According to Photographers "The best camera is that you are carrying." There is no point having an SLR camera, if at the first opportunity that presents we got the compact camera to take pictures. Under the same assumption in this post I will discuss an application for two different platforms, Mac and iPad. The question is, if we are to bring the iPad to make photos and then retouching that photos or apply some effects on that photos, maybe it makes more sense opt for the application for the Apple tablet.On the contrary, if we are of those who hope to get home to try our pictures, we may further offset application for Mac OS X. And the program in question is none other than FX Photo Studio, a program of basic photo retouching effects and very simple to use, but in turn offers many possibilities and options.

Let's see if I can get wet at the end and stay with one of them. Here we go.

Photo FX Studio Pro for Mac OS X, many options to choose

The version of FX Photo Studio Pro for Mac starts with the ability to import a photo of our libraries, upload a photo directly in the application by dropping it or going to the last pictures we have used. From there, we have the possibility to apply around 172 effects and filters to change the look of our pictures.

Regarding the editing tools are limited to rotate, crop, or adjust some parameters like exposure, brightness, contrast, saturation, temperature, color, color balance, histogram, zoom detail, noise reduction and increase or decrease in shadows or areas. All this in the entire image or a mask you have defined.

Many filters have many options. As a curiosity is the possibility of making the effect tilt-shift or images that appear to be thumbnail with great simplicity. It is also possible to combine results and save them to repeat all the operations later as if it were a new filter.

What we want to share our artwork from the application? No problem, we can upload it to our account in facebook, tumblr., Flickr

The results of the filters are pretty good and allows you in a single application edit, apply effects and upload photos to your social networks. Let the end ease of use and a very good user interface, which makes learning all the possibilities is a matter of minutes of using the application.

Photo FX Studio HD for iPad

If you are going to use your iPad for viewing photos, retouch, and quickly upload them to the internet, you may want decantarte by the version of the application for that device. The operation is similar to his namesake frankly Mac, how could it be otherwise. However, there are differences. Let's see.

The first is that we can record pictures in the folder of the application from iTunes, so that we can process those photos that interest us without before passing them by iPhoto. Other options include taking a picture from your device or rescue the iPhoto album.

If you thought that the iPad version would have less impact, you're wrong. It has 194 effects, rather than the Mac version and you can purchase new effects packages for the application. Well, many effects are common, but it turns out others consist simply of adding a border to the photo, a background overlay, or add a typical ghost or hearts.

Since the iPad version can do much more basic editing, retouching the brightness and contrast, gamma correction and Hue/Saturation. Nothing to play with the histogram, lights or shadows, or sharpen it play with the white balance, etc. We will have to go to the version for Mac

In return, we may share the result in the same applications that the Mac version, adding the possibility to upload it to instagram or copy it to the Clipboard for use in another application of the iPad. If we want to we can also print it from the application.
