The ever popular photo editing app Paint.net has finally made its way to the Microsoft Store for Windows 10. The app will sell for $8.99 but right now has a special launch price of $5.99 along with a free 30-day trial for first time users.
The updated version of Paint.net is build 4.0.18 for those keeping score at home and with it now in the Microsoft Store, you have automatic updating and overall stability improvements in Windows 10.
Google has released a nice update to their photo editing app, Snapseed. The update brings back a popular perspective tool while adding a new export feature and other improvements. The vertical and horizontal correction tool is back, allowing you to quickly and easily adjust the contrast and saturation of a photo just by dragging your finger across the photo. It makes editing quickly and like other filters in the app, there are several preset ones for you to use as a starting point or final edit.
Along with this, the Face filter has been improved with a choice of styles for you to use. In addition to the Smooth and Eye filters, there are a couple of new Spotlight as well as combination filters to help enhance the faces in your photos.
Snapseed has an update rolling out for both Android and iOS that brings several tweaks and improvements to the popular photo editing app. The update, version 2.14 for those keeping score at home, refines the Face filter which was introduced a couple of releases ago, making it smoother and giving users a bit more control over how it is applied. The Face filter is a powerful feature of the app and the new tweaks to it are excellent based on my testing this morning.
For Android users, the Perspective tool brings back the horizontal and vertical adjustment modes. These went away a few revs ago and many users (Clinton raises his hand) asked for it back as it was a super handy tool. Google, who owns Snapseed, listened and it has returned.
Prisma has become one of the most popular Android and iOS apps out there. The AI-driven photo manipulating app allows you to quickly and effortlessly turn a photo into a work of art and can produce some amazing results. The only real drawback to the app, however, has been that in order for you to use it, you had to be online. With the latest update to the app, which is rolling out to the Google Play Store now, that changes. You can now use the app offline to do your art creation and even better, you only really need to be online when you are downloading Prisma styles.
