While smartphones are handy for quickly editing photos, there are a number of advantages to using a desktop or laptop for more in-depth edits.
Editing apps on smartphones generally have fewer features than their desktop counterparts, which limit what can be done on the former.
A phone’s small screen size makes it difficult to view details and carry out precise edits.
Editing for longer periods on a smartphone can prove uncomfortable, causing screen fatigue, whereas a desktop or laptop can be set up in a more comfortable position and at a better angle for editing.
Using a touchscreen for edits can be imprecise, and while using a stylus can help, a mouse or trackpad is often more suited to editing.
Phones tend to distract users easily with notifications, and it’s more straightforward to turn off Wi-Fi or set barriers on a desktop to prevent this.
Desktop apps generally offer more features and flexibility for in-depth edits.
