What Is Snapseed and How Do You Use It?

Snapseed is a free photo editing app for Android and iOS. In fact, it is one of the best photo editing apps on iPhone and Android. A couple of years ago Snapseed was acquired by Google and it has only gotten better since then.

Snapseed’s UI can be a bit intimidating at first. But spend a couple of minutes with the app and you’ll soon master its gesture-based interface. The app is laid out in a simple manner. Open a photo first, then tap on the Tools button to reveal more than a dozen different editing tools.

1. Start by Tuning the Image

Once your image is loaded, you’ll see three buttons at the bottom: Looks, Tools, and Export. Using the Looks option you can switch between available filters or make your own. Since we’re focussing on editing, tap on the Tools button and select Tune Image.

Tune Image consists of basic image editing features like brightness and contrast. Brightness will be selected already. You can swipe right to increase it and swipe left to decrease it. The numerical value of the brightness will be shown at the top.

To switch to another tool, just swipe up or tap on the Tools button in the bottom bar. Tap on the image and hold to see the difference between the original image and the edited one.

The Tune Image Tools

The following tools are available in the Tune Image section:

Brightness: You can use this to add light to a darker shot, or tone down a shot that was overexposed. However, decreasing brightness in overexposed shots will instantly bring out details.

Contrast: Contrast increases or decreases the difference between the darkest and the lightest parts of an image.

Saturation: Increasing the saturation makes the colors more vibrant. Use it if you want the image to pop.

Ambiance: Ambiance lets you adjust saturation and contrast at the same time.

Highlights: Highlights helps you edit the intensity of the brightest (lightest) areas of the image. So, if an image is overexposed or overly bright, reduce the highlights.

Shadows: Shadows does the same thing as Highlights but for the darkest areas of the image.

Warmth: Warmth adds either a warm orange or a cool blue tint to your entire image. Using this tool you can instantly turn a bright orange sky into a cool blue sky.

To capture and bring out more details, try capturing photos in RAW format (and here’s how to shoot RAW photos on your iPhone).

2. Play With Structure and Sharpness

Go back to the Tools section and tap on Details. Here you’ll find two editing options: Structure and Sharpening. These tools work best if your photo has a texture element to it (like wood or rust).

The Structure tool will help you add a wow effect to your photo but make sure you don’t overdo it. The Sharpening tool will improve the details of some photos but, as a side effect, it might add grain to the image as well. Use both tools cautiously and zoom in on parts of the image before you make changes so you can ensure that there is no loss of quality.

3. HDR Scape Is a Game Changer

HDR Scape is a tool that will have an instant visual effect on your photo. It works best with shots of nature and/or people. After you select it, you’ll see that the image has an incredible amount of detail and the colors are overly saturated to make them pop.

You can adjust the filter strength, saturation, and brightness from here. If you think it’s a bit overdone, you can go back to the Tune Image tool and tone things down after applying the HDR Scape.

4. Add a Vintage Feel Using Grainy Film

Grainy Film filters can be a good way to add a vintage effect to your photos. Even if you choose a sublet filter and keep the strength on the lower side, you can still get a good effect
