At the top I have an open button, a save button, and some other little widgets for understanding layers and things that are going on. You need a histogram to do accurate adjustments. The image on this iPad looks different than the one on my phone, which of course looks very different on the computer. And without it I don't know if I've adjusted an image enough. I love having a histogram on my portable image editor. In the lower left hand corner I have a histogram. There's simply my image and a toolbar and a couple of other little widgets and gizmos. It's got a typical interface to your images just like any of the other image oriented apps on your device will have. What I like about it is it has a very streamlined interface that is really well designed for what you do for a touch interface, for using your fingers, but it's also go some exceptional editing tools that are great no matter what the interface is.

Even if you're not editing cell phone images, if you're moving images from a real camera into your tablet and editing them Snapseed is the way to go. It's got some really great features, it's got some new features that have only been added in the last six months or so, and it's something that's really worth knowing about if you do any editing on your tablet or cell phone.

And realized that I never really just taken you all the way through Snapseed. And I've mentioned it in a lot of places here in the Practicing Photographer and in other courses. There is one image editing tool that I think shines above all the others and that is Snapseed, which is now sold by Google, it's actually free. There are lots and lots of editing tools out there and there are a lot of good editing tools, but in the end I kind of always come down to the same one.

Shouldn't be any surprise to you when I say that these days most of us do most of our shooting with our cell phones, which means that most of us do a lot of our image editing on our cell phones or tablets.
