Adobe Photoshop Express app for Windows 10 is available for free. This app is quite simple but has very useful tools to help you enhance the images. It comes with a crop tool to help you select a specific area and cut the extra area. What’s special about this crop feature is that you can rotate the image in any custom angle and then crop the image.
This app also provides a lot of free filters to help you add beautiful effects to your photos. A one-click Auto-Fix feature is also there using which the image can be enhanced automatically in just a single tap. Further, you can set the contrast, use red-eye removal, adjust white balance, etc. Before you save the final image, you have the option to compare final image with the input image. The comparison can’t be done in the side by side view mode. You need to press n hold the View Original option and release the mouse cursor to view output image. This way, you can compare the images.
So, if you want to just do 1 touch tweaking to your photo, add some filters, and do some basic edits, then you might prefer to go with this app, instead of using full fledged image editor software.
