hey guys this is Austin and steam youth video going over Snapseed I'm sure love you guys know facebook yesterday bought Instagram for 1 billion dollars well this is great for facebook if you're using Instagram right now you don't wanna be forced to have a facebook login or get it all integrated into Facebook which of course it's definitely going to be coming then you might wanna be interested in a couple of alternatives such as Snapseed snap see gives you a lot of the functionality of Instagram with a fantastic interface and some very nice filters and effects snapper import a picture of up to 16 megapixels and you'll be greeted with a few options along the bottom of your various effects with some hobbies hipster styles such as grunge and vintage which look exactly like what you'd expect to see on Instagram where snapseed really comes into its own is in how well you can customize your images you can easily select which attribute you want to change by tapping and then scrolling up and down then you can swipe left and right to adjust the strength of that effect this really works as well as it looks after a brief learning curve you can tweak your images in no time you can also do broader changes such as adjusting the style along with what texture you want to use there's also a compare button which allows you to instantly see how much you've changed your image and if you don't like it you can simply go back you can also use pinching gestures to adjust some effects for example to precisely line up how much of the image you want and focus once you're ready you can apply the changes and be done or add an additional effect and continue editing I'm not all that into some of the effects but others are really quite cool and by far my favorite is selective adjust this allows you to create control points to manipulate individual parts of the image at a time and this alone makes Snapseed worth it for me a level of control really is impressive finally when you're done you can share it to Twitter Facebook and Flickr or just save it and upload it wherever you like Snapseed is available for five dollars as a universal iOS app for iphone and ipad and twenty dollars for windows and mac with an android version coming soon overall I think snapseed is a fantastic application on the one hand it's a great app just in general so of course not only does it have a lot of cool filters but it's also very customizable and the interface is fantastic on the other hand if you want to get away from Instagram this is a great way to go to is you don't have to worry about it being logged in with facebook or anything like that you can simply save your pictures out and upload them to any social network you want anyway guys if you enjoyed this video definitely sure to leave it a thumbs up and if you're interested in more videos like this be sure to subscribe
