• White balance – adjust the colours so that the image looks more natural
• Brush – selectively retouch exposure, saturation, brightness or warmth
• Selective – the renown '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 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 of your image

• Frames – add frames with adjustable size

• Face enhance – add focus to the eyes, add face-specific lighting or smoothen skin
• Face pose – correct the pose of portraits based on three-dimensional models
This is definitely one of the best photo editing apps available, almost endless possibilities and you can further edit any preset filters or effects. One thing I would like to see in future updates is the ability to manually select the type of texture from a range of thumbnails. Even though you can keep pressing the texture buttons to get different textures, you never know exactly how many options are available. I've used certain textures in past photo edits, but have never been able to find them again as the texture effects all appear randomly. But overall it's a fantastic app which I use all the time.
It's a level of awesome that Lightroom should aspire to

I'm loving using this as a tool to process my images. The interface takes a little getting used to, but once there it it quite fluid.I find that I'd rather be using snapseed than lightroom these days!I now have my iPad in my camera bag so I can process on the go. So an iPad, Snapseed, small DSLR and Lensbaby is the ultimate artistic mobile toolset. I even have room for another 35mm lens. Mmmmm, photographic bliss!
Difficult to open photos
onato!
This is a great app but it’s integration with other apps is poor. Google Photos has an “Open with Snapseed” button, but it doesn’t work. Snapseed doesn’t have a share extension so you can open images from other apps in Snapseed. I mostly look at photos in the iOS Photos app. Once I have one I just want to edit it with Snapseed, but I have to go into Snapseed, tap “Open” and the search through my photo stream to find the photo again. With a share extension for opening photos in Snapseed it would be the perfect app, but right now it’s a little frustrating.
Puts real professional power into the hands of an amateur...

For anyone regularly taking photos on an Apple device this app is the perfect compliment. There are some professional level but easy to use editing here which can produce some stunning results with very little effort and time. You will not be disappointed with this app...
This is a routine maintenance update. We have improved the app's performance and fixed minor bugs for a better experience.
