With an image open, you have four main options displayed below it: Compare, Revert, Save (which apparently always saves a copy of the original rather than overwriting it), Share. The play pen is right next to the collection of image filters.
You see some choices, you ask yourself what you want to do with this image and, well, you play. Another on the right offers Help, which includes a clever Overlay system (available for any filter too), online help, online videos, support contacts and more. A button on the top left of the menu bar invites you to Open an Image. They're just a collection of options for any photo you select in either your Photo Library (from either the Camera Roll or Photo Stream) or directly from the device's built-in camera. And the names make the functions pretty obvious: Auto Correct, Selective Adjust, Tune Image, Straighten & Rotate, Crop, Details, Black & White, Vintage Films, Drama, Grunge, Center Focus, Organic Frames and Tilt-Shift.īut they aren't hidden in some menu. There's already been one such release and it didn't cost anything. Filters are displayed on the left side of the screen in landscape mode or the bottom in portrait mode. The company can add features just by releasing a new plug-in, which shows up as a filter. And we just haven't gotten to HDR Efex Pro either, shuffling that off to an HDR project that has been delayed by camera reviews.įor Snapseed, Nik Software seems to have tossed nearly all of that into the pot and stirred.Īs editing software, it enjoys a remarkably simple framework. Our own preference is to fiddle with the image ourselves, rather than pick a preset, so we haven't written much about Color Efex Pro or Siler Efex Pro. Over the years, we've praised Nik Software for its sharpening technology and its U Point technology while enjoying its library of preset effects for both color and black and white work. We spent a few weeks working with Snapseed on an iPad 2 and, frankly, it's software we could live with. Other than Adobe, we were glad to see Nik Software bundle up its marvelous editing technology into a little app called Snapseed. So you have to have a collection of them.įortunately some of our favorite desktop tools are migrating their way to iOS and Android devices. But the rap is that they mostly do one or two things right. And we can't pretend to have any sense of their relative merit. There are, of course, a lot of tools on the iPad. Turns out there are more powerful tools on the iPad, too.
