r/snapseed

This is on android, if you have ISO and Shutter Speed on Auto and you manually adjust one of them you will see the other value adjust automatically. However, it only happens for the first change, if you interrupt the change of the specific value and adjust it again the other value will remain at the last changed value.

Example, I adjust my ISO to 100, shutter speed moves to 1/301. I keep adjusting ISO up or down but SS will stay at 1/301 no matter what. The only solution is to either fall back to Auto mode or adjust the second value manually.

Oh and don't even get me started on "Pro" mode lacking any kind of exposure information.

The app is functionally pretty perfect. Kudos to you guys for that! But going from Snapseed 2 to 4, when I first open the app I can't help but feel like I'm now visiting a millennial hipster's photography portfolio's website landing page disguised as a photo editor instead of using a truly professional image manipulation toolkit.

The googly eyes are out of place and the cursive font you used for Snapseed's in-app logo is not it.

Maybe redesign these elements. That's it, really. You have a good thing going with the "leaf" logo, why don't you guys brainstorm a potential theme around that leaf we've all learned to associate with the app? My two cents.

I think snapseed rn is probably the closest one to nail a pretty authentic analog film look. Do you guys have any settings you used to make it more accurate then the stock settings and any additional settings beyond halation, bloom?

Edit:i should have specified that i mean for free on mobile.

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

What I usually do in LR for Spot Splash Colors is desturate all the colors in HSL, and then pull up colors I want in my image. When I try doing this in Snapseed, even with all the colors "desaturated", there are colors still in the image. Doesn't give me a B&W image to work with. Anyone have any ideas what's happening here?

It's been my favorite editing tool for years and I'm going to keep using it, but why did they just infantilize their interface?

Hello. I’ve taken a colour shot on my iPhone of my granddaughter with an apple.

I want to convert it to black and white and make the apple its natural (red) colour.

How do I do this. Using ipad.

Many thanks for your help.

Using the new Snapseed for the first time today. When I import photos, they are darker and the colors are muted. No amount of tinkering gets them to the same vibrancy as the original photo. Is anyone else experiencing this and is there a fix?
I’m on an iPhone 16.

Thanks!

Hi, I'm an amateur photographer and I always like to edit my photos on that app, and it feels a little limiting, the fact that it isn't on MacOS. Although I can emulate it using BlueStacks, it certainly isn't the best experience.

This is just a suggestion, if you ever enable it or have any news about it, let me know please!

Any other good / similar and free alternatives for Snapseed on MacOS?

Thanks !

Is it just me or is snapseed 4 slower to apply looks? I remember when I could whiz through them trying a bunch out to compare which ones I preferred. I’ve gotta say as much as I think the eyes are cute, they stop you comparing one look directly to another.

Still love the snapseed paradigm though over Lightroom and photoshop

Hey. New to the community ✌🏼

I want your guidence on something. I love Snapseed and the new update is far greater than what I could expect. Hats off. Really!

However. There is one thing missing now since the update and I wanted to see if it's only me that is bad at finding stuff.

Before I really enjoyed using the brush to apply filters in pics to give them an certain atmosphere.

For example. I used the noir filter, then went inside the recent changes layers and then used the brush to apply that filter with only 25% strength. Always awesome results.

Now I can't find that option. Is it taken away from me or am I just looking at the wrong place?

Big thanks to everyone who's jumped into the 4.0 release and sent over feedback and bug reports.

We’re moving as fast as possible to squash these bugs and sort through your notes. We wanted to get this update out to you quickly since it clears up a lot of the major issues, even if it doesn't catch everything yet. We're already working on the rest. Please keep the reports coming, either here or through the in-app feedback tool.

Here’s what’s in 4.0.1 on Android:

New features / capabilities 

• Added Camera shortcut (long-press on the icon to trigger)
• Added Camera capture via volume buttons

Fixes 

• Fixed a bunch of crashes / issues in tools (Color, Portrait, Frames, Grunge, Retrolux, etc.)
• Fixed some issues with Camera that caused the app to freeze
• Camera Pro mode should always have access to Flash and Lens selection

A note on camera lens availability:

A number of you have reported certain lenses (mostly ultra-wide and zoom lenses) aren’t showing up as options on your device. 

Upon further investigation, it seems like certain manufacturers limit what cameras 3Ps can access. On these devices, Snapseed doesn't have an easy way to access the other lenses without a significant investment that would fix your specific device. So, for the time being we won’t be able to support the additional lenses on these devices. 

On iOS, 4.0.1 address a couple crashes and bugs.
