Some of the early

camera phones

did little more than take a picture. There was no flash, no editing and it was difficult to share too. Those days are over though, because the

camera on your Android phone

has lots of functions, including some basic editing functions. In this tutorial, we'll show you how to

edit photos on your Android

using the basic editing features provided.

You don't need to fire up your software editor to do simple

cropping and resizing

. With the online

Picnik photo service

you can freeform crop, crop to a bounding box to make pictures a certain dimension like 4x6" for printing, you can even set a cropping ratio like 4:3 or 16:9. It's also easy to

resize pictures

for posting to the Web, sending via email and so on.
