One of my goals with this blog/website is to provide free resources for people who like to edit pictures on their phones. Today I will talk about the TouchRetouch App (Google) (IOS). I have had this app on my phone for a while now and I put it to the test yesterday, editing a lightning shot from this past weekend’s storm. Below is a before and after of the picture using the app.

If you are into using your phone for your whole photography process, I recommend this app.
Kinemaster is a powerful videography editing tool for your phone. You can get it for both Android and IOS. There is a free version and paid version of this app. The free version has a watermark on your video and you don’t have access to many of the effects but you can still edit your videos on the fly and get them on your social media platforms.

There are several tutorials on how to use this app on YouTube. Justin Brown with Primal Video (link provided) on how to start using this app. Once you get comfortable with the app, there are others like Ajay Kaja TV (link to his channel provided) who can help you take your mobile video editing to the next level.
I hope this blog post helps. If you are using any other apps on your phone, let me know in the comments below. I would be interested in seeing what others are using. Thanks and have a good one.
We had storms come through here in southern Louisiana yesterday and there was lots of lightning. Once my duty day ended at four o’clock, I got into my car and tried to get some lightning shots. I had my phone shooting video and my Samsung Gear 360 was going in the back of my car. The shots below are from three different ways I was able to capture lightning.

This shot was taken with the Lightning Camera app.

There are different ways to capture lightning if you have the patience. For example, I took over 40 minutes of video with the 360 camera and this was the best lightning strike I got.
I hope you enjoyed the lightning shots as much as I enjoyed being out there and getting them. I love storm photography.

Recently, I talked about my phone as my camera. I shared most of the camera apps I use on my phone (I forgot some after going through my phone). I also use my phone as my photography and video editor. I’m going to start a series on the different editors I use to edit my pictures and videos. Today I’m going to discuss Snapseed.
Snapseed is a free app for both Android and IOS. It has the capability to edit RAW images, which is a plus when shooting in RAW and needing to get content out quickly. Here is a screen shot of what is available.

As you can see, there are several different options when editing in Snapseed. If you want excellent tutorials on how to use Snapseed, Kenneth Wayne is an expert when it comes to editing in Snapseed. Here is his Instagram and YouTube. Check out his stuff if you want to learn Snapseed.
I hope this helps with an option to edit on your phone. Please like, comment, and subscribe if you haven’t. I hope you have a wonderful day. Peace.
