If we press it, a new menu pops up, which looks like this: The more astute of you will notice that there is now a little star icon down by the word “FILTER” at the bottom of the screen. Let’s look at a new part of the interface, which many of the more advanced tools come with. So we can see that this has made a slightly more dramatic change to our picture than the automatic tool! Let’s load up the latest tool in the Snapseed arsenal, the HDR Scape tool. Return to the main interface by choosing either the “X” at the bottom left to cancel any changes you made, or the little tick on the bottom right to approve and save any changes you’ve made. Let’s do some more advanced stuff, and make this picture look a bit more exciting.

Easy huh?Īt any point you can press the little image of a mountain at the top right, to compare your changes with the image you loaded into the tool. Right increases the amount of the effect, left decreases it. To change the amount of that effect, move your finger left and right on the screen. The black box at the bottom will have changed name to show which effect you have selected. This isn’t entirely intuitive at first, but you’ll get used to it quickly.
