Picsart is one of the best photo and video editing apps, going beyond basic filters with options for layering and remixing media together.
What is Picsart?
Picsart is a photo and video editor app that excels beyond its level of simplicity. The application comes with a massive collection of free editing tools that allow for serious editing, while still retaining the ease of use that Picsart is known for. Whether you need to fix an error or edit an existing image, Picsart has all the tools you need.
The app has over 7 million monthly active users, so it's highly likely that you'll find what you're looking for in Picsart's enormous library of tools. Here's what you can do with the app: It's hard to find a good photo editing app that works on your mobile device and comes with tons of options for layering and remixing photos and videos.
How to use Picsart to edit your photos
Picsart's big draw is its selection of filters and brushes that let you experiment with your photos in different ways. Browse through the brand new filters, themed by city, season or mode. The filters are beautifully designed, and add a different aesthetic to your images - sometimes whimsical, sometimes moody.
You can activate these filters in the mode (color, monochrome, landscape or night) menu before you shoot - it's just a matter of a tap. You can also use the photo filters as part of your editing process, applying them to other photos in your folder or via the new Library. Once you've taken your image, tap on the photo, which now shows up with a giant heart on the bottom right. This is Picsart's 'Find' feature.
Installing and setting up Picsart for the first time
The first step to using Picsart is to open up the app, point it at your camera roll, and choose to open your camera. If you don't have a camera, then open the Camera application. You'll find Picsart in the camera section. Once inside,
you can begin changing the look of your photos. Here's how to do it: 1. Drag one of the images in your camera roll into the main view. If you have taken a group shot, you can use it for both the foreground and background. 2. Open the Effects tool, and choose the layer mask icon on the top right. Then choose the inner circle in the bottom left corner.
Once the mask is selected, click anywhere inside it, and your filter will appear. 3. Once you click and drag your layer mask, you can change it around so that everything around the layer will not be changed.
Importing an image to edit
Once you've downloaded the app, open it and select File > Open. This will bring up a window asking you to select an image. If you don't already have an image selected, this may prompt you to choose one. Once you've done so,
the app will automatically open the file in a new window and give you some basic controls over the image. You can crop the image, change the contrast and brightness, adjust the hue and saturation, add a watermark, or adjust the transparency of any text you've added. The interface is easy to understand and navigate,
and there are plenty of controls that help you experiment with the image without leaving the app. Let's say you want to take the focus off of the camera and on to the subject. You can do this by going to the Edit menu, and selecting Transmit to Receive.
How to use the editing tools in Picsart
For the time being, Picsart offers editing and sharing of your pictures with Instagram (but not other social media sites). It is a no-frills editing app, and it doesn’t try to do everything to make your photos look good. There are a few basic editing tools that you can access straight away: the healing brush, HDR, and crop tool. But in most other aspects,
you are on your own. You can see the results of the edits you have done in real-time in the panel. The editing tools, you can find in a menu, are laid out in an intuitive way. In fact, Picsart’s main point of difference is that it lets you edit your images without having to press a bunch of buttons. You can add layers, then work with them to create a collage or stitch multiple photos together.
