Snapseed is one of the most useful Android applications. Because this application has a lot of photo editing equipment and complete. Frankly speaking, sometimes it just makes us confused. Don't worry, we want to discuss the most useful photo editing tool at Snapseed.<br /> <br /> Yes, maybe you have read Snapseed tips & tricks before this. Here, I try a different approach. What I use here is the basic photo editing feature only. Without fancy filters.<br /> The goal is quite simple. That makes photos more pleasing to the eye. At the very least, it won't be embarrassing if you send it to Instagram.<br /> Well, the cool thing about the photo editing tool at Snapseed is that the changes are smooth. This makes the photo still look natural. Not very visible "digital effects".<br /> <br /> 1. Tune Image<br /> Tune Image contains equipment to adjust the basic lighting in photos. Starting from the brightness, saturation, to warmth. If you want your photos to look better - especially if the filters or automatic settings are less fun - you should try Tune Image.<br /> For example, as a tropical country, outdoor photos in Indonesia tend to have high contrast. One way to reduce this is to adjust the highlights and shadows in the Tune Image.<br /> <br /> 2. Crop<br /> Everyone already knows the function of the crop. With this tool you cut the area of the photo as you wish. Can be with a certain ratio (square, 3: 2, 4: 3, etc.) or free.<br /> Crop also carries other functions that we rarely realize. While cutting the area of the photo, we can adjust the composition of the photo. For example, placing objects according to the help line.<br /> In addition, you can also put objects so "bigger". It's better to use crop than to shoot with digital zoom.<br /> <br /> 3. Details<br /> Details is an interesting photo editing tool. With Details, we can better emphasize the shape of objects. I like this tool because it can sharpen photos smoother than HDR effects (sometimes excessive). Although different, you can get effects similar to photographs by Dave Hill.<br /> There are two choices there. What I usually use is structure. Although sharpening is also useful, I don't use it very often.<br /> <br /> 4. Tonal Contrast<br /> Tonal contrast provides further contrast in highlights (bright light) and shadows. With this tool, you can show the shape and details of objects even further.<br /> All you need to practice when using this tool is to distinguish bright lights (highlights), middle (middle), and shadow. Also pay attention to details that might be lost when setting it. For this use Protect Shadow / Highlight.<br /> <br /> 5. Vignette<br /> This tool will provide a transparent, dark bright gradation from the edge of the photo to the center. Very useful to provide dramatic effects. The fun thing is that at Snapseed we can adjust the location of the midpoint of the vignette and its darkness.<br /> <br /> 6. Portrait<br /> Portrait is a filter that will make faces brighter. This tool will recognize the face in the photo, then increase its brightness, while slightly darkening other areas. Very useful for giving focus to the face.<br /> Of course you can adjust the elements. There is a Face Spotlight to make a bright face, skin smoothing to soften the skin, and eye clarity to clear the eyes (who knows red eyes due to staying up late).<br /> That's the photo editing tool on Snapseed that I find most useful. By mastering these tools, you can also learn more about how composition, lighting, color, and detail work in photography.<br /> <br /> One thing I need to remind. Don't overdo it. Keep the photo so it looks natural. If you look too "digital edit", the photo can lose its appeal. Unless you really aim at "graphic design" like making promotions on Instagram, etc.
