The Healing tool can be a bit tricky because Snapseed automatically chooses the area from which to select the cover up. To do that, open the Healing function in the Tools screen, zoom into the area you would like to cover up and simply tap or drag your finger over that area. For example, in the photo below I would like to remove the two cars in the background so the focus of the photo is on the landscape. The healing function can help you get rid of any unwanted parts in the photo like people, cars, buildings or anything else you want to remove. One of the coolest but trickiest applications of Snapseed is the healing function. To crop a photo, simply hold down your fingers and move inwards until you receive the desired look.
Cropping to a vertical photo can also allow you to get rid of empty space that doesn’t add any value to your photo. Here is an example of horizontal versus vertical photo edited using the Crop function under the Tools screen options. If you post horizontal or square photos, you’re losing out on 58% or 48% of the area versus a vertical 4:5 photo, respectively. A vertical photo will always show more detail and space than a horizontal or square photo and is much more likely to catch the attention of the viewer. The optimal size for an Instagram post is a vertical photo with a 4:5 ratio (1080×1350).
In the example below 100+ ambiance has been applied so it’s very bright and uplifting. By swiping to the left, the picture will have less light and color but more contrast. By swiping to the right, the ambiance function will instantly add pop to the photo by brightening it, adding more color and removing contrast. If you don’t want to mess with brightness, color, and contrast on your own, try the Ambiance function under the Tools screen. The Ambiance is sort of a “catch-all” function in Snapseed. In the photo below +80 contrast was added to make the trees colorful and dark which draw the eye to focus on the white waterfall in the middle. Then scroll your finger to the right to add contrast or to the left to make your photo look more washed out. It will stand out more in the Instagram feed and will attract more likes and reposts.Ĭontrast is a great function to use if your photo looks washed out and you would like to add more depth to it. To add contrast, select Tune Images under the Tools screen and scroll your finger up or down until you land on Contrast. By adding more Saturation under Tune Image options and swiping to the right, the photo looks a lot more lively and dreamy. For example, let’s look at this photo of Painted Hills in Oregon. Just the right amount of saturation can make or break a photo. However, overdoing color and saturation can also backfire – the trick is to add color to the pictures without making them look too fake or edited. Posting colorless pictures on Instagram won’t draw the eye and will get lost in the feed. With a simple edit, you can enhance a photo to have the perfect vacation beach vibe in just a few seconds. Below is an example of a photo before adding brightness and after adding 90+ brightness in Snapseed. Once you select the Brightness function, swipe your finger to the right to brighten your photo, or to the left to darken it. To brighten your photos on Snapseed select Tune Image under the Tools screen and swipe your finger up and down to find Brightness function. Pretty easy, right?Īccording to a research done by Yahoo Labs on 7.6 million Instagram and Flickr photos, the results show that most people like exposed, bright and cheerful photos. From there you can select the editing functions and swipe your finger up and down or left to right to edit your photo. This will lead you to the main Tools screen. To get started on Snapseed, click “Open Photo” on the main screen, select the photo you want to edit and click the pencil mark on the right bottom corner. Let’s cover some of the top Snapseed features and how you can use them to make your Instagram feed look stunning. Besides the standard editing functions like brightness, crop, and contrast, Snapseed is also loaded with extra cool features like the brush, ambiance, and perspective.
It is extremely self-explanatory and easy to use, which has led to its high popularity. Snapseed is one of the most downloaded photo editing apps available for iPhones and Androids.
