You can call it back at any time by tapping the Help button at upper right and selecting Show Overlay. (It also appears when you open one of the filters for the first time.) Tap anywhere on the screen to make the overlay disappear. This is the overlay, an ingenious feature that guides you around the Snapseed interface. The first time you open Snapseed you'll be greeted with a screen that looks something like Figure 1. (But perhaps that's the whole idea of the iPadto have fun, doing your 'serious' computing on a laptop or desktop.) Please bear this point in mind as we go through Snapseed's impressive feature list in this article. But it's a problem if you want to retain the full resolution of your original images, and for me it makes Snapseed a fun app rather than a serious one. This relatively low size is fine if you just want to make small prints or display your photos online.

Snapseed downsizes large images to a resolution of 2304 x 1536 pixels.

However, there is a caveat about image size. It's quick, easy, and fun, and the creative possibilities are nearly unlimited. Personally, I really enjoy editing my photos using Snapseed on my iPad. I use it on my iPad 2, and the screenshots in this article are from that device. Snapseed works on the iPhone and iPod touch (third and fourth generations) as well as the iPad and iPad 2.
