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 Photos has been updated for Android and with it comes a long requested feature of the app. Version 2.0 is out now in the Play Store and if you have the app already installed, you will get an OTA update for it over the course of the next few days. The new feature? The ability to permanently organize photos in albums.
Prior to this release, photos in an album could be moved around but they could not be sorted automatically (say oldest to newest). This update to Google Photos brings that feature.
The Snapseed team over at Google have released another update to the Android photo editing app. The update, version 2.9 for those keeping score at home, brings several new tools to the app as well as some improvements on preferences. The new tools include a new Face tool which allows you to bring focus to faces, smooth skin and to add clarity to eyes. Like the other filters in the app, you can adjust the strength of each of these elements of the tool to bring it to your liking or you can simply have Snapseed analyze your photo and make the adjustments automatically. In testing out this new tool, the smoothing feature is very impressive. It softens up lines and wrinkles but doesn’t over do it with too much softness.
The easy-to-use yet powerful photo editing app for Android, Snapseed, has been updated with several new features this week. The updated build, version 2.8 for those keeping score at home, brings users the ability to add text to their photos in a wide range (dozens) of styles. The new feature is listed under tools in the app and when you tap it, you will see a wide variety of styles to chose from for your text. Once you type in your text (by tapping the text on your photo), you can move it around within the photo for effect or for location. It’s quite powerful and certainly adds a nice touch to your photos.
