Photo Editing: How To Brush And Zoom In Snapseed

aNewDomain — It almost goes without saying that I am a regular user of Snapseed. I’ve been covering it here at aNewDomain and on our sister site, BreakingModern, for over a year now. If you also find yourself relying on this tool for editing mobile photos, check out my quick video highlight, below. In it, I show you how to brush and zoom in Snapseed.

Snapseed is available free for Android on Google Play and Apple iOS. Definitely check it out.

What photo editor are you using? Leave me a comment below with your favorite mobile photography editor. I want to try what you have — and help you figure out how to maximize the use of the mobile photography tools you’ve already got.

Thanks for watching. For aNewDomain, I’m Ant Pruitt.
