#Snapseed instagram how to#

Successful Instagram feeds typically have a consistent feel to them (and know how to use hashtags), and most users are editing their pictures in some way to create a consistent look to attract new followers. TIP: If youвЂ™re wanting to change ANY setting after you think the picture should be done - no worries - you can change OR DELETE any editing layer you just made! Find the button in the top right corner (looks like a stack of two papers and a backwards arrow), and navigate down to вЂњView Edits.вЂќ This will show the list of edits you just made, and if youвЂ™d like to delete or adjust any of these settings, click which one you want to edit and adjust or delete as necessary!ДЄs always, find out what technique works best for you - Snapseed is your friend once you can understand the basic settings! This could have to do with the time of day I take the pictures, whether I use color on my spreads, the angle of my phone and more, but these are my general guidelines. I always just click вЂњSave.вЂќ This will change the picture in your photo album, but anytime you open the same picture in Snapseed, you can still change past edits.ДЄll of my pictures are taken under the same lights and with the same white background, but they all differ when IвЂ™m editing on Snapseed. This will NOT apply the same selective edits, but will apply your tuned image edits, and exposure brushes (I always have to delete the Exposure layer if I do it this way).Д©.В Save by clicking Export, then Save. TIP: If IвЂ™m editing a lot of similar pictures taken at the same time - after opening the second picture IвЂ™m editing, you can click the icon in the top right with the stacked squares and backwards arrow - then click Apply Last Edits, and work from there. It works very well when you are zoomed in editing! You simply brush over the spot with your finger, and Snapseed tries to adjust the pic to blend the spot into whatever is around it. If there are any spots on your picture that youвЂ™d like to get rid of, use the Healing setting! This helps me remove background corners, dog hair, and accidental pen spots on my images. This is where I increase the saturation, and I will adjust contrast, brightness, highlights, and shadows if needed.Д§. Go back to Tune ImageВ and adjust to your liking. See the pic below to see what IвЂ™m talking about. Copy/paste this spot to ALL spots you want to be whiter.

You can click on this dot, and select вЂњCopyвЂќ to apply these edits in more spots on your picture.

You will notice that this does not help the whole photo, only the selective parts.

(Optional) Increase contrastВ a little if it looks ok.

Decrease saturation ALL the wayВ (-100%).

In this selective dot, increase brightnessВ (about 25% or so to where it still looks ok, but not blown out).

I use this to adjust the color of my journal (from off-white pages to make a more white look).

Open вЂњSelectiveвЂќВ вЂ“ this is a tool that will select certain spots of your image that are all the same color.

Save by clicking the bottom right check-mark.

ShadowsВ вЂ“ I usually decrease this a little bit.

HighlightsВ вЂ“ Increase until not too high (balance this with brightness).

AmbianceВ вЂ“ It depends on what IвЂ™m looking for, sometimes I bump it down, sometimes up.

BrightnessВ вЂ“ I bump this up about 10-30%.

If it looks bad when you adjust, bring it back to center & start again.) We will come back to these settings at the end.

(Slide your finger up and down to switch between settings.

Keep in mind, you can come back to change or delete any settings at the end if youвЂ™re unhappy with the result.
