Google+ For Android Gets Non-Destructive Image Editing Share This on LinkedIn   Share This on Google   Tweet This   Forward This

27 February 2014

An update to Google+ for Android adds four new features, including non-destructive image editing across your devices. The update is rolling out gradually, according to Todd Kennedy, who posted the news.

Non-destructive editing records your edits as a recipe that is applied to the original image data, which remains untouched. You can roll back an edit at any time and on any supported device.

Other new features include:

  • New Snapseed-inspired filters and creative tools like crop and rotate
  • An "All" view to see your entire photo library
  • Browse photos by date

The text of Kennedy's post with more details follows.

New Photo Features in Google+ for Android

Today's update to Google+ for Android is all about photos. In particular, the app includes:

Non-destructive photo editing across devices

Starting today you can start your edits on one device and continue (or start over) on another. This means you can backup full-resolution photos from your desktop, edit them in seconds on your phone, then add some finishing touches from your tablet. (And you can revert to your originals at any time!) The technical term for this experience is non-destructive editing in the cloud and we think you'll really enjoy it.

Brand new filters and creative tools

Now when you edit your photos, you'll have a powerful set of tools (like crop and rotate), 1-touch filters and Snapseed-inspired enhancements (like Drama, Retrolux and HDR Scape). Mix and match to make your photos look their absolute best.

A single view of all your photos

The new 'All' view displays your entire photo library -- whether it's on your current device or backed up in the cloud. If your library is really large (> 10s of thousands of photos), the app won't show all your photos initially. But stay tuned, because we're supporting larger and larger libraries over the next few weeks.

An easy way to browse your photos by date

In addition to search, there's now another way to find your photos fast. Just swipe through your photos in the All' view and look for the scroll bar on the right. Dragging the scroll bar up or down will quickly move you forwards or backwards in time.

The app is rolling out gradually to Google Play (v4.3, http://goo.gl/ruuHW), so check back soon if you don't see it yet. #googleplusupdate
