I’m a long time fan and user of the online Aviary image creation and editing tools. Aviary recently launched an app for editing Facebook photos. After giving it a test-run (see images below) it is the most effective editor for Facebook photos I’ve seen yet, and very simple to use.
It’s certainly no replacement for Aviary’s advanced apps , but it can be a great additional resource for those times when you’re just looking to do some quick fixes or add some effects without any fuss.
Features
- 10 stylistic photo effects
- 20 infinitely reusable stickers
- 4 one-click auto enhancers
- Tools for lighting (brightness, saturation, contrast)
- Tools for cosmetics (red-eye, whiten, blemish)
- AND MORE!
Straightforward user interface, makes editing a breeze

The lighting isn’t great and the colors are off.
Image after applying some one-click enhancements and the “San Carmen” special effect:
Not a replacement for Photoshop, but overall good results for quick photo sharing
My Wishilist:
I would love to see better color control and the ability to dial-back the intensity of the one-click adjustments.
Try Aviary for Facebook for yourself

Microsoft’s YouTube channel has been usurped by a malicious user. All of the official videos, including recent ad campaigns, have been removed from the account. In their place are short clips soliciting advertisers. (note: as of this writing these short videos have now been removed, and the account appears to be back in the proper hands).
