the coronavirus is seeping through the world, new innovations and new gadgets are also surfaced to deal with the looming threat humanity faces.

From spiderman-esque wrist mounted disinfectant spray to a wristband that buzzes when you are going to touch your face, during these critical days the humans are still trying to fight and innovate new techniques to cope with the virus.

Here are some of the newest coronavirus innovations.

Hands-free door handle

According to experts, the coronavirus can live on stainless steel for at least 3 days, and mostly the handles are made of steel so hygienic door handle is coming into the market very shortly. This innovation could be a game changer in hospitals where the hand sanitation is a matter of life and death.

There are other products like door opening hook that are currently in the market created by Steve Brooks. They hook is small enough to fit in your pocket.

Another device in the market by Welshman Wyn which is hands free door opener. The door opener can be operated through the forearm. The idea is available for free and anyone can print it via 3D printer and distribute it wherever necessary.

Masks and Ventilators

A snood mask with an antiviral coating which protects against 95% of the viruses including coronavirus claims the developer.

The company is pushing to produce to a million per week and also take stoke backup for UK’s National Health Service (NHS).

Dr. Rhys Thomas from Wales designed a ventilator that helps patients breathe and also has the capability to kills coronavirus. Although it has some basic functionality to fight with the initial case of coronavirus, it won’t replace the ICU’s ventilator. The main aim behind this innovation is to reduce the patients going towards intensive care units and that will help specialists and nurses to have some breath from their duties.

In this situation, we need to help each other and share the latest innovations and new gadgets with each other so that everyone can get benefit from it and saves as many lives as possible.

Virtual reality is creating a three dimensional image by using a computer technology that shows it as a reality.  Multiple electronic equipments create such an environment that tricks the brain to believe in the realness of the image. Sensory gloves, helmets and other electronic equipment are required to create such reality.

These equipment checks the user’s movement regularly and makes them believe they are part of the computer generated environment. You can play games and see other exciting stuff by just using gloves or helmets without any movement.

Virtual reality started in 1985 but could not get as much attention till 1999 when science fiction movie “The Matrix” came out. People found this technique interesting and gradually VR became famous.

There are many big companies that invested in this sector such as Google, Sony, Samsung, and many other renowned corporations. There are some fields that can get benefit from this Virtual Reality (VR) and get maximum output.

Gaming


Virtual reality tricks your mind and makes you believe that you are inside the game environment. Oculus Rift is one example of using virtual reality in the gaming sector. While using Oculus Rift headset and playing a game, the person tends to avoid things that were thrown at him in the game. Gaming becomes more aggressive and competitive in virtual reality.

Cinema


3D is widely used in cinema houses that improves film watching experience. Adding the VR layer makes it even better. By virtual reality, you can feel what is really going on with the character in an original way. You can also see it in different angel just like 360 degrees.

Education


Now we have the digital learning system in the education sector that is quite good but it is not as entertaining and focused as virtual reality. Audio and video contacts are a good way to communicate, but with VR, you can explore each and everything that is around you in a completely different way. Through virtual reality simulator children can learn science very well and they can also take a tour of it. It will provide them more knowledge and it is also a time saving technique.

Medicine

The medical sector also gets benefits from this technology as the doctor can now have a better look at the human internal system and can practice well before starting surgeries in real life. Like before starting the operation of heart surgery, the doctor examines it through VR and understand the situation better and rectify the problem. By this, they can save time and the success rate of dealing with any difficult surgery is increased.

Customer Interaction

A company always wants to be in touch with their customers by pushing them through various offers which company introduced and make them feel superior, just like the adventure park or theme park they can introduce virtual reality experience to their customers to feel thrilled about the latest technology.

Hotels can get the maximum benefit from this technology by the introduction of the 3D tour to their clients. That way the customers can engage more and easily make their minds regarding staying in the hotel or not. The 360 virtual tours of the hotel room make the customer think of the luxury offered by the hotel.

Exploring World

With virtual reality, there are so many opportunities that we can avail. Now through 360 virtual reality, we can see every part of the globe like we are standing there. Google uses 3D maps and gets a good response but the 360 virtual reality is on another level. You can sit on your couch and can travel all over the world without leaving your house.
