So far I found the fastest pipeline to get good results is to use Google Photos editor as a Google One subscriber. Most useful tools are Al sharpen, portrait blur, portrait lightong (not always good). Basic color/brightness tools work great.

Although I do miss some functionality like blur/pixelation brush (for anonymysation of faces and/or car plates), adding a png/ image overlay, colour replacement (and overall better grading tools), curves.

What’s do folks use for photo editing on Android?

    I have a Galaxy S23 Ultra. Samsung’s built in tools can do a lot thesedays. Especially if you download Galaxy S Enhance, which uses AI to enhance, erase items, remove reflections etc…

    But I also really like Photo Studio Pro, which I purchased many years ago and am still using.

    I have others, but these two are the ones I am keep going back to. Obviously if you don’t have a Samsung the first one doesn’t help you.

    I also recently bought IMGMI from the Skylar team. It’s very quirky (no undo?!), so I’m not going to universally recommend it, but it is a very powerful AI tool and quite fun to play with, especially if you want to play with sky and clouds. To illustrate what I mean here are 3 photos of mine which I played with in IMGMI that took 2 mins to make:

      Didn’t know about Samsungs Galaxy Enhance - X. The auto-improvement is really good! Thank you for the tip!

        It was just recently released! Samsung’s previous app wasn’t compatible with the latest devices.
