Fhotoroom: Windows App Review

Fhotoroom on the Microsoft Surface

There a plenty of photo editing options available for your Windows Phone. One such pick is Fhotoroom. Fhotoroom is a nicely featured photo editor that has recently migrated from our Windows Phone Store to the Windows Store on your Microsoft Surface and Windows viii PC.

We took the Windows RT version of Fhotoroom out for a test drive recently and found Fhotoroom to be a capable photograph editor with potential but with some room for improvement.

Fhotoroom delivers over seventy six editing tools to Windows RT that covers your bones editing operations (ingather, rotate, exposure, etc.), a broad range of filters/effects, and a drove of framing options.

Fhotoroom cropping

Images can be pulled up from your Pictures Library on your device or from your Skydrive. Editing tools line upward across the bottom of the screen with your image taking eye phase.

Editing tools include ingather, exposure, saturation, image rotate, sharpen, flip, mirror, black and white conversion and an edit brush. The edit brush allows you to selective apply effects such as brightness, darken areas, saturation, and softness.

Fhotoroom

Fhotoroom includes forty-2 filters and effects ranging from light leaks to haze. The downside to the filters and furnishings with Fhotoroom is that while you have a squeamish choice, they tin only be practical in one mode. Fhotoroom lacks the power to moderate how the filter is applied. You tin can stack filters simply if you but want to utilise the Hazelnut filter l% y'all tin't.

Along with the filters and furnishings, you can add i of twenty two frames that includes Polaroid, line, film, and grunge frames. One time yous consummate your edits, images are saved to your devices Pictures Library in either .jpg or .png formats.

Fhotoroom isn't too shabby of a photo editor for the Microsoft Surface. You have a nice drove of filters/effects and cadre editing tools to requite your photos a lilliputian nada. While Fhotoroom has potential, I think it needs to improvements.

First, it needs the ability to regulate how much of a filter yous apply. You may only want to apply a slight corporeality of Brume or a lot. Second, and this i is a must, there is no mode to zoom into your prototype. Having the ability to zoom into an expanse of your photo helps tremendously when yous're using the editing castor. Yous tin can conform the size of the brush'due south area merely for those tricky edits, be able to zoom in can be the deviation between a cracking photo and a decent i.

While there is room for improvement, Fhotoroom is worth a try. The nice thing nearly it is that Fhotoroom is a complimentary app for your Windows RT and Windows 8 devices. There is a full version of Fhotoroom without ads and with a few more than filters/effects that is running $one.49 and is purchased from within the gratuitous version. You can find it all in your Windows Store app.
