![]() With all of that said there are two things I would love to see in Snapseed to really put it over the top. WIth Snapseed, I am getting the tools I need to make me reconsider the need for Aperture. I have been considering buying Aperture for a while now because I always have that photo that needs more editing that iPhoto can provide. You will also see controls similar to iOS on where you have control of where on the image a filter occurs. For example, cropping acts like cropping should be with pre sized formats or custom cropping. On occasion the filter will have different controls. You basically click the filter you want to apply and drag the sliders that go with it. Below is the simple to use interface followed by the above photo after applying several filters to it.  There are filter buttons on the left ranging from just cropping or adding “Drama” to a photo.  Not only do you have these great filters, it is extremely easy to use. This includes cropping, saturation, brightness and contrast, etc. ![]() ![]() The edited version only has the basic “tuning” filters applied. Here is a before and after of a photo I edited in Snapseed. In Snapseed you have your basic photo editing filters and then you have the creative filters that can really put pop into your photos. If you want to edit a photo on the Mac and iPhoto isn’t good enough Snapseed can probably give you the tools you need to really make the photo pop. I am happy to report it is just as good on the Mac. No other app edits photos as easily, smoothly, and great as Snapseed. It is fantastic (especially since I picked it up when it was on sale for the price of FREE). Snapseed started as an iOS app and has become the photo editor of choice on my iOS devices. In the case of Snapseed, the answer is “A lot.†When a photo editing application arrives for the Mac for the price of iPhoto I always ask the question “What does this do that I can’t do in iPhoto?†Usually, the answer is nothing and the program is not worth the money.
