I had experience using photo editing programs on my computer and phone. For me, the most
convenient is to edit photos on a computer. There are many benefits to editing applications that are
installed on a computer. For example, I want to compare the programs I used. I used "Facetune" on
the phone and "Affinity photo" on the computer. The advantages of "Facetune" are: whitening, anti-
aliasing, background blur, concealer. The downside is that this program greatly spoils the quality of
the photo and important features such as drawing and reshaping are paid. Affinity photo has
features for panning, zooming, color correction, clarity, contrast, light and shadow, toning, layering
and many more useful features for photographers and professionals. Moreover, the large screen
allows you to view every detail of the photo and if you do not like it, retouch it. Usually, computer
programs for photo editing support higher image quality, and on the phone, after photo editing, the
quality deteriorates. Secondly, computer programs always have more tools: layering, whitening,
changing color, changing the perspective of the photo, adjusting light and shadows, and much more.
On phone applications, these features are either very expensive or non-existent. But at the same
time, it is easy for a beginner to get lost in a large number of functions, so of course, it is much
easier to use telephone editors if you are not a professional but an amateur. Phone editors are free,
more compact, and always at hand. So, if I were a professional or a specialist who makes money on
photo retouching, it would be more comfortable for me to use computer programs for photo
processing, because they give me the opportunity to fantasize, experiment, and end up getting good
quality photos. And if I were an amateur who uses editors only to retouch photos for social
networks, I would have enough and a phone editor with less variety of tools, but with all the most
important and easiest to use.
Robberies are very common now, so I've already thought about the actions I will take to
avoid such an unpleasant situation. First of all, I would carry my tablet in a well-protected place.
For example, in the pocket of a backpack that closes with a lock. Thanks to modern technologies,
there are various microchips or applications that show the location of the thing on which they are
installed. I have already downloaded such applications to all my devices. This is a useful thing
because even when I forgot where I have put my equipment, these applications come to the rescue.
It is important never to leave the tablet in a closed car in a visible place, because often thieves break
the glass and take the tablet very easily. Another action to prevent theft of devices, especially in
crowded places, is close supervision. When I enter public transport or a building, I always keep a
bag of equipment in front of my eyes. I had a case when a thief cut the bottom of my bag and took
out pocket money, but he was unlucky because all the equipment and important documents were in
my hands, and in the bag only various trifles. So, to protect yourself from stealing a tablet or any
device, you need to think ahead and in addition to passwords, it is important to always keep it with

you, do not leave the tablet unattended and even if someone asks you to take a minute to call
someone back or reply to an SMS, always be careful or let it be done only by your hands.
