Snapseed, The Image Editor That Google Bought After It Won iPad App Of The Year, Is Now On Android

There are no shortage of image editors on Android. Even Adobe, which makes the class-leading Photoshop, has a version of its editor on the platform. Today, though, Google gets one of its very own: Snapseed. You may recall this particular piece of software when it was demoed by NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun Huang at CES this year. At the time, it was only available on the iPad where it had won App of the Year in 2011. Shortly thereafter, Google bought the company. Now, the Android version is finally being released.

The feature set is pretty familiar, but the selection of filters and adjustments is one of the best, and the interface that's designed for both phones and tablets is fantastic. Most image editing apps (including Adobe's offerings) are only available for either one category of devices or the other. This is great news for people who incorporate multiple Android devices into their photography hobby or job.

Of course, what would a new Google app be without Google+ integration? Snapseed has that, too. Oh, and did I mention it's free? Sure is. You can get it via the widget below. As of right now, the Nexus 7 appears to not be supported, however a Google engineer mentioned in this thread that this is a simple metadata issue and an update should be rolling out to fix this shortly. So be patient.

Well it is a bit more powerful than Instagram, that everybody seem to compare it against.

Its no Filterstorm Pro that's for sure <---- Would still love this on Android. Its like one of the only apps that actually makes it worth while to own an iPad. :)

Erm about that, no one said this application is to replace your Photoshop. This is more of a tool to help you touch up photo's before you post them on Facebook while you on the move.
 
I had PicsArt to do basic editing on the tablet but this is much more user friendly. I like it.
 
Thanks for sharing this bit of information. Hopefully it will not be too taxing on battery, although I am willing to sacrifice even that for a decent image editor. :)
