Bringing it into focus

In our first tutorial here at the NEM, we looked at the Camera app, and how you can use it to take basic images. We also took a first look at post-processing your photos with the free app Snapseed. We saw that you can make some basic changes to luminosity, contrast and saturation, and that these basic changes can make your photos pop. And we saw that you can make these changes to the overall photo with the Tune Image module, or you can target those changes to part of your photo through the Selective Adjust module.

This tutorial will help you focus (pun intended) your energies on getting the photo you take to be exactly what you hoped to show to your audience. What is it that you were capturing? An object, a motion, an emotion, a quality of light? You want the eye of your audience to see that immediately, and there are tasks you can perform post-capture to channel their vision. Once again, these basic tasks will all be performed in Snapseed.
