In bringing its computer-based editing chops to the mobile world, Nik has upped the ante on what a photo app for the iPad can do.īut as much as I like Snapseed and appreciate its image editing power, there are times when it feels slightly overextended. I’d hardly expect anything less from Nik, a company that has produced some of my favorite photo software for the laptop/desktop world: Silver Efex Pro, Color Efex Pro and Viveza, to name just a few. in your images via gesture control very good black-and-white conversion tool cool photo frames and easy to use sharing functionality. Here’s just a little of what you get for $4.99 with Snapseed: over 11 built-in filters offering a range of photo editing effects a nifty touch and swipe interface that lets you apply changes in a fun way Nik’s innovative U Point technology for selectively tweaking color, lighting, saturation etc. To label this merely an “app” would undersell its robust photo editing features.

There’s a reason Nik Software calls its new Snapseed program a “photo experience for the iPad” in its press materials.
