Iceland Snapseed Looks (Presets)

Over the last 2 years I’ve been working to convert my Lightroom presets into Snapseed Looks. For those that don’t know, Snapseed Looks are QR codes that apply edits to images. They are the Lightroom equivalent to presets. They are a great tool to get the look you want out of your images. I’ve taken all my work in Lightroom over the past 12 years and applied it to my Snapseed Looks. Snapseed is one of the best mobile image editors around and it’s great to have a mobile tool that allows you to create portfolio worthy images. I’ve included one of the QR codes below so you can try it out for yourself. I love creating great images but more importantly I love helping others take their images to the next level. I hope you find my Snapseed Looks helpful and keep shooting!

What Are Snapseed Looks?

As phones have become better cameras more people have turned to mobile software to edit their photos. There are a bunch of utilities out there but for today I’m going to focus on Snapseed which is owned by Google. Snapseed was originally developed by Nik Software which had some of the greatest photoshop plugins. I was sad to see them purchase by Google and see Google abandon the software. But the good news is they were recently purchased by DxO and they have resumed development. Long story short, these guys are not a fly by night shop. They come from building world class photo editing software.

If you’ve ever used Adobe Lightroom or similar software you know you can create presets for certain looks and save them. This is a great time saving technique so that you can replicate a certain look without having to go through all the steps. Snapseed Looks are just that but for Snapseed. But how do you install them? In Adobe you have to install new presets and then restart the app. What is super cool about Snapseed is that each look is a QR code. You simply click the icon at the top to show the edits.

Next you click the QR Look

And finally, click Scan QR Look.

As you may or may not know, I took almost my entire portfolio and recreated these looks from my original Adobe Lightroom files. I know sell my own Snapseed Looks as a package for $3. It helps me fund the site and drink some coffee :). I’ve included one of the looks below so you can try it out for yourself. If you like it or found this helpful, I’d love if you pick up the full Snapseed Looks package or my book The Photographer’s Guide to Capturing Chicago. Thanks for coming by!
