I want to open & edit a Snapseed photo from within Google Photos, which requires Google Photos to preserve the Snapseed edit stack data when opening Snapseed on the file.

The current share & "edit in Snapseed" workflows flatten prior Snapseed edits and discard the editable stack. (The edits are stored as metadata within the edited JPG file, and that metadata is discarded upon either edit or share.)

I believe this is a request for the Google Photos team but I'm mentioning here to start a conversation.

I'm using updated versions of both apps, and the latest version of Android available for a Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Exact workflow:
- edit photo in Snapseed
- save
- reopen from Google Photos, using either "edit in Snapseed", or "share"
- stack/history lost
