Edit Your Smartphone Pictures with Snapseed
Snapseed is a wonderful photo editing app that works for both iPhone and Android smartphones. It can be downloaded for free from your app store. It is designed for editing not only JPG, TIF, and similar images, but also for RAW images too. Note: a RAW image is a much more robust entity than a JPG image, and it’s the format to use if serious digital editing is needed.
It should be mentioned that all images can benefit from at least some work in a photo editing program. At the very least, dark areas should be made lighter and light areas made darker. In addition, images should often have their colors made more accurate, sharpness intensified, and contrast increased. And what most people don’t realize is that editing is almost mandatory for making a picture look the same as what the naked eye originally saw.
Snapseed does this and much more. Here are a few of its features:
You will be receiving a very complete handout when you arrive. It contains lots of information, and will greatly simplify the process of understanding what’s being taught. In addition, the handout will allow you to spend less time taking notes and more time listening and participating in class. You also will find it quite useful for review after the class has ended
