DeluxeFX: Video & Photo Editor

I love this app, the features are amazing and always improving! This app has such cool and unique features to really make your picture awesome. My two request/issues with the app are... You have to crop your photos, you can't select what size/shape to edit, they have to be square like Instagram used to be which is unfortunate especially if you're using them to edit photography and it's not just for social media… Also my other issue is that the resolution when you save them is so low that there's a lot of things you can't use them for, so if the app developers are reading this please let us select a shape and have a better resolution for saving, even if it's an in app purchase of $.99 or whatever to get the features. With that said kudos to you developers for making such a fun and useful app. And if you're reading this review deciding if you should download the app, the answer is YES!! 👍

Nowhere in the product description did it mention that the app would reduce the size of your photos. My photo looked great on a retina screen (iPhone 5s and MacBook Pro) and I could see the details of the object very clearly, until it went through this app, then it became blurry and pixelated! I use Mextures as well which is amazing and it doesn't mess with your photo size. With phone screens getting bigger and bigger and more and more people having retina phones these days, it's hard to believe that an app that reduces your photo size to 1024 px dares to charge for money. I'm getting a refund from Apple and I highly recommend that you don't waste your money on this. Even if you think your photos look good on your screen, they are going to look really bad on bigger phones or computers with high-res screens.

DeluxeFx is a colorful and fun to use app! Its filters and overlays can transform a lifeless picture into something magical. It will work best on scenery images such as landscapes and still life. It's best suited for people who are looking for fast and easy editing and like to share their photos on social networks. This app has its limitations and may not be considered a serious editing application like Snapseed, Camera+, Leonardo, etc. It automatically crops an image into a square-no landscape mode or freedom to crop a picture to desired format( major flaw)! Pretty Toy-like-Camera filters have minuscule adjustments (light and vibrance only) and can not be combined. Output resolution is rather low for printing purposes. Personally I don't find filter effects cheesy at all. On the contrary, once you've found a perfect match for your photo, DeluxeFX does wonders!! DeluxeFx is one one those cute apps that's just fun to use for color and vibrance, but not for major editing. I do recommend it!
