Powerful photo editing app Snapseed is now available on the Mac App Store for $19.99

Just two days after we announced that Snapseed was coming to the Mac App Store, the app’s developers Nik Software have pushed it app live and it can now be downloaded at a cost of $19.99/£13.99.

Designed exclusively for the Mac, Snapseed brings its full collection of filters, textures and tools, allowing users to utilise the U Point technology embedded within to selectively enhance selected areas of a photo. Snapseed allows users to make one click-adjustments to their photos, with all modifications processed in real-time.

Instagram users will be familiar with Snapseed’s Grunge, Vintage, Tilt & Shift, and Drama filters but the app has launched with more than that. The Mac app delivers a ‘Tune Image’ feature that can quickly correct photos in low-light conditions, add depth and vibrancy with ambience or adjust the white balance, saturation and contrast.
