We’ve refreshed the Snapseed experience to make your editing process smoother and more intuitive. This milestone update also includes two powerful new tools designed to bring the soul of classic cinematography to your mobile photography:
• Refreshed Interface and Expanded Favorites: We’ve updated the look and feel of the app for a smoother, more intuitive workflow. You can now further customize your workspace by adding more favorited tools, keeping your most-used features right at your fingertips.
• Add a dreamlike glow with Bloom: Give your photos a soft, ethereal quality inspired by vintage haze filters. The Bloom tool expands light sources into a gentle glow—use Strength to control the intensity, Size to set the spread of the haze, and Range to target exactly which tones catch the light.
• Capture the cinematic warmth of Halation: Recreate the iconic red-orange fringe found in classic film stocks. This effect simulates light reflecting off the film base for a truly authentic look. Use Threshold to pick your light sources and Strength to dial in the perfect color intensity.

Experience your photos in a whole new light. This version introduces fresh ways to handle the elements and fine-tune your edits for a more natural look:

◆ Enhanced Color tool: You can now adjust the Spread of your color edits. This gives you the flexibility to define the exact reach of your selection—whether you want a subtle, localized shift or a smooth blend across similar tones in your image.
◆ New Film Grain patterns: Give your edits an authentic, tactile feel with an expanded library of grain styles. These new patterns make it easier to achieve a classic film aesthetic in your vintage or black-and-white photography.
