Enhance your photos using these great UWP apps

There are dozens of UWP photo editors in the Microsoft Store. If you are creative enough, you can render a completely amazing look from a rather uninspiring image. Image manipulation on a mobile device is as easy as on a PC, and thanks to the Universal app platform, you can use one app on all your Windows 10 devices. Here are some of the best UWP apps to edit photos:

Afterlight

This powerful photo-editing tool lets you enhance your images by tweaking the basic settings, applying filters, textures and frames. Select a photo from the Camera roll, or snap a new image using the camera, then tap on edit. The app allows you to adjust exposure, saturation, contrast, brightness, temperature, and more. You can make the photo sharper or grainy, and use vignetting. After you change some parameters, you can tap on the before/after button at the top to see the difference. There are many original filters you could apply, free and paid textures, frames and fonts. Tap on the save or share button and you will be able to select an image size – small, medium or original.

Back to the editing tools, load a photo from the camera roll and then start playing with the settings. Among the conventional filters, Photo Box Pro also has Auto Enhance, Auto Levels and Auto White balance which work quite well. You can unlock many additional features and remove the ads for $5.99.
