Snapseed 2.9 Adds Full Raw Support, Face Tool Share This on LinkedIn   Share This on Google   Tweet This   Forward This

31 August 2016

Google is rolling out Snapseed 2.9 for both Android and iOS today with full Raw support and as new Face tool. Android also gets new Perspective and White Balance tools.

Other refinements, in addition to bug fixes, include user interface improvements and preferences for JPEG compression and lossless exports.

RAW TOOLS

The new Raw tools are activated when Snapseed detects a Raw file. Non-destructive edits include Structure, Tint, Shadow control, Exposure (-4.0 to +4.0 f-stops) and Temperature (1.700°K to over 80°K).

You can use an Apple USB SD card reader or a WiFi SD card to get Raw files into Snapseed. Or you can access Raw files stored on Google Drive by tapping the "..." option and selecting Send Copy to download the Raw file either by saving it to your Camera Roll or opening it directly in Snapseed.

FACE TOOL

The new Face tool "helps bring focus to faces, smoothen skin and add clarity to eyes," Google said.

Snapseed 2.9 available today for Android and iOS, with Raw support on iOS

Following Raw support for Android last October, today we're bringing full Raw support to Snapseed by rolling out the ability for the professional file format to be edited on iOS.

The new Raw tool opens automatically when Snapseed detects a Raw file and works seamlessly with other Snapseed tools, such as Healing, Brushes, Frames, Text, HDR or Details. Editing changes can be saved non-destructively or exported as a plain JPG in high quality. Some of the available adjustments for Raw include Structure, Tint, Shadow control, Exposure (-4.0 to 4.0 f-stops) and Temperature (1.700°K to over 80°K). Anyone using Snapseed 2.9 and an Apple USB SD card photo adapter or WiFi SD card can now work with Raw images.

In addition to Raw support for iOS, on both iOS and Android we're rolling out the all-new Face tool: a photographic tool that helps you bring focus to faces, smoothen skin and add clarity to eyes.

Also on Android: new Perspective and White Balance tools. Perspective straightens lines in your image by removing the perspective effect from the original image. White Balance offers fine color balance control with pinpoint precision via an eye dropper tool.

Finally, in addition to UI improvements and bug fixes on both Android and iOS, you can now set the preferred JPG compression rate or even save lossless when exporting.

Look for the update to hit the Play Store and App Store today. Happy editing!
