Pixlr-o-matic Android App Review


I recently installed this application on my Android phone and I have to say that I am overwhelmed with the results, the following picture was taken with a Samsung Galaxy SII Phone (8 Mega Pixels) and later it was processed only with the Pixlr-o-matic App, it did not take more than 2 minutes to process and modify each picture, as you can see I am posting the original picture and three more pictures with the retro effects. The outputs haven’t been retouched by any other software or application and in my personal opinion the results are quite nice.

The software gives the options to apply three different effects to the picture that is been modified, the first effect uses a filter that affects the hole picture to generate the retro appear that we are looking for, the second option adds sparkling effects or lightening to specific areas of the pictures and finally the last option provides the function of changing the corners of the picture.

The app has a very friendly interface and it also allows you to modify any picture contained in the phone, I wonder just for fun how the performance will be if I use it with my DSLR pictures, maybe I will try it for my next post.

I use the following effects on each picture:
Picture one (Plain - Control)
Picture two (Ivan,Shine,Soft)
Picture Three (Amber,Leak,Hassel)
Picture Four (Melissa,Focal,Ground)
