Photoshop vs PhotoFunia

Photoshop history dates back to the distant 1987. The hero of the day for all time of its existence has received 15 full updates and changed beyond recognition. Everything that falls under the definition of "digital image" can be edited by it.

Adope Photoshop is used by professionals to create flawless images for all the glossy magazines. It is an essential instrument of almost every photographer. How it helps photographers? One of the main features of the program is processing of photographs, namely the correction of various defects, and incorrect exposure overbrights, shortcomings of the objects (people, animals, etc.) and much more. Thus, combining the skills of working with the camera and this program, the artist makes an output picture of the highest quality, so that it can be placed on the cover of a glossy magazine.

Photofunia, in its turn, is much younger and its purpose is quite different. Being an online photo editor, it does almost everything for its customers, so that it is just left to upload photos and select the desired filter. A great advantage of PhotoFunia is its accessibility as everything is understandable, graphical user interface is simple, and its user has the ability to quickly obtain quality results. The collection of the web site amounts to more than 30 filters, including:

·         Winter Spirit;

·         Snowy Day;

·         Vintage Shot;

·         Back to 60s;

·         Shining;

·         The Last Warm Day;

·         Lighten Monochrome etc.

Thus, it seems appropriate to conclude that such apps as Adobe Photoshop and PhotoFunia are of different level and designed for different cohorts. Photoshop with its numerous functions and, therefore, complicated interface is a good instrument in professional hands, while PhotoFunia’s name speaks for itself as it is designed for unprofessional users who just want to make funny or creative pictures.

Nowadays, developers are working on making changes to Android and iOS version. Most of mobile app users can already view high definition photographs. As for the desktop version, now it is a secondary issue: all efforts are focused on mobile platforms.
