In the world of apps, not getting an update for two years is almost like a death sentence. Well, not really, (especially if you’re owned by Google), but it also means that you might not get any new downloaders, or that people already using your app might find some other alternative, one that brings new features every few months or so. So it’s with a sigh of relief that finally, after two years, Snapseed has received an update, bringing with it new tools and more options to use.
The photo editing app claims that it can give you the “precision and control” that you can get from other professional photo editing apps, while you’re just on your smartphone or tablet. Some of the new tools included in the update are Lens Blur, Tonal Contrast, intelligent perspective Transform, and Spot Healing. You can also now choose which parts of the photo you want to apply the filters, using a simple brush tool, because sometimes you don’t want the whole filter on all parts.
The app also now has a Stacks feature so that you will be able to undo any changes you make, or re-edit photos that you have already edited. And in case you need to apply a certain edit you’ve made on not just one but a number of pictures, you can just copy paste the specific edits you’ve made. This saves you from spending so much time on batch edits.
While there are a lot of photo editing apps out there like VSCOcam, Afterlight, Darkroom, etc, one advantage that Snapseed has, aside from being owned by a tech giant, is that all of its features are entirely free. If you already removed it from your smartphone or tablet before, you can redownload it from the Google Play Store.
