Sven, I really like the 2.0 update. The new user interface is a breath of fresh air and works quite well for me. Thanks for the hard work I know must have gone into it! Like others who have posted in this forum, however, I've been puzzled by the new file saving process, which could be an unintended consequence of the new 'stacks' non-destructive workflow feature.

The previous Snapseed 1.6.4 saved each edited image to the Camera Roll album as a new jpg file with a new numerical file name (such as IMG5443.JPG for example) and also (optionally) copied the file to a Snapseed album. Snapseed 2 for iOS no longer saves to the Camera Roll album at all (at least not on my device, an iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.3). It saves edited files with a long file name like 'Photo Apr 10, 1 13 02 PM' to a Snapseed album WITHOUT saving to the Camera Album. This is new and unfamiliar behavior for a photo-editing app in iOS. This is extremely inconvenient for me as my two automatic pipelines for moving images from my iOS devices to my desktop computer, (Lightroom Mobile sync, and Photostream to Aperture via iCloud), both copy images from the Camera Roll album and ignore the Snapseed 2 edited images saved exclusively into the Snapseed album. So at present any Snapseed 2 edited images must be transferred one by one via email or some similar method. You replied to Ghislane MacPherson's question in the 'saving in snapped' thread on this forum by stating: - ' You can hit 'Save' and then either a) 'Save' which saves the changes to the current image in the camera roll (assuming you're on iOS).

This makes use of iOS 8's local non destructive framework, so the original photo gets replaced by the current edited one but still can be reverted later. B) 'Save copy' which creates a new copy of the photos that includes the edit (and still could be reverted)' If you see iCloud or other options, then you've probably hit the 'dot dot dot' button and then either chose 'share' or 'open in' - So I just wanted to reiterate that on my iPhone 6 Plus and my iPad 3, Snapseed 2 does NOT save edited files to the Camera Roll album (like every other photo editing app does). I would love to see this bug fixed soon as Snapseed has been the most-used photo editing app on my iPhone, and with this file saving bug I'm avoiding it, which makes me sad.

My suggestion fwiw is that the 'Save a Copy' option be rewritten create a simple non-stacking (non reverting) jpg with original exif metadata intact directly into the Camera Roll album with a new sequential numerical file name, just as Snapseed 1.6.4 (and all other iOS photo editing apps) have always done. I think most users would find that to be 'expected' behavior for 'Save a Copy'. Terri Bruffett 12/4/2015, 12:05 น. I'm also having an issue with saving. Mine seems to be a little different but with the same frustrations. My edit is saved on the Camera Roll, however only on the device I'm editing in.

Whether it's my iPad or iPhone, it doesn't update the other device. It's my Photo Stream album that reads each other. But for the Photo Stream album, I just get an additional copy of the original. So end result is an edited version in the Camera Roll on only one device. Then both are updated on my Photo Stream but that only has a new copy of the original. That copy will also be duplicated on my PC.

I'm not following most of this technical stuff but here's my issue as I see it. As you state, the Camera Roll & Snapseed album are updated with the edits & stacking information. However that only happens on the device used. Which means if I do my edits on my iPad, they do not sync to my iPhone. What does sync between devices is the Photo Stream album. So here's the problem.when I save in Snapseed, besides your software saving in Camera Roll & Snapseed albums, like stated above, it does also save a copy in my Photo Stream, however, it's an unedited copy. Since that is the album that syncs between devices, I now have 2 copies of my original on both devices & only 1 edited copy on 1 device.

I have done the e-mail thing but that loses the stacking information. So as long as I don't need to make further edits on the other device, it's an option. Seems to me, if you can add the photo Stream album to the other 2 updated albums, won't that do the trick?

Probably not that easy or I'm sure you guys would have already done it but we need something done. Heber flyleaf 13/4/2015, 13:00 น. Thank you for the detailed and thoughtful replies! I've read the Apple Support doc you linked to above and I'm floored.

This is the first I've heard about this new framework. Quoting from the Support doc now: 'Only unedited originals will import to your Mac.' So fill me in on one detail - I think I'm getting this, but I'm not sure Apple has introduced a brand-new non-destructive workflow framework in iOS 8 which you guys are among the first (or maybe the very first) to have rolled into your application, and it makes possible this re-opening of any image edited in Snapseed 2 and then continuing with edits (or revert and start-over editing the image), just as one can do using the editing tools in Apple's 'Photos' app. But - as detailed in once you incorporate this new non-destructive workflow into your app your users can no longer transfer their edited images to other iOS or Mac devices using Photostream or iCloud Photo Library sync, Lightroom Mobile, etc. the edited image will transfer as a duplicate of the original, without edits.

