One of my favorite feature in Lightroom is the HSL tab. Snapseed has some awesome features like Double exposure, expanding a picture, HDR which I seldom use since they are not present on Lightroom. I rather prefer using the RGB curves and they are present on both the application. Now, both of them have essential features for tonal adjustment like Brightness, Contrast, Highlights etc. It would really help if they were categorized or neatly stacked up. On Snapseed, I feel the editing options are cluttered and vaguely distributed. Now let’s get on to the main business, the real editing part. Lightroom tries to match its UI to the desktop variant so the existing Lightroom desktop user would find it easy to edit on the mobile version. Lightroom has come a long way in terms of UI but it would never be as user-friendly as Snapseed.

You can tap on each option and use the slider to increase or decrease the effect.
To toggle through the menu, you have to slide your fingers up and down.įor Lightroom, you have the editing options at the bottom of the menu. To apply an edit, you have to slide your finger left and right. The editing is super slick and gesture-based. This is important because you need to preview the picture while you are making changes to it. In Snapseed no matter what menu you are on, the entire picture is visible to you. Now coming to the actual photo editing part. You can also make albums to categorize your edits and photos. If you are just starting out, it would be difficult to figure out options in Lightroom. The camera app helps you take RAW photos and also has a full-fledged manual mode. Adjacent to that is the inbuilt Lightroom camera application. You can import your photos in Lightroom by clicking on the add picture button at the bottom floating bar. If you are not familiar with the Adobe ecosystem you will need some time to figure out how to start editing. Lightroom, on the other hand, has a non-intuitive UI. Once finished, you can use the Export tab to save your edited photo onto your phone. Tools tab has all the necessary editing tools offered by Snapseed. Styles is where you will get pre-defined templates which you can apply to the picture.
As soon as the picture loads, you get 3 tabs at the bottom: Styles, Tools, and Export. You can open only 1 photograph at a time. Snapseed has a minimal interface and you would instantly get along with it. So an ideal editing app should be well-designed with almost all the features just a tap away. You don’t want the user to open the app and juggle around for an hour just to figure out the application.
User Interface is no doubt a major part of any smartphone application.
