How You Can Create And Save Filters In Google’s Snapseed

Filters are custom edits that will work on any picture. They are more experienced than the ones on Snapchat and more welcoming than the ones seen in Photoshop. They aid you to rapidly include a set of effects in a picture without going through the process on each specific image. It is very simple to create and save filters in Snapseed and you’ll agree when you are done reading this.

Some users that use their mobile devices for photography indulge in downloading the photos to their PCs and then editing them in GIMP or Paint.net, depending on the task at hand. That might be old school now that Snapseed is here. It was created by Google and it comes with remarkable features. Simply put, it’s a photo editing app that will continue to stand out.

Snapseed refers to these filters as “Looks.” and they are one out of several tools you get to enjoy on the app to make those pictures of yours more beautiful.

It is available for Android and iOS.

Create And Save Filters In Snapseed

The process is easy and uncomplicated. You make use of one image to compile your filter. That “Look.” can consist of various effects. As soon as you are pleased with what you see, save the filter, name it and then apply to any image with one selection. That is pretty cool.

To come up with a look in Snapseed, get this done:

  1. Open any picture you fancy for edit purposes within Snapseed.
  2. Include your effects and edits until the result pleases you.
  3. Select the Edit icon at the top of the picture. It resembles a box with an undo arrow.
  4. Click Save Look.
  5. Name it and save.

Coming up with a look should not exceed 60 seconds. The main work lies in the creation of images you fancy, and concluding on the effects to apply and when to cease its application.

Making Use Of Your Saved Look In Snapseed

As soon as you have saved your Look, you will naturally fancy finding out how to use it again for other pictures, I get you, that’s pretty easy as well. You can engage in the creation of as many Looks as you desire, just ensure they all have unique names and all will be visible from the Edit menu.

  1. Open a picture you plan to apply your Look on in Snapseed.
  2. Select the edit in the bottom right.
  3. Select My Looks.
  4. Select your Look
  5. Save the picture and apply more effects if that is what you want.

As soon as you select the Look from the My Looks page, it is used on the picture automatically. You can leave it the way you met it or keep editing if you must. If the image is saved, when you are through, it will apply to the picture the same as the original.

Flaunting Your Look

It is an app, so you’d expect it to come with sharing options you can make use of to flaunt what you create. Your filters can also be shared in Snapseed. It is as simple as creating them.

  1. Open a picture you plan to apply your Look on in Snapseed.
  2. Select the edit in the bottom right.
  3. Select QR Look.
  4. Select Create QR Look.

Let the individual you plan to share it with scan the QR code that displays on your screen.
To be able to receive the Look, your pal will have to go through the process listed above, but this time, select QR Look and not Create QR. Then the camera should now open and the person will be able to scan the code. As soon as they are done, they need to save otherwise they forfeit it the moment they close the Snapseed app.
