Snapseed vs VSCO Cam

Google has also integrated most of Snapseeds features into the G+ app as well.

Snapseed interface is controlled with swipes, up and down to choose the option and left and right to choose the intensity. It does take a bit of getting used to, but once you have the interface is very nice and easy to use.

In order to make adjustments to just one part of an image, tap and hold the box on the top right corner of the screen.

With the acquisition of Snapseed by Google, the app was lowered in price from $4.99 to free.

Snapseed includes many features of high end photo editing software, auto correct, image tuning and other effects. Snapseed makes editing your photos easy and gives the photographer many options to choose from in how they present their images.

Scrolling up and down lets the user choose from different effects and tools, swiping left to right determines the intensity. This app includes many effects such as tilt shift that are hard to find elsewhere.

Any filter can be applied on a scale of 1-12 and filters can be applied in layers over each other.

The VSCO cam has a minimalistic approach to the interface. The color scheme is mostly black and grey, and many buttons don't have labels.

With VSCO cam, a mode can be selected where a photo can be taken by touching anywhere on the screen, not just one specific button.

This app has many of the tools users expect and more. These include exposure, temperature, contrast, saturation, sharpening, and more.

VSCO Cam integrates with Titter, Instagram, Facebook, and G+ for quick sharing.

The VSCO camera roll can be kept separate from the primary one, or combined.

VSCO Cam has an in-app sharing platform, but it doesn't force users to join. For those who opt in, the experience is much like Instagram but without spammy likes or ads.
