If the image was originally taken on the device you're editing with it'll hop over right away, but if instead this is a cloud-stored image it may take a moment to download before it shares. Just hit the share button on the left side of the bottom bar when viewing a photo, and send it over to your editor of choice for further processing. If you'd prefer to edit your photos in another editor, you can do that just as you would with any other photo-handling app.

If you choose to have Google Photos scan and upload your saved Snapseed photos, the edited ones will then show up separately in your Photos gallery.

If you have Snapseed installed on your Android phone, you can tap the overflow menu button in the top-right corner of the Google Photos interface when viewing a photo and tap "Edit in Snapseed." It'll move the photo over to Snapseed and you'll get right into editing - as soon as you're done, the photo will be saved locally to your device, and won't replace the Google Photos original copy. If you'd prefer to discard any edits you've made instead of saving, just tap the overflow menu button and tap "Back to original" to reset.īecause Google now owns the popular photo editing app Snapseed, there's an additional synergy between it and Google Photos. It'll sit right next to the original photo in your library and have all of the same EXIF data from the original photo. You can also adjust the angle of the photo either automatically (which is hit or miss) or by swiping across the dial at the bottom of the screen.Īs soon as you've made any changes you'll see a "save" button up at the top of the screen, which will save a new copy of the photo with the edits applied to your Google Photos library. The crop & adjust option is simple as well, just tap and drag on any of the corners to do a free-form resizing - but unfortunately there are no fixed popular crops like 1:1, 4:3 or 16:9. Scroll through the available filters, select the one you want to use and change its intensity - in either the positive or negative range - until you get a look you want. We all know our way around filters, and Google Photos offers a good set to choose from.
