:sparkles: Editing Apps :sparkles:

:sparkles: I selected a lot of the best apps among all of my editing apps, and if you haven't seen them yet they are up above! Also I would consider myself to know a lot of the best ones mainly because I have searched a lot for good free editing apps. I've basically tried them all once at some point. So I will be telling you a little about each app from my list! :sparkles:

:sparkles: Pixlr :sparkles:

:sparkles: Pixlr is one of my all time favorite editing apps, I use at least one effect for each and every edit I make, mainly sharpening lighting. It's so incredible and I definitely reccomend it if you're just starting out! This app has LOTS of effects and editing tools. It's hard to explain in one whole tutorial but here's some main things you'll find. You will find lots of effects, frames, stickers, as well as text fonts although I don't prefer using their fonts. This is the main app I started with and it's quick to learn if you stick to it! The bottom scroll bar is where you'll find your effects and everything you'll need. There is circle looking button that you can press with brightness, overlay images/pngs, and stuff like that. Another important thing I overlooked while starting the app is when you choose an effect, you can erase the effect so it's only on a certain part. This might seem a little confusing at first, but you'll get the hang of it. The eraser icon will be at the top left corner when you select an effect, frame, picture, etc. (also no app watermark) Rating: 5 stars :sparkles:

:sparkles: Phonto :sparkles:

:sparkles: This in my opinion is THE BEST font app. I use it for almost ALL of my fonts on my edits. The app has lots of fonts in it already, but you can search different free font s on the internet including the Taylor fonts. Such as- Satisfaction, Copperplate, Sudestada, Bebas Neue, Kabel-Light, and fonts similar to Taylor's handwriting. For Taylor's handwriting this is my favorite I've found- http://www.dafont.com/taylorswifthandwriting.font more of my favorites include: New Romantics font and Chasing Embers font. Also you can change the color of the text, make pngs with plain png backgrounds, and make the background fade. It's hard again to explain ALL of the features but if you mess around with all these apps you'll get the hang of them. This app can also be used for filters and square cropping.

:sparkles: PicsArt :sparkles:

:sparkles: I know this app is a very popular one and I use it all of the time now. I will say it's a little more difficult to figure out but again it's simple compared to some. After I started using it more and more I use it all the time and I figured out all the effects. Literally its my all time favorite editing app cause it is like an upgrade from pixlr. There are LOTS of fun filters and lots of effects in the app to use. Add Photo and Shape Crop are parts I use the most. I love this app so much! (also no app watermark) Rating: 5 stars :sparkles:

:sparkles: Eraser :sparkles:

:sparkles: I know there are lots of png/cutout/overlay image making apps but this one is free and easy to use. If you look up eraser in the App Store it is the one by "SUNWOONG JANG" (I know weird name but that's what the app company's name is) I highly recommend this app for making pngs, it's the easiest to use out of all the png-making apps I've tried (also no app watermark) Rating: 5 stars :sparkles:

:sparkles: PhotoGrid :sparkles:

:sparkles: PhotoGrid is a very good collage app, and a great app to start with along with Pixlr. It's easy to use, and there are lots of filters, stickers, and so on. I use this pretty often and it works great. Also there is an app watermark but you don't have to pay for it, when your making the edit just tap the PhotoGrid logo in the bottom right of the edit and tap the X, this removes the watermark. Rating: 4.5 stars :sparkles:

:sparkles: Repix :sparkles:

:sparkles: This is a very great app for simple additional effects to your edits. I only use it for the drawing effects tool, and it works great! I've been using it a lot recently! (also no app watermark) Rating: 4.5 stars :sparkles:

:sparkles: Tools/Pngs :sparkles:

:sparkles: Now that you have apps to use, there are lots of tools and pngs you can overlay on your edits. You can find pngs all over the Internet by searching "Taylor Swift Png" Or you can make your own by using the app I mentioned. I will be including in the gallery a few good tools you can use to edit. (I do not own any of these. Also these are only some because I can't add all of mine in, you can look up lots of different editing tools on the Internet) To use them you go to Pixlr, and click the circle icon on the bottom. Next top right click the overlay image, then choose the tool and select the overlay image effect you would like! (This also works for pngs) If you don't use superimpose like me, and you want a free way to get backdrop shadow in circles/rectangles/squares I will have some in the photos below :sparkles:

:sparkles: More Tips :sparkles:

:sparkles: There is this app called We Heart It that has TONS of high quality photos of Taylor that are awesome to use in edits. I also use wallpapers off of the Internet for backgrounds to my edits. And don't try to copy others edits! Find your own style of photos to use, style in editing, and most importantly have fun and be original! Find your own style in editing that you love! I've been working on this Favorite for a long time and I hope this helped you! :sparkles:
