Almost any modern smartphone on Android OS is equipped with camera modules - both the main ones on the rear panel and frontal. The last for several years is most often used for selfie - self-portraits in a photo or video. Therefore, it is not surprising that over time there are separate applications designed to create selfie. One of these is Retrica, and we will tell about it today.
Photographic filters
A function that has made retriends one of the most popular applications for selfie.
Filters are imitation of the visual effects of professional photography. It is worth paying tribute to developers - on good camera modules, the resulting material is a little worse than the real professional photo.
The number of available filters exceeds 100. Of course, it is sometimes complicated to navigate throughout this manifold, so the filters that you do not like, you can easily turn off in the settings.
Separately, it is worth noting the ability to disable / enable both the entire group of filters and some kind of separate.
Shooting modes
Retrica is different from similar apps the presence of four shooting modes - ordinary, collage, gif animation and video.
With usual everything is clear - the photo with the filters already mentioned above. It is much more interesting to create collages - you can make a combination of two, three and even four photos, both in horizontal and vertical projection.
With GIF animation, too, everything is quite simple - an animated picture is created for 5 seconds. Video is also limited by duration - only 15 seconds. However, for rapid selfie this is quite enough. Of course, each of the modes can be applied a filter.
Fast settings
A convenient option is quick access to a row of settings, which is carried out through the panel above the main application window.
Here you can change the proportions of the photo, set the timer or disable the flash - simply and minimalist. Nearby is the transition icon to the main settings.
basic settings
In the settings window, the available number of options is small, relatively with many other camera applications.
Users can choose the quality of the photo, the front chamber by default, add geotegs and turn on auto storage. A poor set can be explained by Retrica specialization on selfie - White balance settings, ISO, excerpts and focus are completely replaced by filters.
Built-in gallery
Like many other similar applications, there is a separate gallery in retriever.
Its main functionality is simple and simple - you can view the photo and remove unnecessary. However, there is in this utility and your own chip - editor that allows you to add Retrica filters even to third-party photos or pictures.
Synchronization and cloud storage
Applated application developers provide cloud service options - the ability to upload your photos, animations and videos to the program server. Ways to access these functions three. The first is to look at the Item "My Memories" of the built-in gallery.
The second is just pulling up in the main application window. And finally, the third way is to click on the icon with the image of the arrow to the right at the bottom while viewing any material in the gallery of the program.
An important difference between the retriever's service from other storage facilities is the social component - it is rather a photo-oriented social network, like Instagram.
It is worth noting that the entire functionality of this supplement is free.
