Here, I wanted to remove the foreground clouds while retaining those in the distance. Removing objects overlapping the sky is a feature shown in some of MacPhun's promotional and guide videos, and so we dug out a photo from the archives with a nice blue sky with some meandering cumulus clouds. Task 1: Cloud removalīefore and after: a lake with a cloudy sky above (Photo: Gizmag)

Twister is the most mysterious of the three algorithms and is designed for sky, clouds or multiple small objects.ĭo the erase algorithms work? We put Snapheal through a series of increasingly taxing tasks to find out. Shapeshift is designed for the removal of larger objects and seems to borrow a large amount of visual data from one particular direction.

Wormhole, its icon suggests, copies surrounding pixels from all directions and is designed for erasing skin blemishes or small objects. Each has a different image processing algorithm at its core, and each is designed for different situations. From there, one of three Eraser Modes can be applied: Wormhole, Shapeshift or Twister. As with retouches, erasures must be painted onto the selected object. Snapheal lives or dies by the success of its erase features which, Alexander Tsepko of MacPhun told Gizmag, took over six months to develop and patent. Caution must be exercised when applying multiple retouches to a given area, as defects and artifacts can develop.įor everyday tweaks, Mac-wielding amateur photographers may do better with iPhoto which offers more flexibility in applying and removing after-effects, though the selective retouches of Snapheal might prove useful in certain cases to users who don't have more heavy-duty editing tools to hand. Only one effect (selected in advance) can be applied to the active mask, and the moment another effect is chosen your previous edits are locked in, with only the undo button for recourse. There are sliders to vary the extent of the edit, and these can be adjusted after the mask is painted. Unlike, say, iPhoto, these latter adjustments can be selectively applied to particular elements by painting the effect freehand over the desired object. With it you can crop and rotate photos, as well as adjust contrast, saturation, sharpness, exposure, and apply blur. Could it be magic? Judge for yourself.īefore we get onto the erase features of the app, it's worth mentioning that Snapheal includes the basic suite of photo editing tools. Gizmag took an advance copy of Snapheal 1.0 for a spin. In addition to the usual tweaks and minor edits allowed by vanilla entry-level photo editing software, Snapheal allows you to erase whole objects - including large ones - from your photographs.
