Expert Tips for Enhancing Your Landscape Shots | SNAPSEED TUTORIAL | Android | iOS

 Today I will try to achieve a similar look on mobile using Snapseed app.

• So here's the image I snapped imported into Snapseed.
• First, I will try to remove this tower using Healing tool.
• As you can see when it comes around the edges, the results are not so good.
• Am gonna try another method.
• Using Double exposure, I am gonna add the same image and move it a bit so that the sky
• is over the tower.
• Now setting the opacity to 100 and going to masking screen.
• Here with the original image hidden and brush value at 100, brushing on the tower to remove it.
• I will keep the edges as it is.
• Will fix this with the Healing tool.
• Doing rough healing here to get rid of the top part.
• Limitations of Snapseed here.
• Now adding few Selective filters in the sky to make the area completely bright.
• Trying to make the sky as white as possible.
• There's still some blue left here.
• Adding another one.
• This contrast has affected the foreground too.
• Going to masking screen and removing it.
• 
  
  
  
  
• Now is the step to add the mountains.
• Before starting this edit, I edited the image a little to make it easier to add it here.
• Used selective filters to make the top surroundings completely white.
• Also the mountains little less contrasty.
• Using Curves, added some haze effect which could come useful.
• Also made the image completely white and brushed on the mountain edges to remove these clouds
• especially the ones closer to the mountains.
• And saved it.
• Now adding the saved image using Double Exposure and choosing Darken mode which adds the image
• mainly on the brightest parts.
• Moving it to a suitable position.
• Going to masking screen and first adding the mountains from the bottom so that the clouds
• in the sky do not end up here.
• Also with the brush opacity at 25, brushing around the bottom part of the mountains to
• give an illusion that it is further from the foreground.
• Then making sure to remove whatever remains of the image in the foreground.
• Forgot something.
• Going back to the Healing tool and removing this small concrete thing on the left.
• Worked well here.
• Now using Double Exposure again, adding the image of this evening sky and choosing Darken
• mode again which works best here.
• Moving it up a little so that the orangish part of the sky comes around the right edge.
• You can also see the red shade taking effect on the mountains too.
• Masking work again to remove the residue of the sky image in the foreground.
• Next I am gonna add an interesting effect using the same sky image.
• I will leave it at default mode with 50% transparency.
• Now in the masking screen, just brushing on the edge of the mountain to get this light
• hazy effect.
• Looks really nice.
• Selective filters now.
• One on the mountain to make the top left part of the mountain more dark.
• Now using Curves, I am gonna lift the blacks a lot to get this effect.
• Also adding yellow by dragging the blue curve down.
• Now in the masking screen, applying it only on the right edge to create the main light source.
• Using similar effect with a little less intensity.
• Applying this around the same location.
• Now adding structure in the Details menu.
• This I will be applying only the rail tracks and the gravel to get some pop there.
• Will create a bit of vignette effect by darkening the overall image using Curves.
• Then in masking screen, zooming out and removing the effect around the light source.
• Next some overall tuning in Tune Image menu.
• Adding contrast, saturation.
• Reducing shadows...
• ...brightening the highlights.
• Some masking work on the light source.
• Going back to make some corrections to fine tune the brightness around the light source.
• Will add more haze around to get a nice effect between the foreground and the background
• using Curves.
• Lifting blacks and adding yellowish tones.
• Masking screen,
• Roughly applying around the middle part.
• Then removing it around to fine tune the selection.
• A really nice haze effect there.
• After these, will add some finishing touches by exporting this to the free Lightroom app.
• Here in the Light menu, adding whites and reducing blacks to pop the image more.
• Going to the HSL sliders, moving the green hues towards Aqua, also the blues in the sky
• towards aqua.
• More orangish tones to the highlights in the color grading tool.
• Adding overall vibrance for a colorful image.
• Will reduce the saturation of the yellows here a bit which seems too intense.
• Also adding selective sharpening in Detail menu.
• Finally tuning overall contrast in Curves.
• The final result here.
