Free Trials and Previews: Offer limited-time trials or previews of premium features to all users.
In-App Promotions: Use in-app messages and notifications to promote premium features and their benefits.
User Education: Include tutorials and tips that show how premium features can enhance their photos.

a. Home Screen Integration:
Add a "Premium Features" section on the home screen.
Highlight benefits with icons and brief descriptions.

Clearly distinguish premium tools with a special icon or color.
Provide a "Try Before You Buy" option when a premium tool is selected.

Introduce new users to premium features during onboarding.
Offer a first-time free trial for premium tools.
d. In-App Purchase Prompt:
After using a premium feature, prompt users with an option to purchase.
Include a comparison chart showing benefits of premium vs. free features.
