I spend hours and hours in trains and or on buses which gives me a lot of time to edit. I spend a lot of my time in Korea on the go. When I get home, usually the last thing I want to do is sit in front of my computer. I am too lazy to get home and edit photos on my computer. I suppose the first reason is as simple as me being lazy. The first question I usually get about this topic is “why?” Seoul, South Korea. I have never really shot RAW so it has never been a problem for me when editing (Snapseed which I will talk about in this post edits RAW for those curious). This isn’t only the photos I take with my phone, but all of the photos I take in general. As most of you may know I edit 99 percent of my photos directly on my phone. iPhone SE.įor a while, people have been asking me to share my iPhone editing workflow. I don’t know why I took this with my phone. After a night of partying in Seoul to start a long holiday I woke up to the news in this motel. I took it the morning my Dad passed away. I started mobile photography with the above photo. I suppose it is a case of tradition versus modernity much like the rest of Korea. I used to hear how Chuseok is a family holiday but it seems like all the families are here in this cafe, ha. Sitting in a coffee shop it feels a bit weird. It is kind of like Thanksgiving for those of you who aren’t up on your Korean culture. These filters are very easy to use, and once you’ve added one filter, you can always add another for an infinite number of results.Chuseok here in Korea. You can adjust for the transition, blur, brightness, contrast, and saturation, so you can make sure that the focus looks more natural than jarring. But what I really love about Snapseed is its Center Focus and Tilt-Shift features. The Black & White editing tool lets you choose between five different color filters that alter the way the black and white image is rendered. The filters names are more silly than descriptive-for instance, my favorite Vintage filter is Dexter, which gives a light green/gray tint to an image. For example, you can change the texture of the filter and adjust texture strength, saturation, brightness, vignette, and filter strength. But Snapseed gives you the power to make fine adjustments to each filter, so you won’t get that cookie-cutter feel. The options in Vintage and Grunge are most similar to options available in other photo-filter apps such asĪnalog. You’ll find filters in the first four categories each has at least six preset filter options. The app’s Creative Adjustments are organized into seven categories: Black & White, Drama, Grunge, Vintage, Frames, Center Focus, and Tilt-Shift. Snapseed’s forte is those filters and special effects. (Of course, you aren’t restricted to editing your photos in this order.) After that, it’s all about the filters and special effects. Once you’re done with the basic edits, you can crop and straighten your photo, as well as use the Details tools, which include Sharpness and Structure. (You can still tweak the sliders manually to make adjustments.) This is also where you’ll find Nik Software’s signature Control Point feature, which lets you make selective edits to your photo. You can also choose from six presets: Automatic, Neutral, Dark, Bright, Balanced, and Moody-each gives the image a slightly different tone or coloring, and when you click one, you’ll see the sliders move accordingly. You start with Tune Image, where you’ll find sliders for brightness, contrast, saturation, shadows, ambiance, and warmth. The editing features are organized in an intuitive order that’s generally how you’d approach editing an image.
