Tips / Other

For those who never take a decent photo while traveling, have no fear. Luckily, there are apps and editing tools to slightly enhance an already beautiful photo without overdoing it.

 

Beginning with taking the photos; users should make sure they have the featured object in focus. For mobile cameras, most commonly used while traveling, just tap the object on the screen of the camera for the lens to find and focus on the target. This can be a little trickier with landscapes and sunsets, so be sure to go in and change the settings for each on your device. This may be a bit tedious at first, but will definitely lend to the quality and lighting of the photo.

 

Once the photo is taken, there are a myriad of editing tools and filters — beyond Instagram — that can be employed before sharing or printing the photo.

 

VSCO Cam includes free filters and editing tools that can really upgrade your photo. Fotor, Pixlr Editor, Gimp and Google Photos are all available on Mac, Windows and Mobile — so you can edit photos at home or on the go.

 

Taking the time to adjust vibrancy and light on your desktop will be easiest on Pixlr or Gimp. A simple color adjustment to the composition of the photo can completely transform a dull photo into travel inspiration.
