When your images are aligned as good as possible, you need to make the top image opaque using the 'droplet' symbol and moving the slider all the way to the right and accept changes by touching the 'droplet' again (not the 'V' yet as it will exit the 'Double Exposure' tool): It's not very precise, of course, but it's not a big problem if images are similar: You can use two fingers to zoom in or zoom out or even rotate and that can be helpful. Here's my take on a fly, where part of the body is in focus but the head isn't:įrom there you choose 'Tools' and then, at the bottom, 'Double Exposure' tool:Īnother step is to choose second photo, the one differently focused:Īnd it will open on top of the first image - unaligned so you need to align it by moving it around. First thing is you need to decide which photo will be the base - the one with most of the subject in focus (or the background). So, let's assume you have two differently focused photos of same subject.

It's not a perfect solution for sure as Snapseed isn't really very precise BUT if you're like me - an amateur photographer that is shooting for fun and doesn't wan't to spend too much time with big tools and the PC - it might be useful to know that you might do this on your phone or tablet. Every single time I mention that I'm doing focus stacking on mobile in Snapseed I hear just 'wait, what? In Snapseed?' so I thought I'll make a little step-by-step tutorial on how it's done.
