Photo editing apps are a dime a dozen on the Android Market, however, it’s a little difficult to find a “good quality” application that will allow you to perform a number of operations seamlessly and effortlessly with online services and those you love the most. In steps Lightbox, a popular photo capturing and editing application that gives you a big bang for your buck, especially because it’s free. Lightbox allows you to take regularly taken photos and enhance them like never before. In addition, you can organize and then upload them to a Lightbox community timeline very much like post cards, something that’s setting the service apart from most right now.
Photos you share publicly will also get posted to your very own Lightbox website that other users can follow. You just focus on taking photos, and we’ll automatically create an attractive timeline of photo postcards for you.
You have the option of keeping them private or choosing who gets to see them and have access to them. There is also an online interface for you to interact with all of your photos. Lightbox.com offers safe storage for all your important snapshots and thus being in the cloud, you can quickly and easily download them onto any device that supports the application. If you’re ready to give it a try, hit the break for the download links and to check out more offerings and info from the developer. There’s also some screen shots and a quick video of how the service works. Feel free to leave your comments and thoughts about the app below as well.
From The Developer:
PUBLISH YOUR OWN TUMBLR-LIKE PHOTO BLOG:

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.)
