I’m still exploring the app and pairing it with other tools to improve my images and develop my editing style. Luckily, all tools in Snapseed can be used with precision and control. Editing should enhance the photography, not completely alter it or its subject. When I first started, I would click in and out of tools, making adjustments and not saving the changes using the checkmark in the bottom right corner.

Apply the same aesthetic to different photos to curate a featured collection.

However, I also used the Healing tool to correct some sun damage on my leg. Here’s another example of increased saturation. Don’t overdo the saturation, though, or the colors will start to “bleed.” Before After To do this, go to Tune and then select Saturation. Plus, brightening up pictures a bit makes sure your post doesn’t get lost in the feed or algorithm sauce. In this image, I really brought up the saturation to make my makeup colors pop and give my followers those summer vibes. Other things I also did to this photo are define the texture of my hair and increase the overall brightness and saturation of the picture. Placing the tool on my teeth I increased the brightness to about 33% – simple! To do this, I chose the Selective tool on Brighten.

In this picture, I was able to whiten my teeth because they had lipstick on them – oops. Here are my favorite tools and how I’ve used them: So far, with my limited knowledge, I’ve totally transformed a JPG or raw files, and get it popping on the timeline. I’m not going to lie, I don’t even know what some of those things are but they sound fancy, right?Īnd, by the way, I fully plan to explore all of the features and give you the full report. I’m going to tell you about my faves in just a sec, but can we talk about the fact that Snapseed has: lens blur, brush, perspective, white balance and HDR scape! It has 29 features that are so easy to use but make you feel like a pro in the making. Snapseed is a photo editing app and a total game changer for a beginner editor, like myself. So, that’s why I’m in L O V E with Snapseed. First of all, I love photography but I’m not good at editing – like, at all!
