qFotoEfex 0.9.7.2
Regardless of the platform used to make the modifications, most utilities dedicated to this purpose share some common features, like applying various types of effects and filters.
For those who have at their disposal Windows Phone handset, there are plenty if utilities that provide various options in this respect and qFotoEfex is an app that uses a more original approach.
Well-thought layout, with focus on practicality
The looks of this application are decent, without standing out through any visually appealing elements of graphical design. Occasionally, some prompts to review and rate the utility will appear.
The commands are easy to reach from the menus hosted in the lower part of the app and the changes will be displayed without delay onto the generous workspace that occupies most of the screen.
The modifications are applied pretty quickly, without annoying delays, some filters needing a longer processing time than others due to their complexity.
Capture photos or use saved images for customizing
The utility is ready to help you take snapshots on the spot and have them modified with the effects you think are most appropriate for each photograph. In case you want to tinker with some of the pics that are already stored locally inside your photo folders, qFotoEfex is also ready to help.
The number of effects included inside this app is quite impressing and they cover a wide range of categories, so you can tinker with portrait photos, add artistic filters or give the images a cartoonish look, to mention only a few possibilities.
Advanced editing toolset at a glance
Besides having a plethora of effects in store, this utility comes with a dedicated image editing module, where you can add layer upon layer and carry out a wide variety of complex operations.
The processing will take a long while when many enhancements are to be applied, but the output offered by qFotoEfex will be of excellent quality.
The special filters that can be used in this section of the app are different from those in the above-mentioned area, so the possibilities you have at your disposal are very numerous.
A major source of discontent is represented by the faulty behavior of the sharing function, which crashed the app every time we tried to access it during our tests.
