Polarr
polarr.coPhoto editing doesn’t have to be
intimidating, and neither does it have to
cost you a fortune. We’ve covered a host
of alternatives here before – programs like
Gimp and Paint.NET, and online services
like PhotoPea – but none is quite as easy
and effective as Polarr, which has grown
from a mobile app into a very capable
piece of PC software.
It does away with the majority of the
tools you’ll never use in other apps to
focus on what matters. You can use it to
add film-like tint effects to your digital
photos, quickly remove blemishes or
unwanted spots from images that need
tidying up, crop your images to focus
on the content that matters, and add
captions if something needs a label. There
are also more advanced features that
Polarr asks you to pay for if you want to
create more arty shots.SNAP HAPPY Even the dullest shot can
get a fresh new look with Polarr.Images: Pixabay, Polarr8 |^ |^ November 2019