Smart and cool, but really dumb too. When I use third party apps that utilize the very latest Apple framework and I have to put up with multiplying identical originals on my other Apple devices (and use a workaround to get my edited image to those same devices)!!! So app developers get blamed by their app's users for what appears to be their mistake (bug) but is really not their fault at all! And in this case, given the 'helpful' opacity of the iOS file saving and storage approach the whole thing is utterly confusing and can't be clearly explained to any but the most tech-savvy of those users.

I was heartbroken when I opened Snapseed yesterday and saw the new app. Snapseed has been my go-to iOS photo editing app for years! I am so disappointed and frustrated that I have to now learn a totally new user interface. Yes, there seems to be some cool new features (brushes, spot tool, etc.) but why totally change the UI? As described in detail here, the save/export function is not at all intuitive. I can't seem to easily get my Snapseed 2.0 edited images imported onto my Mac. Previously I edited an image in Snapseed, saved that edited image to my iOS device’s camera roll, and then imported that edited image into iPhoto, Lightroom, etc.

That workflow is now broken. So far I am very disappointed with this 'update.' And again the lack of an EASY workflow for getting a Snapseed v2 edited image into my Mac is a HUGE problem. I had been recommending Snapseed to all the photographers I knew as the best photo editing app out there: it's a sad day that I'll now have to rethink that recommendation.

Thanks Tim for outlining this issue so well with step by step actions. I am not a techy person at all but was able to follow your numbered steps. It did look a little complicated but I followed it through and now have an edited copy on both my devices. Hopefully something can be done long term in the future. Seems like there are a lot of unhappy folks out there but if I'm reading the explanation correctly, it's not really Snapseed's fault.

In any case, thanks for the guidance. Bret Clancy 15/4/2015, 13:21 น. So I am experiencing something a little different than what other people are mentioning. I save a photo that has been edited in Snapseed, and the system asks me if I want to allow Snapseed to modify the photo.

I select yes, and the edits are saved to the photos app. But then I want to post the image to Instagram and I don't see it in the photo picker there. I try to edit the image in the photos app after Snapseed has edited it, and it gives me a message that the image is read only.

If I want to make changes it will create a copy. This behavior is sporadic, and sometimes it seems that I don't have this problem. StephenDrake 16/4/2015, 20:18 น.

Any update on the poor SAVE feature? I'm blown away that Google is so insensitive to its passionate user base: professional photographers like myself who have been using Snapseed as their primary mobile photo editing app for years. I can't tell you how many others I've turned onto Snapseed!

I'm still frustrated trying to use the new version and am actively looking for an alternative if Google can't provide me with something as 'intuitive' as the original Snapseed experience. I can't stand the new UI, but I could live with that if this horrible SAVE function made sense. Rob Rocke 27/4/2015, 10:18 น. Totally agree with Rob about the saving feature. The usual logic of Save and Save a copy would be save a destructive and a non destructive. Or I wonder if it would be considered to make Snapseed saving edited file into its own storage, so that it could appear in the iTunes/Fire Sharing/Apps section, then we could directly manipulate files from/to Snapseed from computer.

Even better if we could have a desktop version of Snapseed V2, which could re-edit non-destructive files transferred from mobile app. My current workaround is to use Airdrop between my phone Camera Roll and Mac to move the edited photo from the Camera Roll. Then I have to import into Lightroom, but Airdrop is simple and better than email. You have to have a Mac new enough to support Airdrop though. It's frustrating, as I would prefer to use Photo Stream to Lightroom Mobile on the iPad. Otherwise I love the new interface, I spent an hour or so playing with it when it was released and it is much more powerful than earlier, and I have been able to get rid of some other apps.

Especially the perspective changes. Mace510 19/5/2015, 12:48 น. Yes, this problem of saving is really the worst.

When I save images I've edited in Snapseed in either of the two ways the app allows, 'Save' or Save Copy', I can see my edits but when I upload them to iPhoto, the edits all disappear. Snapseed's update it terrible in my opinion, but I'd still use it if it weren't for this particular bug. No way am I using a bunch of complicated work arounds.

What's the point? I've already switched over to Camera+. Snapseed is no longer my go-to app, but if this bug would get fixed, I'd still keep it. Otherwise, I'm ditching it. Maybe that's the point? Still, hope it gets fixed.

