While Google Play with lots of fancy apps is included with most of Android phones or tablets, it is not all that easy for Kindle users. Although Kindle is also Android-based, it has its own app store powered by Amazon. Unfortunately the latter counts much less apps to offer which makes it difficult for Kindle users to get some popular Android apps on their eBooks.
No workaround is needed with Pho.to Lab since both of its versions (PRO and Free) have been added to Amazon Appstore!
Several weeks ago we have released the redesigned version of Pho.to Lab PRO for Android. Nevertheless, the most of you use free version and your time has finally come! Starting from today you can download the brand-new version of Pho.to Lab 2.0 for FREE!
The major change is, as we mentioned above, the completely re-designed interface. Large previews for categories and templates are added for you to find the right effects faster and instantly see any given effect in detail . Another usability change is a quick navigation bar available from any screen (except of home screen where it is not necessary). Navigation bar helps to easily switch between groups, access the home screen or select your Favorite effects.

Emotions often show more than words can say. So why not pin a shot of yourself over your photo instead of making up a description of your feelings every time? That’s what has been engaging our minds here at Pho.to for quite a while and that’s exactly what our new app for iPhone called phoTWO is for.
In three steps you get the collage that tells your friends the whole story: where you are, who you are with and how you feel about it (OK, not the whole, but very close to that, right?). Easy as 1-2-3: ‘one’ lets you take the main picture, ‘two’ brings you to the front camera for the next “emotion” snap and ‘three’ enables you to do some editing and save the result.

The time has come and the brand-new version of Pho.to Lab PRO is already available on Google Play. Such things do not happen every day, so we believe it’s well-worth mentioning what great new things you should expect from Pho.to Lab PRO 2.0.
The major change that came to Pho.to Lab PRO 2.0 is the completely re-designed interface. First of all large previews for categories and templates were added for you to find the right effects and explore new ones at once. Another usability change and a plus for the Pho.to Lab PRO 2.0 is a quick navigation bar. Now it became easier to switch between groups, access the home page or select your Favorite filters.

How to become a tester
If you are reading this post, you must love taking photos. Do you know how to make your favorite shots stand out of the hundreds of pictures you have? You must have stumbled upon advice to use rule of thirds, diagonals or negative space. But mastering these techniques can take years.
Do not worry, there is a special ingredient that can make any of your photos look outstanding. Change a picture’s color saturation, add a few shades or change the focus area and you will see that the photo has improved dramatically. Don’t worry, it’s really easy! You don’t have to master Photoshop or GIMP and spend hours working on a photo. Pho.to knows some trusted post-processing techniques, so this site will help you improve your photos significantly in a single click. We have selected 6 different effects, and each one of them can change your photos in its own unique way. However, the common traits of these techniques are their high quality and versatility.
It is always exciting to release an update for the whole group of effects, since we think of it as of a major update. At the moment it’s all about one of our (and hopefully yours too) favorite groups named ‘Featured Sketches and Paintings’, that has been enriched with optional artistic backgrounds.
Thus every effect in the group is now available in 2 variants: you can either get your drawing as is (on a single sheet of paper) or put it into a realistic background (on a sketch board, in a sketchbook, etc.).
Sometimes the only thing a photo lacks is a little bit of emotion. If you are one of those people who do not take their photos too seriously, there are plenty of ways for you to play with face photos: change face expressions, apply realistic emotions, warp the face making it look freaky or turn a photo into a cartoon to boost the fun. It can be done right in your browser with just a couple of clicks.
First of all upload your photo to Cartoon.Pho.to. You can either choose to upload it from disk or via URL if the image already exists somewhere on the Internet.
When the image is uploaded, the cartoon filter is applied to it by default. Here is an example:
At this point you get access to face morphing options that enable you to create animated photo caricatures from face photos. Just check the ‘Face morphing’ box and you will see the list of available emotions. Meanwhile a ‘Smile’ already appears on the face:
Move further and you will be able to make a person flirt, wink or raise eyebrows in surprise!
