Lightbox Photos
Description: Lightbox is a community of people from around the world sharing their unique experiences through photography.
EXPLORE THE LIGHTBOX COMMUNITY:
Check out http://lightbox.com/explore to find & follow interesting Lightbox users from around the world.
MANAGE YOUR PHOTOS ONLINE & WEB GALLERY:
All the photos you take with the Lightbox app are automatically turned into a timeline of postcards on Lightbox.com. You can keep these photos private or selectively share them with friends, family, or the entire Lightbox community.
PUBLISH YOUR OWN TUMBLR-LIKE PHOTO BLOG:
Photos you share publicly will also get posted to your very own Lightbox website that other people can follow. You just focus on taking photos, and we’ll automatically create an attractive website for you.
Example: http://joshmo.lightbox.com
FACEBOOK & TWITTER PHOTO GALLERY:
You can add Facebook and Twitter tabs that display photos shared by your friends on those social networks. (Twitter photo sources supported are Twitpic, Yfrog, Lockerz, Mobypicture, and Instagram.)
WE UPLOAD PHOTOS TO FACEBOOK, NOT LINKS:
Unlike PicPlz (which only post links back to their website) Lightbox will upload your photo into a Facebook album so you can tag your friends and easily make it your Facebook profile photo.
ENHANCE YOUR PHOTOS WITH PHOTO EFFECTS & FILTERS:
Make your photos memorable with our free one-click photo effects, including:
Instafix (color correction), Ansel (high contrast black & white), Lomo (Russian toy camera / vignette), Testino (enhanced color depth), Retro camera (70s old film look), Redscale, Cross Process, B&W, Sepia, Cyano (blueprint), Portia, Fisheye, Dotty, 8 Bit, Georgia, Sahara (Vintage camera effect), and HDR (simulates high dynamic range imaging)
IMPORT YOUR EXISTING PHOTOS:
You can import existing photos from your phone’s gallery by going to the My Photos tab and tapping on the “Import photo” button in the upper left. This allows you to share photos saved from photo editing apps such as Pixlr-o-matic, PicSay, Little Photo, and Photoshop Express.
INTEGRATES WITH OTHER CAMERA APPS:
You can use Lightbox with your phone’s built-in camera app or other camera effects apps such as Vignette, Camera360, and Camera ZOOM FX.
THE OLD LIGHTBOX CAMERA IS NOW A SEPARATE APP CALLED QUICKSNAP:
We’ve released the camera that was included in older versions of Lightbox as a standalone app called “QuickSnap Camera.” Once installed, it will become one of the camera choices in Lightbox. (Go to the “More from developer” section to get QuickSnap.)

Lightbox Photos is yet another photography sharing App on Android.
What distinguishes Lightbox photo from the other photo sharing apps are a few options.
- How the photos are displayed on the “Spotlight” page. The “Spotlight” page creates a collage of photos of different sizes.
- Photos are sorted in a lot of categories. They can be sorted by geographical region, style, featured users and more.
- User photos can also be viewed on the Lightbox website.
One minor flaw is the photos take a little longer to upload.
Lightbox is one of the best photo sharing apps. A lot of filters, cropping options, upload options, and users.
