For instance, with Grunge filter's texture strength, what's the texture of in this case? Nik offers video demos on its website, but having an explainer in the app itself would be more useful.Īnother drawback is that you can't zoom in to images to finesse the details. Oddly, Nik offers no in-app guidance on how to understand the changes a filter or enhancement may make. Surprisingly, Nik goes far to make its software accessible to all, but in truth, there are many adjustments that only photo enthusiasts may understand, such as tuning image ambiance or structure. From the top level, only Google+ gets one-touch billing for sharing your image via social media - Snapseed's equivalent of a hosted server, and not surprising, given Google owns Nik Software. When using just your finger, it's a lot easier than Photoshop Touch's lasso tool.ĭepending on the device you're using, Snapseed can save images of up to 16 megapixels, more than most competitors. Using U Point technology, you can drop control points around a certain part of an image, and apply edits to that selection. When you first select any of the enhancements, a splash screen comes up, overlaying the instructions of what to do with your fingers - a convenient feature that eases the way into this new touch interface.Ĭlick to EnlargeThe most innovative feature of Snapseed remains Selective adjustment. Nik does a great job of introducing its interface. A gauge shows the adjustment made below the image, as well as on the image itself, spelled out numerically. This approach keeps the interface uncluttered and free of the intimidating bits - which is helpful for those not versed in the black art of image editing.
The pop-up box looks attractive, with oval-shaped and colorful buttons that appear to have drawn influence from Apple's iOS design. You can swipe anywhere on the screen to activate these options, but it's best to swipe in the gray space around an image - that way, your finger won't cover the pop-up box or the changes you're making. And once you select which option you want, you'll then slide left to right to adjust that enhancement. For most of the tools, you'll swipe up and down to call up a pop-up box in the center of the image, with further enhancement options. It quickly becomes obvious that Nik has rethought image editing for a touch universe. The newest features are filters for adding a vintage look to your image (dubbed Retrolux in the Snapseed universe) and an improved Frames filter. It would have been helpful to have these clustered together as adjustments and creative enhancements, just as they are on Nik's website. Select any of these 14 editing options, and you'll start making adjustments to your pics.
