The best photo editing apps for Android

For amateur photographers, there is often a question: Which apps are best for image editing on Android? In this practical tip, we clarify which functions and adjustment options are offered by three leaders in image processing. All three apps impress with a clear user interface and simple operation.

"Photoshop Touch" - The app of the big brother Adobe Photoshop

The all-round tool for the PC is also available as a mobile version as "Photoshop Touch" - significantly slimmed down but with a lot of useful functions for image editing. Various tutorials make your start considerably easier. Many tools and a variety of photo effects are available for editing. At 7.99 euros, however, the app has a decent price.

• Various photo effects such as artificial light, blur, borders or shadows
• Multiple photo layers as in the PC version - you can also adjust them with transparency etc.
• Magic wand and border selection makes cutting objects much easier

"Google Photo Editor" - Simple photo editing presented nicely

The Google Photo Editor can be fully recommended to less demanding users. You can find this in the gallery app when looking at a picture. The editor offers you many different filters with which you can graphically enhance your photos. You can also add a photo frame to your picture, trim it and make fine adjustments to color depth, contrast, etc. Do you own an Android device with version 4.4 and higher? The Google+ Photos app gives you the same features.

• Fast processing thanks to automatic effects and filters
• Very logical and intuitive operation in a chic design
• Edit and save directly via the gallery app

Snapseed - professional machining made easy

With "Snapseed" your photos quickly become something special: You control Snapseed by swiping on the screen. Left and right movements with the finger control the strength of the selected effect, with movements up or down you switch between individual effects and adjustment values. Operation is very simple, but the functions are very complex.

• Complex editing processes simply presented: blurring, local adjustment of colors, HDR creation
• You can fine-tune all effects
