    5.0 out of 5 stars PicShop on the Kindle Fire and more: Excellent photo editor
    Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    Luckily for us, there's a growing variety of photo editing apps for the Kindle Fire and other Android devices available here. Some are quite good for basic tasks, and some just don't cut it, to put it frankly. There are freebies and paid apps, so sometimes it's difficult to pick a good one that will meet the needs of a photographer who is looking for a higher level editing tool.

    The PicShop photo editor is one of the good ones, especially with the newest 2.5.0 version, which fixed a few small but irritating bugs. At 17.5MB it's not exactly small, and it will take a little less than three minutes to download to your device, but once installed it's well worth the time and space. You then have a complete photo editing suite, with plenty of filters and effects from which to pick.

    You can read the specs here, which include the essential red-eye & blemish removal, image cropping, brightness & contrast, image sharpening & blurring, and a lot more. For this user, the social integration with Facebook and email have proven to be invaluable, though I have yet to try it with Twitter.

    The developer also offers the PicShop Lite app, a freebie that I first started with, then upgraded to this one. As far as photo editing apps go, as one who does a lot of on-the-fly editing of uploaded images, this app ranks up there with the more costly PicSay Pro, which offers slightly different functionalities. Both of these have proven to be among the best on the Kindle Fire or Kindle Fire HD 8.9" for this user, but your experiences may be different depending on your Android device.

    Update 4/2/2013:

    Installed this 2.8.2 version on my Samsung Galaxy S III, and it is a good upgrade. Have had no problem with uploads to Facebook and there's a definate improvement in the layer resize performance with either the Kindle Fire HD 8.9" or the Galaxy S III.

    This PicShop Photo Editor offers much to casual and pro photographers alike. It does an excellent job with editing and transforming your photos. It's easy to use and highly recommended to photographers of all levels.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Customer Support Is NON-EXISTENT!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 29, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    I loved this app - it worked very well and was pretty intuitive; however I've had an issue with the app for MONTHS and have not been able to get ONE response to my many emails to the developer.

    PROBLEM - Images will no longer save, post

    I can alter images all day long, however the images will no longer save ANYWHERE.
    Until the recent update - CUSTOM save option would not even display, where I could see if it the images were being placed somewhere unknown(even though searching all files failed to find any)

    When I try to save - its goes through processing as if it is...but nothing.

    I wasn't certain if this was related to the Jellybean update it was around that time, but I've not seen this complaint in other reviews or something else. Trying to get any help/response from the developer is about as effective as trying to save something I've done in this app.

    I saw what could have been a similar review today and a note that the "lite" app still saves - so I tried that...and low-and behold it does...however you don't have all of the features.

    I don't know if the "save" screen should be the same and it is not in the PRO version - missing Email and share option.

    If anyone else has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thanks!

    5.0 out of 5 stars This is an excellent photo app for the Kindle Fire or your Android device
    Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    This is a very nice photo app that will let you use your Kindle Fire HD camera more fully or edit photos on your original Fire. I picked up the free version first and liked it well enough that I bought the paid version back in December 2012 for $2.50. It's been upgraded considerably.

    Some of the reviews, not the current ones, say you can't save photos you've edited; I'm not sure if it's something they've fixed since a prior version, but you can--it is somewhat confusing though, it could look like you can only save to FB. But there are two buttons, one that says Save with a right-pointing arrow, and one that says Facebook. Clicking on the Save button saves to your device.

    When you first open it up, you'll see a black screen with a little picture icon in the lower left corner. Tap on that and choose Camera, Gallery or Facebook. If you choose Camera, you'll be able to take a picture and edit that in the app. Selecting FB just got me a spinner. Gallery opened up the pictures on the device (make sure "Device" is selected at the top if you don't see the pics you want).

    If you pick Camera, and have other apps that use the camera, you'll be given the choice of Camera or the other app(s). Note that when you pick Camera, you'll be given options to adjust the settings on your camera. Tap on the woven looking icon surrounding the blue shutter button to adjust the white balance (AW), exposure (+/-), the scene mode (auto, action, night, sunset, party--I'm thinking this is shutter speed?) and a menu icon that lets you set the store location and the picture size--I recommend the defaults for these).

    Edit options include autofix, crop, straighten, brightness, color, blemishes, red eye, focal point, tilt & shift, fish eye, sharpness, and rotate. There are filters, frames, and extras such as background fill, add an image layer, stickers, pointers, Attention (lets you place a shape around something), sketch, text, meme maker, colorize, speech (lets you add thought bubbles).

    All in all, quite a good app. It also works on my Samsung Galaxy 2.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Einfach + Gut

    Auf meinem Nexus 7 läuft die App gut.
    Die gebotenen Funktionen finde ich super, laufen auch genügend schnell.
    Bedienung gefällt mir ausgesprochen gut, sehr übersichtlich.
    Besonders nett finde ich beim Speichern die Nachfrage nach der gewünschten Auflösung des Bildes.

    Deshalb gibt es von mir 5 Sterne, einfach + gut.
