Tezza: Aesthetic Photo Editor 4+

Still giving this app 5 stars because it’s still amazing, and I know that Tezza cares about the subscribers and everyone who uses it!

I just wanted to flag that there are several bugs throughout the app:

- 9th template under film black: when you do the 4x5 setting and download the image, it doesn’t download as it is shown.
- 9th template under film white: the Polaroid behind the first Polaroid just remains blank.
- 3rd template under sketch: the line for picture behind the first picture sits above the front picture. I think it’s supposed to look like one picture is behind the other picture.
- 4th template under sketch: under the 4x5 setting, it’s forms a square but maybe that’s just how it’s supposed to be given the dimension change. Same with the last template under sketch. (Just flagging in case it’s not supposed to be like!)
- in the regular photo editing area: after I edit a photo, it doesn’t always show the edits in the library.
- sometimes the app crashes, but could be that I have too many pictures/videos in the library that I’ve edited.
- not letting me connect to instagram. Tells me there’s an error. (I was connected before and none of my pictures were showing, so I logged out to log back in. But, this time there’s a problem logging in. I entered my password correctly.)

This app is very well featured and has a lot of controls and useful presets that can produce a very fine vintage look. However unfortunately it is also completely useless since the lack of control over output options means it only outputs a three megapixel file with unknown compression. I’m feeding the app 48 Megapixel Tiff files from my iPhone 14 Pro Max. With output that small there’s really no point in using this app- I can’t incorporate it into my workflow so now I have a subscription that sadly needs to be canceled. Another minor annoyance was not being able to use presets until I liked the company on Instagram- which did resolve itself when I purchased the pro bundle. However again for an app that charges a subscription I shouldn’t have to put up with such small output files and I don’t feel comfortable following a company and liking their IG even before I’ve been able to try the features.

It’s clear this app is geared towards casual users that want a fast vintage look for Insta photos and not serious photographers. Too bad as it’s clear they actually put some real effort into the effects.

I do like their edits, especially for photos shot on a higher end digital camera (honestly don’t like it for iPhone photos - these edits are best on high quality images), but the app is super glitchy. It constantly crashes when I’m in the middle of editing. I’ve edited photos I uploaded to the app and then a few days later wanted to re-edit, but at export it wouldn’t process because it said the source photo was gone. My only workaround was to reupload the original pictures, edit, and export immediately - this is very frustrating. I’ve been now recently trying out their Studio feature and it’s honestly not very intuitive to use and continues to be glitchy, having to constantly restart the app. I’d at least recommend Tezza page create lots of available tutorials on how to use their studio editing tools, but there’s very little useful content out there, and the app does nothing to explain the how to’s. Lastly I wish there was more customization built in to the Vibes special effects.
