Snapseed Technique: 5 steps to bring up the photos of Meng Cat

Nowadays, mobile phones are becoming more and more popular, but the photos taken directly are not always satisfactory. Like the following photo, the editor's kitten was photographed, the photos were gray and the color was not good.

The snapseed we use this time is the famed app for iOS and Android, developed by the famous Third-party filter company Nik Software. After Nik was bought by Google, the original charge of Snapseed into a permanent free, thanks to Google!!!

The first icon in the figure below is snapseed.

1. Open the picture

After starting Snapseed, the first thing we want to do is click the camera symbol in the top left corner and choose to add a photo from the photo gallery.

2. Trim picture

Because of this cat photo, there is nothing special about the carpet underneath, plus the 3:2 photo ratio of the editor's custom SLR camera, so you have to cut it first. Select the purple crop icon in the Snapseed, then click the Square on the left side of the aspect ratio, and you can pull out the trim scale selection bar. Click 3:2 and then zoom on the screen with double fingers to control the size of the trim box. When finished, click on the triangle logo at the bottom right to confirm the modification. Click on the image in the upper right corner of the logo, you can preview the effect of changes.

3. Promotion Details

Original photo Because of the backlight reasons, the contrast is insufficient, many details are not prominent. To do this, first enhance the contrast and detail of the picture. We can drag the main interface below the toolbar, to find the blue Sky White clouds icon drama tool. In fact, this is equivalent to an HDR filter.

Click on Open, click on the bottom left of the pentagram, and then select brightness 1 mode. This pattern can greatly increase the brightness and contrast of the picture. However, the photo will also be inadequate saturation.

To do this, we need to press the finger on the picture and move to the slide to bring up the finer level of the toolbar. Adjust the saturation degree. The default value here is +30, which needs to be increased to around +60. When finished, click on the Triangle logo to confirm the modification.

4. Add Filter effect

On the left side of the drama filter, there is a preset photo-style filter tool named Vintage. Click on the open, the same is the click of the pentagram can pull out different filter style. Here we choose to make the photo tone warming 3 style.

Under this interface, sliding down with your fingers can also bring up many more detailed modifications. Here, we want to modify the center size, so as to achieve the effect of increasing the dark angle.

5. Blurred Edge

In this picture, in addition to hiding under the mat cat Sting, the other part I do not want to highlight, so you can choose the Center Focus tool, blur it off.

Point to open this tool, click the pentagram is still the choice of different fuzzy way, here I choose to emphasize the Four Corners fuzzy blur mode, and click on the right of the number bar circle point, which is switching to strong fuzzy effect of the logo.

After you have completed the 5 steps above, you will be able to get a picture that looks much better than the original film. In the main interface, hold the picture with your finger, you can see the effect before the change, we can use this way to compare the changes before and after the photo.
