How to edit photos

1. Have the idea ready.

For editing  photos to upload on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter we need to have a clear idea of what we want in the photo. For example if we want to lower the brightness of  the photo, or removing facial imperfections in a selfie, or putting the double photo, etc.

2. Have memory in the phone.

For editing our photos we need to have memory on the phone to make and take photos (which will be edited) and to download applications (there are applications for all types of editing).

3. Download editing applications.

If you want to edit the photos you need applications, but to download application  depends on what you want to accomplish in the picture. 

If we want to put on a framework in the picture we can use "instaSize" or "instaSquarer". If we want put on different filter "100Filters". If we want to fix brightness, the contrast, the imperfections, the shades, the sharpness we can us "Pixlr" or "Rookie". If we want to put 2 times the same photo at a time, it is "Photo Mirror Editor". If we want to do a collage you need to have "InstaPicFrames". And only for imperfections "Perfect365" or "Visage Lab".

4. Choose the picture.

Search in your photos and select the best, the ones you like, and so you can look out on to things like editing.

5. Choose the application.

After choosing the photo we have to choose the application, it depends on what you want to change in the photo, the editor is chosen and upload the chosen photo.

6. Have a copy of the original photo.

If we are to edit a photo , it does not  need to edit the original photo, edit and copy, since if we regret of the changes made with the editor we will have the original untouched photo. We can have the number of copies that we want.

7. You don't have to edit the photos in excess.

Everyone can like our edited photos to make them look better, but you have to keep in mind that a lot of  editing makes the picture look unnatural and lose important details. YOU HAVE TO KNOW WHERE TO STOP!

8. Compare the original photo with the edited photo.

Finally we propose to compare the two pictures (original and edited) and we need to take care of the edited photo looking too unnatural.
