ampteam: AMPt Darkroom - Start Expanding Your Editing Options On Android with “Negative Editing” In today’s tutorial we’ll be focusing on a technique called “Negative Editing”. Negative editing is unique in that it effectively expands the filters and effects available to you during the editing process. This is especially handy for Android users who are limited to a remarkably small catalog of photography related apps. While much of this lesson will focus on the “Negative Editing” technique, the bigger message here is to “think outside the box” as we encourage you to change how you look at (and use) your existing apps. Read the FULL TUTORIAL where Jacob shows you how to double the filters and effects available in your editing arsenal without adding a single app. You may never look at editing the same again after reading today’s lesson.