Its impossible to transfer snapseed-edited photos to my computer. I am a photographer and have over 500 photos I urgently need. Dropbox is no good since it only uses Camera Roll.

However.I find that Flickr does work with a few provisos. If you set Flickr to Auto Upload - which in theory automatically downloads all photos from your iphone either via WiFi or cellular network.

Trouble it that Flickr downloads the photos in random order (urghhh!) and misses out perhaps 70% of all of your precious photos. I find that downloading manually about 20 at a time seems to work. Then how do you get 500 photos from Flickr onto your computer?

Download to your computer a bit of software called 'downloadair'. Once the software has been downloaded click into Flickr and select a whole album of photos (after first putting photos into an album in Flickr e.g. In this way you can get snapseed photos from your phone to your computer.

The trick is not to try and download too many snapseed photos to Flickr - just 20 at a time. James Cockroft 2/6/2015, 14:00 น. This is from the first post in this forum: - Edited images do not save properly on iOS or when transferring to a computer. This will occur in any app that has not yet updated to the latest iOS API, or application programming interface.

As a workaround to properly transfer the edited image, please use an alternate cloud-based file-sharing app with the current API, like Google Drive or Dropbox. You may find interesting as it goes into far more detail than this couple of sentences. Elizabeth Molineux 28/6/2015, 8:18 น. On last week's trip I noticed the Snapseed 'save' function had changed.

At first I did 'save a copy' and then switched to 'export'. Now that I'm back home and have imported all raw files from my camera's card, I am unable to identify Snapseed processed images on my iPad. They appear to be interspersed with each batch of card uploads and are not in the Snapseed folder. They aren't JPG files! Based on this thread I understand why they are layered raw files but this doesn't help me find edited and 'picked' files. It seems I need to check each file for minor crops, slight rotations, etc unless I did a monochrome conversion or anything equally obvious. Okay, after reading and reading and reading (and testing and testing and testing suggested solutions).

This 'import into Camera+' solution has been the easiest workaround I've seen. It was ALMOST painless. Only thing more painless would be for this whole this to be like it used to be, with no need for ANY workarounds. Edit in snapseed, which I still adore. Edit a whole bunch of pix. Then open Camera +. On their camera roll, hit the '+' in the upper right corner.

Find the 'Snapseed' album. Import all edited photos. Then while all those photos are still selected, now in the Camera + roll, hit 'save', and 'save and remove' them. All edited pix now show up in your camera roll AND DCIM folders on your PC. Thank you, Anon.!!!!! WHATISUP 6/8/2015, 12:08 น.

I used a free app called iBrowse , which lets you view the iOS file system, and from there I went to Media/PhotoData/Mutations/DCIM, and from there you will see the same folder set that you get for the original photos, such as 100APPLE, and from there you will see a set of IMG folders, with each folder having another folder named Adjustments, and then you will see the updated JPEG file. You can then simply use the 'Export to Folder' feature from iBrowse to move whatever you want. I exported all of the top level folders (100APPLE, etc) as I wanted a copy of everything.

A year ago, tech giant Google took flag for on the Mac and Windows platforms, just six months after it. Now, Snapseed Desktop is back - in a manner of speaking. An sees Snapseed-like selective editing appearing on the social network, and for bonus points, it's non-destructive, allowing you to change your edits after the fact, or even to roll them back completely. In a post on his personal blog, Google product manager for digital photography, John Nack, as being 'Snapseed for Mac/Windows in all but name'. Google+ Photos now includes Snapseed-like selective editing and filter effects. Admittedly, it's no longer a desktop app, and that's a pretty significant change.

In other respects, though, we can see what he means. As well as cropping and basic adjustments for brightness, contrast, saturation, shadows, warmth, sharpness and structure - not to mention a variety of presets - Google Plus now provides both selective editing through control points, a selection of seven customizable Creative Adjustment filters, and 23 adjustable photo frames. Here, we've applied the HDR Scape filter with a strong effect.

Google Plus has yet to really make inroads into the social market, with bitter rival Facebook still utterly dominant in much of the English-speaking world. Google+ Photos' new features are a major point of differentiation from Facebook, though, and even go beyond what's possible with the hugely-popular Instagram (which Facebook acquired last year). Google is clearly hoping that comprehensive photo editing tools will help it spur more widespread adoption of the social network, in part because social networking traffic provides it with hugely-valuable information with which to hone its core products - search and advertising.
