Photography covers a lot of ground. As a hobby, a lot of people try their hand at it. But once you find your niche, it’s a perfectly good job. For the best photos, most photographers use DSLR cameras and other high-tech gear. But there are also many more people who depend on their phones. Many things can be done well enough with phone cameras. There are also apps that help photographers that don’t have anything to do with cameras. In this list, we’ll take a look at both kinds. Here are the best Android apps for taking pictures!
Adobe apps
Adobe has a set of desktop apps for people who like to be creative. They have a similar set of apps for photographers who use their phones. One of their products is a pretty good mobile version of Adobe Lightroom. You can also find two Photoshop apps, a scanner app (for real photos), and more. The most professional one is Lightroom. The Photoshop apps are mostly for simple things like filters and stickers. But even they have some simple things. They are free to use. With an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription, you can add more features.
Google Photos
Google Photos is a great app for people who take pictures. It lets you store your photos in the cloud. But there is a catch. It uploads them in Google’s high-quality resolution or, if you want, in the highest resolution possible. So, people who are very picky about things like this might not like Photos. Aside from that, it’s a good cloud storage space. You can use your phone or a computer to get to it. It also has a few other things. We wouldn’t use it to edit photos or do anything else like that. Aside from Google taking away the free part of the service in 2021, we can’t think of much else that’s wrong with it.
HyperFocal Pro
A different kind of photography app is HyperFocal Pro. It doesn’t take pictures or change them. Most of the time, it helps with math. You can keep track of things like the settings on your camera and the weather when you are shooting. This includes the hyperfocal distance, the angle of view, the field of view, and the depth of field. The interface is a little boring, but it does what it needs to do. Really, there isn’t much to gripe about. This is a great app for people who use DSLR cameras. It’s also free, and there are no ads or in-app purchases.
Magic ViewFinder apps
There are also useful photography apps that are made by Magic ViewFinder. You can scout locations and plan scenes without having to move all of your gear. This developer has made a number of them. There are some that look like Canon, Nikon, Lumix, Red, and other brands. You can figure out things like focal length and plan your shots before you have to set up all of your gear. There are different prices for these apps, but none of them cost more than a few dollars. They are better than most photo apps. The developer also has an app for $4.80 that is an all-in-one viewfinder that has everything.
Open Camera
Most of the time, you should use the camera app that came with your phone. Almost all of them have manual modes, pro modes, and post-processing that are made for the hardware of your camera. But Open Camera isn’t a bad choice for those who need a replacement. It has a full manual mode, auto-leveling, HDR, a panoramic mode, an on-screen histogram, focus peaking, and you can even use your voice to take pictures from a distance. The app is free and open source, and the image quality is pretty good. It works well in place of a camera app.
