EDITING WITH

SNAPSEED
When opening up snapseed, you’ll
see this screen.

Tap anywhere or hit open and you’ll


be shown the next dialog.
From here, you can select a recent
picture from your camera roll, or go
deeper into your camera roll by
tapping “Open from Device”

You can also take a picture and


import it directly into Snapseed.
Once you hit “Open from Device”
you’ll see this, you can go to an
album if you have that set up, but I’m
going to scroll until I find an image I
want to edit.
When you first open an image, the
screen defaults to the Looks tab.
All of these presets work well but
since we’re going to emulate pinhole
photography or the halo effect, we’re
going to focus on the tools tab.
First we select the “Black & White”
tool.
Your picture will now be B&W.
If you swipe your finger down or up,
this window will appear and you can
go between brightness, contrast, and
grain.
Swiping to the left or right will
increase or decrease the effect
selected.
After applying the B&W tool, we
need to play a bit more with the
contrast of our image.
We’re going to do so using the
curves tool like we have in class.
The curves tool allows us to
precisely control how different
sections of our image look
compared to the levels tool in
Photoshop.
This should look familiar.
Play around with the dots but keep this in mind.
- The right dots affect the whites and highlights,
they should stay above the line usually.
- The left dots affect the blacks and shadows and
should stay below the line usually.
- The middle dot (if you place one) affects the
midtones and can go above or below the line (This
is similar to brightness.
After our two edits, it’s time to
finalize our image by cropping and
saving it.
Select the crop tool.
The rectangle at the bottom changes
the cropping option, there are
squares, 2:3, 4:5, 5:7, and 16:9.

I’ll be using 4:5 for mine.


Time to save. Tap Export.
Select Export and you’ll have a new
image and the original will be
untouched.
