Mendr makes getting your photos edited as easy as using an app

Chances are that at some point in your life wished you could fix something about an image that you didn’t like — hair in your face, wrinkly clothes, a random photobomber, etc. Mendr is a new app aimed at helping you get those changes made by a photo editor with hardly more effort than it takes to call an Uber.

Mendr works by connecting a pool of talented photo editors with people who need imaging edits. All you need to do is download the app, select the image you want to be edited, say what needs fixing, and as Mendr puts it, “editors will take care of the rest.” Users can also just send images to Mendr and let the editor decide what needs to be done, a nice feature for those who know they want an image to look better but don’t know specifically what should be fixed.

Mendr | A Designer's Dream

Mendr isn’t just an opportunity for people wanting their images edited either, it is also a potential income stream for photo editors looking to pick up more work. In essence, the service is being pitched to photo editors similarly to how Uber pitches to potential drivers. Editors can set their own hours by logging in when they are ready to work and unlike other sites, there is no bidding process. The editor just looks through the available jobs, selects any that they want to do, and they are then able to start working. Getting paid from Mendr will be easy as well through simple Paypal payouts.

Editors will also be able to build a profile and other Mendr users will be able to request them specifically for an extra fee that the editor sets. Mendr also gives the editor 100 percent of that additional fee, which they say will allow editors to build up a following and loyal clients and make more money.

Whatever your needs in regards to photography, be it having your images edited or making some extra money editing, it seems the app is an interesting opportunity to service both needs. Mendr is available for both iOS and Android, and those interested in becoming editors can learn more about it on the editor recruitment website.

Google Photos: The best tips and tricks
Google Photos tips feature image

Google Photos is among the most popular cloud-based photo storage and backup apps for both iOS and Android. It combines cloud storage, image hosting, and image sharing in competition with popular services like iCloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, and a host of others. It also stores HD videos up to 1080p and supports Apple's Live Photos.

Not only can Google Photos provide a historical repository and immediate backup for every shot you take -- both from your smartphone and other digital cameras -- but it also facilitates the immediate clearance of precious storage space on your phone. Since its launch in 2015, it has been free of charge for everyone with a Google account. You have the option of paying extra for high-resolution photo storage beyond 16 megapixels -- after you hit Google Drive's 15GB storage limit -- but a lot of smartphone camera photos still weigh in at less than that.

this new canon photo app has a neat trick up its sleeve culling

With smartphone cameras now so advanced, most of us ditched our compact cameras long ago. The ease with which we can fire up a smartphone camera and take a snap means many of us are now taking a lot of photos. That's all well and good, but unless you’re a stickler for photo management, you can quickly end up with masses of subpar images that take up a large chunk of your phone's storage space.

With that in mind, Japanese camera giant Canon has come up with a new app for iOS designed to automatically whip your photo library into shape.

How to make group calls on your smartphone in WhatsApp
WhatsApp

With more and more of us engaging in family-style video chat and voice conversations, WhatsApp comes in handy as a safe and secure option for small groups limited to four participants. Unlike some audio, video, and chat apps, WhatsApp keeps your conversations private with end-to-end encryption.

With WhatsApp voice calling, you can call your contacts for free, because the app uses your phone’s internet connection as opposed to your cell plan’s minutes -- though data charges may apply.
