Snapseed Features

  • Ability to save personalized looks

Snapseed is an excellent photo editing app created by Google. It allows users to edit their photos quickly and effectively on mobile devices. It has a full range of transformations such as crop, rotate, and morph. Also, you can add post-processing effects like vignette and grain.

There is also a full darkroom, and a range of selective filter brushes. This means you can apply filters to select areas of a photo without affecting the whole image.

Alternatively, you can quickly apply artistic presets to your images to transform them into stylish pieces of art. There is a good selection of B&W filters and other retro styles. The presets can then be edited and fine-tuned for greater control.

Who is it suitable for?

Snapseed is suitable for hobbyists, and professionals who need quick access and editing capabilities on-the-go. For those who extensively use social media, or who don’t always have access to a laptop, this smartphone app is a great choice.

Lightroom also has a full darkroom. You can easily edit any photo parameter like contrast and exposure using sliders. There are also local adjustments such as the gradient filter, graduated filter, and heal and clone brushes.

Who is it suitable for?
