Interface and Setup
A program’s success is very much dependent on its interface and the ease it provides to the user and snapheal offers a very easy user interface, even a beginner can use it to its fullest. Of course the creative use of the software is dependent on the user but the skill required for it is very basic. To start the editing process you need to activate the software by clicking on the “Activate” button on the screen, after clicking the button, your computer screen will get changed and now it will allow you to edit the files in the software. Opening file in snapheal pro is very simple, you can either open it by using a load image option available on the screen or you can just drag the image on the splash screen.
When you will do it the first time then it will ask you to install additional programs to add plug-ins, the installation process automatic and quick. You also have an option to skip this process and start editing without it and once you get the time then you can add plug-ins. After this step you will end up on the main layout which is very simple, on the right side of the screen there are 3 important options of retouch, erase and adjust and on the top of the screen you will find all the standard tools like, redo, undo, zoom, save, open etc. you can edit the file here and whenever you make an edit it will take time to process the image while showing you a fun fact and % of the process. However, if you want to read the fact then you should have high reading speed because the snap heal software processes the editing very quickly.
Erase
Erasing is the top feature of this software and true problem solver, this feature is the savior of the classic images which usually gets photo bombed. By using this you can erase any object, person or shadow from the image. Using it pretty straightforward, they have given you options like the diameter of the erasing brush with the help of which you can erase the object, and then in the middle you will find the selection eraser tool with the help of this feature you can select the area on which you want to make changes. The selected area will turn red so you should know your selected area and make the changes you desire. Then there is an option of “lasso” with lasso you can draw around the object or area which you want to remove by connecting the ends of your lasso tool and it will remove the area which you have selected. Once you have selected the necessary option and the area then you can click on the big erase button on the screen to completely remove the object from the image.
There are the further option available in this feature like Global, Local and dynamic, each has its own specialty. For instance, the global feature will the material from the entire picture to remove the content, and on the other hand, Local feature will draw on the pixels near the area you have selected. The Dynamic feature is what you call the best of both worlds, it uses both the skills of global and local. It takes only a few seconds to process the changes and the edited picture will be in front of you in no time.
Retouch
After removing the unwanted object or person from the image you can use this feature to further enhance your image by retouching specific areas and giving an artistic effect. To use the retouching feature, you need to select the area on which you want to retouch and after that you can improve color quality by using the slider and it will also allow you the tone correction without affecting the whole image.
Adjust
Like many other software, snapheal also provides an adjustment feature where you can adjust your entire image after erasing and retouching. Although it does not provides layers or curves for the adjustment but it does provide the important adjustment features like sharpness, shadow and contrast. After using all these features you can create a perfect portrait or instagram picture.
Export
Once you are finished editing your picture, you can save a backup file in any format you like by clicking on the icon of “save image as” at the left top corner of the screen. You can export the file and when you try to export it, then it will open a window with 3 options
- Save the file as a shareable file like PSD, JPEG etc. (which you can reuse whenever you want)
- Open this file in another Macphun program. ( to open this file in another Macphun program you need to have those programs preinstalled in your computer)
- Directly share the file to a social media account.
The second option gives you the freedom to keep working on the file but you need to have a macphun creative kit and it will directly send the file there.
Now I will answer some of the frequently asked questions in this snapheal reviews.

No, it is not free, you have to purchase it if you want to use it and save your photo bombs. It is a part of Macphun creative kit and it can be purchased with the kit. The kit’s price starts from 99$ but the snapheal in the app store has a different price because of the change in both versions
