How To Use The Selective Tool In Snapseed From Google

Learn how to use the Selective Tool In Snapseed From Google. The Selective Tool is one of the most useful features in Snapseed from Google for landscape and travel photographers. The Selective Tool allow us to target changes to the Brightness, the Contrast, the level of Saturation, or the Structure to one specific region of our image. In Adobe Photoshop vocabulary, we would call the type of changes that we make with Snapseed’s Selective Tool Masking. Snapseed’s Selective Tool uses an advanced variation of the U-Point color selection algorithm that was originally developed by the Nik Software company. When you place a Control Point with the Selective Tool on your image, Snapseed from Google creates a soft feathered mask that automatically expands out to include contiguous pixels with a similar color or tone to the one that you selected. In plain English, this U-Point stuff means that the Snapseed App automatically generates an elegant mask for you whenever you create a new Control Point. As you can see in the video tutorial above, we can use these soft masks to push and pull our viewer’s attention around our image and ultimately to lock their attention onto our subject. The Selective Tool is one that you need to master if you want to take your mobile photography to the next level! ------------ Learn Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, Adobe Lightroom for Mobile, Snapseed from Google, and more with our complete video training courses at http://www.focusphotoschool.com.
