Smartphone Editing Tips
1. Shoot a-plenty, then edit down. Your phone's photo gallery is like your contact sheet, a term that photographers used back in the analog days for a sheet that displayed all their negatives on one page. Seeing similar shots side-by-side will help you figure out which angle looks the best. Nowadays, Adobe Lightroom or Adobe Bridge serve as a digital version of a contact sheet.
Pro Tip: Don't be afraid to shoot lots of photos — change up the angles, backgrounds, or setups. Viewing your "contact sheet" will help you quickly edit down.
2. Sharpen. Sharpening your photos will bring out item details that buyers are eager to see. A number of editing apps include sharpening tools. Snapseed is preferable because it has other useful tools and is free for both iOS and Android users.
3. Enhance color. You'll want to pay attention to how bright, dark, or off-color your photos are. Check the an auto-enhance feature, which provides a subtle boost in brightness and color. Check any filters features — black and white, auto-enhance, and tilt-shift — so you can get creative with your item photos.
Pro Tip: If your photo has a strange blue or orange hue, you'll want to adjust the white balance. Snapseed has a good white balance tool.
4. Rotate and crop. Do you have a perfect item photo that needs just a tweak of positioning or framing? Keep in mind, if you need to significantly crop the photo, you might be better off re-shooting.
