About this app

Finally, you can take the photo you actually meant to take! Lightleap (formerly Quickshot) is an ultralight professional raw HD photo editor that proves you no longer need to be a skillful photographer to take amazing photos.

Let’s face it - your photos don't always come out the way you expected. You pull out your phone to capture something awesome, but the photo you take just doesn't do the scene justice. The background is too blurry, the lighting is just all wrong, or maybe the scenery needs a retouch – something only an experienced editor can do, right?

The Lightleap, one of the best HDR photo editing apps, is here to change that! With this professional raw photo editor app, you can capture the beauty and magic you see with your own eyes – or enhance it. You become the editor with filters, effects, and retouch tools at your fingertips.

There’s no need to spend hours pulling your hair out as you learn how to use professional editing software. The Lightleap ultralight image editor app takes moments to retouch your photos into eye-catching images with professional vibes, using stunning pre-set filters and vintage effects.

With unique, easy-to-use features like background Sky, Heal, Effects, Filters, and Looks, every photo you take from now on will be picture perfect. If you’ve dreamed of taking Instagram-worthy images to inspire the world, this is your chance.

Don't even bother with this app. The app is far too expensive on both the monthly and annual purchase price. The trial offers very few limited options, And most of the things you CAN do, you can't apply it because you can't proceed until you pay a monthly or annual fee. This app had promise, but honestly for the price theyre charging I can't recommend this to anybody. I'm sure the app store has something similar to this, without the price tag.

The Free to use tools are VERY limited. They include Magic, around 23 filters, a handful of overlays and elements and you can also adjust the detail and colour levels. Anything else is unfortunately locked behind a pay wall. Also I used the 'Heal' tool to remove a fan from the background of a picture to see what it would look like (you have to pay to then accept or save your changes) and it honestly looked awful! I'll stick to photoshop thanks, thats much better value for money in the longrun

I haven't check it too much but what I was interested in was the eraser. On Instagram story it looked like you could erase people/things you don't want in the picture. Well, I did it and it doesn't actually fix the background as nothing was there only if you do it with objects that are placed further in the picture. I am not sure about how good other features are, but I will stick with the Photoshop Express.
