TouchRetouch
TouchRetouch
Available for Android/iOS
Price: $1.99
This extremely simple and straightforward photo editor will help you easily remove any objects that throw off the balance of your pics. You just need to mark the unwanted content with the transparent red color and tap the 'Go' button to clear it out from a shot. You can apply either the Lasso orthe Brush tool to make selections (the latter one seemed to me more precise) and tap on the diskette to save the result to your photo collection and share it with anybody you like. With TouchRetouch you will enhance any day-to-day photography by removing anything that takes away from its quality. Besides people and building, the app erases wires and surface breaks, blemishes and spots, shadows and other imperfections. Watch in-app video tutorials for convenience in operation or apply finger-move hints for greater results.
