Some other useful photo editor apps not included in this video:

Aviary: Offers several unique stickers, a great option for adding weather effects like lightning or clouds.

Pixlromatic: A simplified version of PicsArt, you can use this app for effect filters and more, but it's uniquely notable for a large selection of borders and frames.

SpaceEffect: Contains several galactic and other colorful stickers to add flashy space-like effects to your photo.

Squaready: A useful app for quickly converting your long or tall photo into a perfect square.

Extra Tips:

1. Generally, you'll want to add a filter over your photo BEFORE adding things like large stickers or watermarks. These can become oversaturated, too dark or too bright much quicker than the rest of your photo.

2. Know when less is more. The effect brushes and filters can be a lot of fun, but overuse of them can drown out what you wanted your photo to focus on in the first place. The app effects should enhance your photo and its subject, not overpower it. The exception will be, of course, if you want the focus to be the effect itself, in the case of artsier shots.

3. If you're having problems with lighting in your shot, whether it be because of a poor light source or camera quality, you'll be surprised what you can improve using high quality filters and adjustments like the ones mentioned at the end of this video.

4. PicsArt's Add Photo option opens up many possibilities for adding just about anything to your picture. So do Google searches! If you want to add a PNG, or transparent image, to your photo, simply search for "item you want to add PNG" on Google. Save it to your phone, and then add using the Add Photo tool. This can be helpful for adding animals, trees, crystals or other fun objects to your photo! Just be wary of using other peoples' artwork or photography-photographers are artists too!
