How I Edit My Pictures

Believe it or not, I don't heavily edit my pictures at all not that anyone can tell. I usually just add a filter and maybe brighten the picture a little. I tend to only use three apps and the occasional Instagram filter (however I think their selection is kind of small). Below are the apps and websites I use to edit my pics and as a bonus I listed how I make headers and whatnot. 

After light is and always will be one of my favorite apps. I believe it's a few dollars in the app store and I think it's highly worth it. It's super user friendly and it's really fast to use. When I use after light I tend to brighten up my picture a tiny bit and then I use only one of two filters. I go under the "Guest" category for filters and I almost always choose "Russ". If I'm not feeling that I often opt for "Leila" which like completely adds a kind of fog over the picture. But lately because of VSCO I'm obsessed with blue tones and hues and I think the "Horine" filter would be cool too. I also love how easy it is to crop stuff and if you're a huge fan of adding borders to your photos you can also do it in the app so there's no need for a border adding app. You can also make in-app purchases and purchase more filters which I believe I did at one point but I mostly use the free ones.

I just started using VSCO this summer and I'm obsessed. After light used to be my go to and now I find myself going to the VSCO app more and more often #vscosawitfirst. I love how you can also post and share your pics - it's totally a social media and editing app all in one and I'm a huge fan of that. It's almost like a better version of Instagram. Like stated, I absolutely love the blue toned filters VSCO has to offer and I find myself gravitating towards the same ones. My favorite filters are "C1", "P5", "Q9", and "T1". Luckily these happen to work perfectly for me so I don't feel the need to buy more filters but VSCO offers tons of options if you want to have more filters in different themes and color ranges. I tend to lighten up my pictures a little and filter and I'm usually done. The only thing I don't like about this app is the cropping of photos because you usually have to use the given ratios - but it's not too much of a hassle, just the occasional inconvenience. Overall VSCO is a 9/10 and my absolute favorite.

I really do like the Layout app. However, I don't usually use this app, but I do for the occasional outfit post where I want my outfits to be side to side. It's really self-explanatory and it's super user friendly. I love how easy it is to use and I love how many collage options it has. I think it's a really handy app to have and I really like using it whenever need be but I try not to over use it. There's not too much to say about it because it doesn't do anything special but it is pretty handy so that's really cool.

I don't really edit pictures on here per say as much as I just fool around on this. I really like it for making things for my blog such as headers and whatnot and I find it really fun to use. I love doing overlays (which you can find a tutorial on almost anywhere) or just adding my favorite quotes to backgrounds or whatever. They have a really great premium option for like $5 a month which features tons of cool fonts. I use the free version and just download my own fonts from websites like DaFont or whatever website offers cute fonts. If you have time to play around with this website I would, I totally love using it and I think it's actually really fun.
