Enhance Background Blur


If you are not happy with the amount of blur or bokeh you captured while taking a portrait shot you can increase the blur using the “Lens Blur” tool in Snapseed. The Lens Blur tool allows you to shift the focal point of blur to any part of the image and then blur the sounding area with an intensity of your choice. Note that it cannot decrease the blur which was already captured by the camera so you cannot completely shift the focal point of blur in portrait shots, but it does offer a considerable amount of flexibility to photos, and it can help you draw the viewer’s attention towards the main subject of the photo.

That said, this is one of the pro tools in Snapseed and you will need to invest time and effort to create your artistic image composition. In the image below, the left side is the original image while the right one is the one that I created after superimposing the moon on top of it. It definitely results in some pretty impressive images.

Well, with the help of the “Healing” tool, you can remove any object that you don’t want in your image. Suppose in the image above, I don’t the bike to be there.  I will go to Tools -> Healing and select the bike using my finger . After a few seconds, the bike is gone as you can see in the picture below. Do note, that the Healing tool cannot work magic so you might see some kind of distortion if you are removing an object as big as the bike in my example photo.
