Handy Photo 2 features three major advances over the previous version: An interface overhaul that is designed to make the app more accessible and friendlier to users of various photographic skills; the ability to select and apply edits to discrete parts of a photo; and a new edge-aware brush that facilitates more accurate selections.
Handy Photo caters to a wide variety of skill levels ranging from the Instagram enthusiast who just wants to apply grungy filters to their photos, to those who have experience with fine-tuning their images using an array of common adjustments.
Handy Photo
Helping Handy Photo stand out from the crowd is a handful of tools that lets you remove, clone, and move objects in your photos, along with a reverse cropping feature that lets you extend the edges of your photos.
After you snap or load a photo, Handy Photo's main menu is accessible in the upper-right corner. Tap on the button and a dial appears that you can use to scroll through the various edit tools. You'll see standard tools such as Tone & Color, Filter, Textures, and Frames. These four tools are fairly straightforward, so let's spend our time together going over the other four: Magic Crop, Retouch, Clone Stamp, and Move Me.
With Magic Crop, you can "uncrop" a photo. That is, you can extend the frame beyond the borders of a photo, and Handy Photo will fill in the space outside the frame to match what is inside the frame. In testing, I found that Magic Crop isn't perfect but it's close; the developer recommends you use this tool on photos with natural landscapes and uniform or repeated backgrounds to get the best results. To use Magic Crop, select the tool from the upper-right menu and then you can either drag an edge to reposition it, or you can drag from inside the frame to drag the entire image. Using the Magic Crop menu in the lower-left corner, you can change the photo's orientation and rotate it.
The Retouch tool undersells itself. This isn't a tool to erase blemishes or redeye; this is a tool that removes entire objects from your photo. It's your weapon against photobombs. To use it, select the tool from the upper-right menu and then choose either the lasso or brush tool to highlight the object you want to remove. With the brush tool selected, a menu slides out from the right side, offering a button to adjust your brush radius. After you have selected the area to remove, simple tap the photo and -- poof! -- the object is gone. Again, you'll need to experiment to get the best results. You can pinch to zoom, for example, to make fine adjustments.
With the Move Me tool, you can move or copy objects in your photo or move an object to another photo. Like the Retouch tool, you can select an object with a lasso or brush tool. After you have your selected area (highlighted in red), the Move Me tool has a useful button on the right edge to optimize the selection. That is, it shrinks the highlighted area to the edges of your object. Below this button are two buttons, one to move the object and one to copy it. The object is saved in a new layer, and you can then drag it to a different spot in your photo.
After your object is saved in a new layer with the Move Me tool, new buttons populate the menu on the right edge. You can use these buttons to duplicate the layer, merge the layer to the photo, or move the object to another photo.
In the upper-left corner of Handy Photo is a static menu with a button to see a timeline of changes that you can return to and button you can tap and hold to see the original photo, and undo and redo buttons. To save a photo, open the menu in the upper-right corner and choose save.
More than twenty photo filters are at your disposal, including Black and White, Bleach Bypass, Color Standout, Cross Process, Dramatic, Duotone, Fog, Glow, Golden, HDR, Halftone, Ink, Lomo, Old Photo, Polarization, Polaroid, Sepia, Sketch, Smart Contrast, Tilt Shift, Tiny Planet, Vignette and Vintage.
Wrapping up, my initial impressions about Handy Photo are mostly positive: the app enhances your mobile photography arsenal with advanced features like TouchRetouch and AntiCrop and a rich set of textures, detailed color and tone balance capabilities, interesting new filters and frames.

The small investment that this paid app requires is more than worth it if you're after an editor that lets you retouch, alter, and apply filters to images with ease through an intuitive interface.
Outstanding smart features: Handy Photo's intelligent Magic Uncrop feature for expanding photos and straightening crooked horizons works wonderfully with most images. These are features no other similar Android image editor we know of has right now.
Intuitive interface: The round, wheel-like menu and submenu look great and are easy to use, putting at your disposal all the essential editing tools you need for enhancing photos. Screen space is used effectively, so that you can focus on the image, itself.
Practical: From its quick buttons for viewing the editing history and comparing the original with the edited image, to the helpful tool tips and straightforward video tutorials, this polished, optimized app makes mobile photo editing a joy.
Handy Photo stands out as one of the most powerful yet accessible image editors for Android, impressing with its outstanding features and overall design. It gets the job done with style. That said, the price this app pays for its ease of use is a lack of manual adjustables, which professional photographers may miss.
