One of Nik's great innovations is U-Point technology, which is used in all their desktop plugins (and licensed to Nikon's Capture NX). The whole workflow is quite intuitive and I quickly found a couple of recipes that I could go through in a. You can freeze a version at any time by saving to the iPad's photo library, or revert to the original file if you've messed up completely and want a do over. When you apply the changes the app takes you back to the home screen where you can then select another module to use on the same image, making it possible to stack several effects together. Mostly, you swipe up/down to access the module's various filters and left/right to adjust their parameters - it's fast, easy and extremely fluid. When first launching any of the modules, the app will show an overlay with a set of hand-drawn instructions explaining the various gestures (à la Pulse news reader). Auto Correct - Selective Adjust - Tune Image - Straighten and Rotate - Crop - Black and White - Vintage Films - Drama - Grunge - Center Focus - Organic Frames WORKFLOW This choice of interface has me wondering if more modules couldn't be added in the future, perhaps as in-app purchases? There are two sets of modules right now: the first one is geared towards basic image correction while the second offers creative adjustments like Black and White and Vintage Films. The app is basically a collection of individual modules, each with its own functions and filters. I bought the app within five minutes - it did NOT disappoint. I've owned and used Nik's amazing plugins in Aperture for many years and my heart leaped when I saw the email. I'm not saying there aren't good ones out there, but I couldn't find anything that felt right. Either the functionalities were lacking, the interface was awkward or the feature set was geared at making silly cat pics. I'd been trying out, reading about and overall feeling disappointed with iPad image editors to bring along on our trip. The timing couldn't have been more perfect. The night before we left for Paris I received an email from Nik Software announcing the release of their brand new iPad app: Snapseed. Snapseed by Nik Software $4.99 Website iTunes App Store
