You can also do an import by clicking on the main window or choosing File: Open. For this review, I chose an unedited RAW Nikon file (.NEF) from a portrait shoot in a graffiti-covered shack. This photo has harsh, natural sunlight on my subject as well as bright, distracting colors, and deep blacks. I will try to use Snapseed to bring better attention to my subject.

Tuning I started in the 'Tune Image' section to make basic adjustments. Here, Snapseed has six, pre-made exposure adjustments - automatic, neutral, dark, bright, balanced, and moody. The auto-effects are visible in the thumbnail.

Once you have chosen an effect, you can further adjust the Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, Ambiance, and Warmth of your photo by toggling sliders in the 'Global Adjust' section of the window. (Ambiance seems to be a combination of shadow darkening and color temperature and Warmth is color balance). The U-Point controls are adjusted by clicking and dragging your cursor to either the right or left of the buttons. (Left to decrease the intensity and right to increase it.) You can see how much you are affecting your image by the colored rings that will appear around the letter you have chosen.
