How I Did It!™ The Magic of SnapSeed; Editing Photos for Android & iPhone!

We are delighted to announce that our highly accomplished Columnist and Award Winning Mobile Photographer and Artist Rad Drew is hosting a webinar for his ‘How I Did It!’ Series on Friday July 16, 2021 and Saturday July 17, 2021.

This webinar focuses on The Magic of SnapSeed; Editing Photos for Android and iPhone!  In this webinar, Drew will review some of the standard processing and stylizing tools, but he will also delve into the following in greater depth:

  • Using SnapSeed’s Develop Mode to process RAW files. Drew has come to appreciate this tool for its simplicity, ease of use, and results. Drew has used it to process infrared images that he has made with the iPhone, as well as ProRAW files created with the iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max.
  • Masking. This somewhat hidden feature of SnapSeed is one of its best kept and most power secrets. Use masking for applying adjustments to only parts of an image. Drew uses it for sharpening eyes in a portrait, or leaving a splash of color in a b&w image. Masking is not rocket science, but it can be confusing until you do it a few times. He will show how he uses it in a variety of ways that may help you master this great tool.
  • Creating composites. Did you know you can combine images in SnapSeed and then use Masking to create wonderful composite images that help you tell your story? Drew will share examples using images from Cuba, Italy, and my own back yard and demonstrate how he create’s composite images.
  • Editing portraits. It is not well known that SnapSeed is great for making edits to portraits such as smoothing skin and accenting the catchlight in eyes, both of which can make your portrait’s sing!And much more! Whether you’re in need of a review or are exploring SnapSeed for the first time, you’ll find a lot to apply in your own creative practice.The webinar will be recorded for repeated viewing.
