Let\u2019s face it!<\/p>\n\n

This Trending Photo Editing App is for those who don’t want to use apps that have too many professional features with an enigmatic interface and a high learning curve. Either we don\u2019t have the desire or the money to buy those expensive apps amongst the Adobe Suite, for example, Lightroom<\/a> (preferred software for professional photographers). If that\u2019s the case for you but still want to polish your images, allow me to offer an alternative.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

You must be familiar with the name \u201cSnapseed.<\/p>\n\n

About the App\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n

Developed by Google LLC., Snapseed is a free photo editing app <\/a>that enables you to take your decent pictures to the next level. Snapchat is among the Trending Photo Editing App for Android as well as iOS. It is famous for its simplicity and limited but efficient features. As it is free, you must give it a go.<\/p>\n\n

Modern smartphones have the unique ability to click stunning photos. As a matter of fact, many mobile phones market themselves as having\u1e63 amazing camera lenses. Every photographer knows that clicking the image is only half the way to winning the battle. Half of it depends on the image photo editing<\/a>. Editing is a fundamental part of the photography process, as it can turn good shots into stunning imagery.<\/p>\n\n

Let’s get into the features!<\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

Visualizing<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n

Snapseed has an amazing feature that allows you to compare the edited version of the image with the original one. A long press on the image takes you to the original one. Once released, you come back to the edited one. This way you can gradually proceed through your editing and determine whether the edit is necessary or you need to undo.<\/p>\n\n

Looks<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n

When you open an image on Snapseed, it automatically takes you to the looks tab. Just like Instagram, you get a list of filter-like looks. It is a bit comprehensive than Insta and makes some pre-determined edits on the Image as per your convenience.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

If, you are new to photo editing and want to change your photos look immediately, this is the best option. This can be helpful in some cases, but the downside is you cannot manipulate the level of changes you want to make. You have to accept the edits it makes( I don\u2019t prefer using them because of this reason).<\/p>\n\n

Tools<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n

Coming up to the most essential part, the place where you come after getting disappointed due to the inability to manipulate pre-defined edits in the Looks tab.<\/p>\n\n

When you open the second tab called \u201c Tools \u201c, it opens up a sub-menu of different functions you can use to edit your photos. With many adjustments, especially with the editing of the photo itself ( And not something like color or filter). Snapseed offers auto adjustment where it adjusts the editing according to the app\u2019s understanding ( In techy words \u201c AI of the app). Else, you can adjust it yourself at your convenience.<\/p>\n\n

I am listing down the most essential of them which come in handy.<\/p>\n\n

Tuning Image<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n

This is the most used feature of the Snapseed app. It allows you to change the visual elements of your photo. The brightness, contrast, saturation, ambiance, highlights, shadows, and warmth are the key factors that can be adjusted in the tune image section.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

The mode of adjustment is through sliders where you can move the sliders in a positive or negative direction with the sliders on 0 by default.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Crop and Rotate<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n

The standard cropping tool allows you to change the aspect ratio to 1:1, 3:2, 4:3, 5:4, 7:5, and 16:9 frames, as well as the option to freely crop your image. Aside from crop, you can rotate your images to automatically straighten it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Perspective Tool\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n

This tool allows you to manipulate and edit the perspective of your image. By tilting the image – by tilting it vertically, horizontally, or by using the free moving direction. This tool is apt if a slightly tilted image kicks your OCD badly. Adjust your image – Get satisfied – Be happy!<\/p>\n\n

Healing\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n

Healing is one of the tools which can be incredibly useful and equally frustrating at the same time. It basically erases one part of your image which you don\u2019t want to appear in the final product. It is as simple as zooming in and selecting the spots or regions which you want to remove. Snapseed will automatically cover up the selected region considering the nearby surrounding. If it is not desirable, nothing to worry about! Just undo and do it until you are satisfied.<\/p>\n\n
