Photo Background Color Change tutorial using snapseed and lighroom app - Timothy Concept

  Hello, my lovely family in the photo editing space. I hope you are all doing well today. My name is Timothy Concept, and I have over half a decade of expertise in photo editing on mobile devices, whether on Android or iOS. I am here with another photo editing concept that works for most photos we took with your phone, especially outdoor images, whether landscape, picnic, etc.

 

This type of mobile photo editing is very simple and straightforward, and it only requires two apps to change the color background of your photo. Without further ado, let's go into the details and learn the steps to take.

 

When you check the image below, you will realize that there are two images in the picture: one is looking crispy, lacks vibrancy, and is dull, which is the unedited image, and it is the image on the left side of the photo below. On the other hand, the second image is looking so professional and is satisfying to look at, with great new features of moody orange on the right side, and it's the edited part.

 

What app I used to create this photo background color change

The major app I used for this photo editing is the Snapseed Mobile App which is used to edit the majority of the photo and a touch of Lightroom mobile application for the final color grading of the photo. I also provide the preset that made up the color grading setting below in this blog post. When you check on the Apple store or Google playstore you will find out that these app have over a million downloads and good rating which statistically makes them some of the best application for photo editing on mobile.

• Next, click the 3 dots at the right corner of the app. Click "View edit" and then brush off the area where you don't want the PNG background file to appear on the photo.

• When you are done, export the image to Lightroom mobile application for moody orange color grading.
