Once the image is imported into my camera roll, I just need to open Snapseed, and hit the 'open image' button, then select the photo that I want to adjust. Once connected, images on the attached media appear on the iPad's screen and can be imported, either individually or as a batch. The Camera Connection Kit consists of two adapters: one to connect a digital camera via USB and one to connect an SD card. I did this using Apple's optional Camera Connection Kit. The photograph I want to work on is currently sitting on a memory card, so the first step is to import it into my iPad's 'camera roll'.
Step 1: Importing and opening your photograph Share and print finished images wirelessly straight from iPadįor the purposes of this quick review, I've created a basic example workflow, from importing an image onto the iPad, and opening it in Snapseed, to the finished version, after adjustment.Auto Correct function for quick auto-adjustment of color and exposure.Customizable 'grunge', 'drama' and 'vintage films' effects filters.Black and White adjustment with customizable grain and contrast filters.Universal white balance, saturation, brightness, ambience adjustments via 'Tune Image' palette.U Point technology for precise selective exposure and color adjustments.On paper at least, Snapseed is impressively well-featured. For that price you get U Point exposure, contrast and saturation control, as well as more conventional cropping and rotational adjustments, plus a range of effects filters and frames. At $4.99, Snapseed is by far Nik's cheapest payware, even if it is one of the more expensive photography apps on the market right now. Two of the most popular: Silver Efex Pro 2 and Viveza 2, cost $199 each, and the complete collection, which contains all of Nik's various plugins for Photoshop, Lightroom and Apple Aperture, costs $599 - not much less than Photoshop CS5.Īt first glance then, the price of Nik's new Snapseed application for the Apple iPad looks like a typo. Nik's plugins have an excellent reputation, but they're not cheap. The unique selling point of Nik's software is the company's U Point technology, which allows you to make precise exposure, contrast and color adjustments to various user-defined control points in an image.
The chances are, if you're a keen photographer, that you will have come across its range of Photoshop and Apple Aperture plugins, and it is Nik's technology that drives Capture NX/NX2 - Nikon's flagship image manipulation software. Although hardly a household name, Nik has been making software for digital photographers for years.
