Photo editor for Android – Take a look at these tips, tricks, and solution you can use to make your life much easier with your devices whenever problems arrive and complications which you may find difficult to deal with.
Retrica is a super popular application. Basically, what you can do with it is apply effects or filters to a scene, in real time or “live”, and if you like the result, capture the photo or video and save it on your cell phone or share it on social networks.
It is ideal for taking selfies thanks to its dozens of vintage effects, all available totally free. Besides photos and videos, you can also create GIF images of a few seconds, and collages of several photos and in multiple formats or presentations.
It is available for Android and iPhone. You can download Retrica since the official website O from the Play Store. You can download the Retrica APK from apkmirror.com, which is the most reliable place.
Some controls that you will see in Retrica:
To switch between the front and rear cameras, you must double-tap on the screen or use the on-screen button. On the other hand, in the settings you can choose to activate or deactivate the geotag or geotag (it saves the geographic location where the photo was taken, in its exif information).
Where are Retrica Camera photos saved?
You will find them quickly in the Gallery. In my case they are saved in the internal memory, DCIM> Retrica directory.
From creating effect photos bokeh even running the application on the PC or hiding the photos from the gallery, these are some basic tricks of Retrica for Android, the ultra popular camera application for selfies with real-time effects, which currently has more than 100 million downloads on Google Play.
1. Take photos with the volume buttons
Yes, you can with the volume up or down button. And it does not matter if you are using the front or rear camera: it works the same in both cases.
2. Selective focus with “bokeh” effect
The button with the shape of a “drop” allows you to highlight objects in a photo. For example, focus on a person’s face and blur the rest of the image (bokeh effect). You can not only choose the focus point but also enlarge or reduce it through the «zoom» gesture.
3. Interval between photo and photo
Retrica can take a sequence of photos and put the result together in a single image (Collage). The app takes one photo after another automatically every X seconds, but this time can be changed or disabled so that the user can take each photo when ready. This option appears when activating a collage layout.
4. Smoothing filter
Just tap on the screen to show the brightness bar that allows you to vary the intensity of the filter.
5. Exclude photos from Gallery
In order for Retrica photos to NOT appear in the Android gallery, you have to go to the Retrica folder (/sdcard/DCIM/Retrica) with the help of a file explorer such as ES File Explorer, and add a new file to that folder with the name .nomedia
6. View the place or location where a photo was taken
If “Location” was activated on the Android phone when taking the photo and the “Geo-tag” option in Retrica, you can see where it was taken using an application such as “Photo Exif Editor”, available for free on Google Play. This app also shows other EXIF information of the photo such as the time, resolution, camera model, aperture, flash, etc.
7. Retrica for PC
Retrica is an exclusive application for mobile devices, but there is a way to run it on the PC using the ARC Welder emulator for Google Chrome (this article explains in detail how to do it). Don’t be fooled: there is no official version of Retrica for PC. Clones on the web like photoretrica.com or similar are just that: clones.
Previously, to unlock all Retrica filters and remove advertising, you had to pay for Retrica PRO, the paid version of the app, which was an internal purchase. Due to the large number of similar apps that appeared, the developers ruled this out. Now there is no PRO version. The Retrica app (just), from version 2.8, already has all the filters totally free, which are around 100.

Instagram, B612, Candy Camera and Camera360 are just some examples of applications similar to Retrica, which can be downloaded for free from the Play Store.
