Taking pics with your cell phone- Great app to help

[Dowtish]

I wanted to share about an app called 'snapseed'. It acts as a photoshop for your cell phone. I typically use this for every cell phone pic I take of corals because of the blue that it always picks up. You have many options on the app, but I use the "tune image" option the most and then sometimes I crop the pic as well. The tune image option gives you the ability to adjust the color temp and saturation, shadows etc. until you get what you are looking for and then you just save it. Sometimes you dont need much, but it will take out that "washed out" color to the pic.

here are some before and after pics:

What kind of adjustments do you guys use to get rid if the blue out?

Go to tune image: adjust warmth first then adjust brightness

Not bad! Now if only we could do macros with our phone!

I haven't had a chance to try it yet but my phone just had an update to it and they added a macro selection to the camera options.
