Snapseed: Last Week’s Instagram — In Flow – Re-Blog

Once a week—or every so often—I will display one of my photos captured and/or processed with Instagram over the last week.

With more travel coming up I have been experimenting recently with quick methods of posting to this blog via Instagram, 500px, etc. That’s been fun – more on that later…

Today started with a post from 500px about the 500px RAW software. 500px RAW is, of course, iOS only. There was some discussion of Snapseed as a good raw processing alternative, which sparked some interest as I had never used it.

Then I looked at the wordpress reader and saw this post and its reference to Snapseed!

In case you haven’t heard about Snapseed, it was produced initially for iOS on iPad. Owners Nik Software then further developed it for iPhone and Windows. When Nik Software was taken over by Google, the Windows software was dropped and the system ported to Android. (Thumbnail of the reference on Wikipedia.)

So. Snapseed is on my Android device, and on my iPad. Let’s see what can be achieved! Watch this space.
