Michal Marek The Google-owned photo editing app called Snapseed has received a major update and brings many new features. The latest version of the Snapseed photo editor is the first major update since October 2013, and it's a major one indeed. The application has received a complete redesign, it brings a new way of viewing edits and, in addition, a number of other novelties.
Snapseed in version 2.0 fully represents the tandem of applications from Google and is proud of the modern Material design, which is typical for the latest Android 5 Lollipop. But it's certainly not just the look Google's engineers have been working on for the past year and a half. Snapseed also now boasts a completely new option for viewing edits. The function is called Stacks and its domain is the ability to view an overview of all the adjustments made, to work with them further and even to copy and apply them to the next image.
The application has also been enriched with five new filters. Among them, we can also find the trio Lens Blur, Total Contrast or Magic Glow, which in previous versions of the application formed premium content. Also new is a tool that allows you to apply effects using a brush to specific areas of the image, a tool for selective detailed corrections, and the like.
Snapseed 2.0 you can free to download from the App Store on iPhone and iPad. However, it will require iOS 8.0 and higher operating system installed. Of course, the application is also optimized for the latest iPhone 6 and 6 Plus.
Finally, I was afraid that Google would let it die. On the iPh6+, the old version was terribly unusable. Now after the first test of the new version, I am very satisfied and will include Snapseed back in my workflow.
I used Snapseed to edit almost every photo. I deleted it after the last update and I won't install it until they drastically change it again. I think they messed it up terribly.
I don't use it anymore either. Unfortunately, I'm getting more and more of the impression that whatever Google buys, they screw it up after a while :-(.
After connecting to the Mac, photos edited in the new Snapseed 2.0 will create a copy of the original without any changes and applied filters, so goodbye Snapseed - UNUSABLE!!! I tried to send the edited photo via e-mail and it came over edited, but I don't consider that a solution - to send photos by e-mail. When copying to a Mac, you will be left with the unedited original.
