There are countless apps that people can use to alter their photos, to make themselves look tanner, younger, or their food look more delicious. But what if that's not what a user wants? Now, there is an app with a different type of editing, that isn't purely meant to make something look different, but to create something new. With the Bazaart app, photoshop quality is no longer just for the professionals.
Bazaart allows users to get the next best thing with their app. Users can create art with a few taps of their fingers, and it's free. With Bazaart you start by choosing photos, taking photos, or adding texts.
Users can use their own photos, search a Bing web image, or they can use some from Bazaart's provided categories. They have photos under the categories of backgrounds, social networks, photography, fashion and home. Under backgrounds, users can choose from love, solids, gradients, patterns, paper or textures.
Under social media, they can connect with Facebook, Instagram, Google Plus, Flikr or Etsy. Photography includes abstract, animals, black and white, city and architecture, concert, family, film, food, still life, people and many others.
The fashion and home categories are unique because not only can users use the pictures for their collage, but it is also connected to Gilt Groupe's Fashion and Home Decor items. It shows users what website to go to in order to find the item, and how much the item costs.
The app also tells users when sales end on the item, and it gives a short description on what it is. Once users have selected all of the different photos, backgrounds, objects and writing they want to use. Then, comes the editing.
Users have the option to flip, copy and change the opacity of each image. If they want to change the shape of a photo, or just use a portion of the photo, they can use the cutout feature.
This can remove the background of the photo. This feature includes an option to select which part of the photo they want to keep, which part of the photo they want to remove, or auto, if they want the app to do it for them.
This part is surprisingly accurate, and is usually easier than doing it manually. Once the users are done, they can post it and choose a channel that they think it should go under.
These include photomontage, selfies, funny, celebs, animals, fashion, nature and holidays and events. This way, when people click on those sections, they may find the collage.
Bazaart Ltd. is an Israel-based start up company founded in 2012 by four entrepreneurs: Stas Goferman, Uri Kogan, Dror Yaffe and Gili Golander. The Bazaart app is available for free on the iPhone, iPad and in the App Store. Now, users can share not only just filtered photos with their friends, but also edited masterpieces that can be different every time.
Photoshop programs can be expensive, and although this app doesn't have all of the features a computer program would have, it meets basic photo editing needs.
