Photo MAGIC

How many of you out there have taken a picture only realize later that, as you were snapping the photo, somebody totally photo bombed you, there is an ugly light pole in the distance, or a hobo was giving you the finger in the background? All of you, you say? Well, boy howdy, have I got an app for you! No longer will you need to employ this supposed "skill" that people claim to have in photography, nor will you need to "pay attention" when taking photos.

Using what I can only assume is some crazy mixture of artistic skill, math, and black magic, it erases things from photos. Let me repeat: erases them. Now you can remove your crazy ex-wife from your wedding photos all of those eyesores from the background of your family's trip to Gitmo Branson, Missouri. It's super easy to use. Even a caveman could do it!

The app is pretty simple, so I'll let the pictures do most of the talking. The basic idea is that you take a photo from your phone and, using various tools, select the parts of it that piss you off. Those parts then, in turn, cease to exist, leaving you with nothing but good times.

As you can see here, I've poorly highlighted a man sleeping and a something cover behind us that had no business being in my photo. I will erase him by (poorly) using the paintbrush tool and painting his poorly placed self red. When you're drawing with your finger, the app gives you a handy little zoom window so you can see where exactly you're drawing. Nice! Noteworthy: Touch Retouch also offers a lasso tool but, in my experience, it was pretty buggy and the paintbrush tool did the job better. In addition to the lasso tool, there is a clone stamp tool which I never got to use because the app closes itself if you try to use it, really, this is a review of Touch Retouch's paintbrush tool, which is still amazing.

Here, I've employed the eraser tool to hide the fact that I used the paintbrush tool like a man who has had too much caffeine (because I am, in fact, a man with inhuman caffeine intake capabilities). Once I've done that, It's time to hit the "Go" button which, inexplicably, looks like one of those movie-clicky things (I believe that's the industry term). Once you do that...

I think TouchRetouch is an essential app for finishing and improving photos you take. Subscribe and learn more! Thanks
