Better than Photoshop for your tablet: the free and simple app to edit photos in seconds that is taking it by storm

Thanks to this application you will be able to edit any photograph with great detail, almost as if you were using a desktop program.

One of the big criticisms that is always made about the Android system in tablet format is that it does not have a wide variety of applications for work, as it does on iPads . Although the applications are not at the same level, there are great alternatives thanks to which many tasks can be carried out almost with the same ease.

Today, in fact, we are going to talk about one of them, Krita, which is slightly similar to the desktop version of Photoshop and which has a wide variety of options related to photo editing that go beyond raising or lowering levels such as brightness or contrast.

This is precisely one of the great virtues of this app, since it allows you to carry out deeper editing of the images, being able to retouch some parts, blur, add effects, crop, even change position . The tool is so complete that the use you want to give it will depend on the ability of each user.

That’s Krita

One of the things that caught my attention about this application is its interface, since it is more similar to an application for Windows or MacOS than one for Android. For example, in its top bar it has the typical menus found in applications like Photoshop, with a section for the image, layers, filters, other tools and preferences.

In fact, this seems to be one of the reasons why the application is not available for mobile phones, but rather is exclusive to tablets, since on a smartphone the interface may not adapt correctly. This means that greater precision is required to use it , but it also allows for an interface more similar to those used in desktop formats. 

When it comes to image editing, the app has a large number of possibilities and effects, many of them also present in other similar applications such as Adobe Photoshop or Gimp. Its layered work system allows for greater control and precision over the modifications made to the image.

The downside of the application having this large number of functions is that its interface can be somewhat uncomfortable if it is controlled on a model with a small screen. For this reason, and to have greater precision when selecting areas or even using the brush, it is best to use a mouse or a touch pen . The application can be downloaded completely free of charge on Google Play .
