The app offers\u00a0the basic colour and size manipulation tools, such as a contrast and saturation adjuster, as well as\u00a0several image effects. You can also add a coloured tint to shadows and highlights for an arty effect. For Instagram fans, VSCO Cam has a great collection of filters, which are better than those on Instagram. The app relies on icons and code numbers instead of words for editing tasks so beginners may take some time\u00a0to figure out how to use the app effectively.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.vsco.cam\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download for Android<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/app\/vsco-cam\/id588013838?mt=8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download for iOS<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h4>Pixlr<\/h4>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24319 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pricecheck.co.za\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/pixlr-300x158.jpg\" alt=\"Pixlr\" width=\"700\" height=\"369\" srcset=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/pixlr-300x158.jpg 300w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/pixlr-768x404.jpg 768w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/pixlr-351x185.jpg 351w, \/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/pixlr.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This\u00a0image editing app is ideal for those who want an app that goes the extra mile. The most noteable feature of this free app is that\u00a0it allows you to overlay multiple images on top of one another, and even adjust their opacity and size, a bit similar to a full-blown desktop image editing program that supports layers. In addition to giving you the ability to\u00a0place your own images on top of each other, you can also use some of the partially-transparent overlays that are provided in the app, such as a smoke, chemical burn, or outer space image. The app also offers all of the traditional adjustment tools as well as some interesting effects like pencil, silk, poster, watercolor, old, unicolor, vintage, or cross effect.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.pixlr.express\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download for Android<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/app\/pixlr-express-plus\/id526783584?mt=8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Download for iOS<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Looking for a new smartphone?
