Snapseed gets much-needed update

It's worrying when an app doesn't get an update for over two years, especially if the app is owned by Google. But it would seem the tech giant isn't giving the kiss of death to its photo editing app, Snapseed, just yet. The app receives a much needed update to put it at par with its many competitors. Some of the new tools include Tonal Contrast, Lens Blur, Intelligent Perspective Transform, and Spot Healing. One of the good things about Snapseed is you can select which parts of the photo you want filters to be applied, giving you more flexibility. 

Making it more of a professional editing tool, the app also has a new Stacks feature. This allows you to undo any changes you have made or even re-edit those that have already been edited. You can also copy specific edits from one photo to another, making batch editing even easier. And another great thing? You get all of these for free.

Google+ for Chrome gets Snapseed photo-editing tools

Google integrated Snapseed into Google+’s mobile apps for a while already. Now, Google’s bringing Snapseed’s features into the desktop Chrome browser with new tools like Auto Enhance, selective adjust editing, filters and frames. Google has slowly started rolling out the new options that can be accessed by clicking the “edit” link of a selected photo.

If you aren’t using Chrome, you’re going to have to make do with basic crop and rotate editing tools.
