Working with Portrait Professional without Sculpting!

[Asher Kelman]

Thanks, Robert, but how do you do skin smoothing? Is that by tricking program to vignette with blur?

Can you do cloning?

When doing clean up, one has be be so careful not to get staccato repeats!

no you can’t clone

 

[Asher Kelman]

Thanks!

I put together this screen capture video (iPad Recorder) of me running through some steps that I follow if cleaning up a face in Snapseed. If I want extensive post work for a client, then I will use a full featured program.

There is no Audio, so you will have to watch for the names of the Tool being used, in the Center of the screen.

Robert,

This is such a useful video on Snapseed but also on cleaning a picture in any editing software.

Is tgr version you use different than the one for an iPhone?

It seems to have finer controls!

The same version of Snapseed is on both my iphone and iPad. Any fine control was from zooming in with two fingers after selecting the Healing tool, and being careful where I ran my finger. Not near the control I would have with the Affinity Inpainting tool. I do image that I would have better control now that I have an Apple Pen for my iPad. Working with fingers are kind of crude but doable obviously. LOL

This is such an old video. Strangely I posted this 10 days before having to leave El Salvador because of the new pandemic threat. My subjects and methods have changed so much in the last 3-1/2 years. I don’t photograph that often compared to before, and most of my image processing is done on my desktop. My wife still uses Snapseed on your phone, but increasingly is finding the iOS editing in Photos to do everything she needs.

I use finger zoom too and I have learnt to do large objects in stages so my continued efforts don’t ruin my edits to date.

But I have never used the paint tool.

I will tackle that next.
