== TOOLS, FILTERS AND FACE ==
• RAW Develop – open and tweak native camera files; save non-destructively or export as JPGs

• Perspective – fix skewed lines and perfect the geometry of horizons or buildings
• White Balance – adjust the colours so that the image looks more natural
• Brush – selectively retouch exposure, saturation, brightness or warmth
• Selective – the renowned 'Control Point' technology: position up to eight points on the image and assign enhancements. The algorithm does the rest magically
• Healing – remove the uninvited neighbour from a group picture
• Vignette – add a soft darkness around the corners, just like a beautiful, wide-aperture would do
• Text – add both stylised or plain text (38 predefined styles)
• Curves – have precise control over the brightness levels in your photos
• Expand – increase the size of your canvas and fill up the new space in smart ways with content relating to your image

Ratings and Reviews
Really great app
Aside from being free, I love the apps UI is touch optimised, I can swipe up and down to change between parameters within a tool, makes the interface a lot cleaner and easier to use and progressively learn, instead of bombarding me with a whole of tools.
I do 90% of my edits in Affinity, but occasionally it’s nice to have a handy tool to import a photo to the photo and tweak it on the fly. I’m not really one to use a whole lot of preset filters and never buy those in app purchases, so having an app with intuitive tooling is really nice.
One suggestion I will make is to have the photos extension so I can open a photo directly from the Photos edit menu and perform edits (in contrast, the import/export/save options are really the noticeably worst experience of the whole app)
Great App
I love Snapseed photo editing tool and use it constantly on both my iPhone and my iPad. It is not over complicated and is so easy to use. It can make almost any photo look great. This review would have certainly been a 5 star rating except that I have recently bought a new Apple Mac M1 and prior to purchasing the laptop I had read that Snapseed was available for Mac OS. I was so excited to be able to use Snapseed and be able to edit my photos on my Mac M1 laptop only to be bitterly disappointed that it is not available on Mac OS after all. Please tell me a Mac OS compatible version will be released soon. 🙏 No other editing app comes close to the usability of Snapseed, my favourite photo editing tool.
Incredibly useful freeware
It took me a while to figure out the workflow (everything seems to revolve around Apple’s Photos app whether you like it or not) and discover the tools e.g. increasing canvas size is done with ‘Expand’, if the canvas size is not big enough use ‘Expand’ repeatedly until satisfactory etc. I’m incredibly grateful that this very comprehensive app is made available at no cost unlike the 900 other photo editors on the App Store demanding ruinously expensive subscriptions. Note: Apple’s Photos app has most of the editing tools you usually need but it is not initially obvious how to access and some tools eg Canvas Size appear to be absent. Overall Snapseed is very, very handy to have around 👍
