  • Picasa Getting Started Guide
    Picasa Getting Started Guide Picasa is free photo management software from Google that helps you find, edit and share your photos in seconds. We recommend that you print out this brief overview of Picasa's main features and consult it as you use the program for the first time to learn about new features quickly. Organize Once you start Picasa, it scans your hard drive to find and automatically organize all your photos. Picasa finds the following photo and movie file types: • Photo file types: JPG, GIF, TIF, PSD, PNG, BMP, RAW (including NEF and CRW). GIF and PNG files are not scanned by default, but you can enable them in the Tools > Options dialog. • Movie file types: MPG, AVI, ASF, WMV, MOV. If you are upgrading from an older version of Picasa, you will likely want to keep your existing database, which contains any organization and photo edits you have made. To transfer all this information, simply install Picasa without uninstalling Picasa already on your computer. On your first launch of Picasa you will be prompted to transfer your existing database. After this process is complete, you can uninstall Picasa. Library view Picasa automatically organizes all your photo and movie files into collections of folders inside its main Library view. Layout of main Library screen: Picasa Getting Started Guide Page 1 of 9 Folder list The left-hand list in Picasa's Library view shows all the folders containing photos on your computer and all the albums you've created in Picasa.

  • SNAPSEED, a Photo Editing App for Mobile Devices Nancy Matheson
    SNAPSEED, a Photo Editing App for Mobile Devices Nancy Matheson Snapseed is a photo-editing application produced by Nik Software, a subsidiary of Google, for iOS and Android that enables users to enhance photos and apply digital filters. Snapseed was rated as one of the Top 100 Best Android App of 2015 by PC Magazine. Snapseed users can edit pictures using swiping gestures to select different effects and enhancements. Alternatively, users can opt for an "automatic" adjustment of color and contrast. Snapseed can save users' editing history. It can also create and save filter combinations by using the default filters and editing features. Snapseed is free for both Android and IOS devices. Android: Google Play (Version 2.x, last updated Oct 13, 2016) . IOS: App Store (Version 2.x, last updated Oct 12, 2016) Examples An attempt to capture some motion blur in a Skytrain tunnel. The original was unevenly exposed, with blah colours and it lacked drama. I used various tools to enhance the textures, even the light, while increasing contrast, converting to black and white and tilting for effect. Adding a frame and watermark finished the conversion. Handout – How Did They Do That? Snapseed Demonstration October 2016 Cropping, removing unnecessary colour, enhancing textures and lifting the light on the subject improved the storytelling clout of this shot. The original was a picture saved from Facebook. It captured a fun moment, but the poor exposure stole the story. Lifting shadows, supressing highlights, selectively lighting the subject, and laying over a fun texture to disguise the poor image quality, and enhance the fun.
