At the risk of sounding flippant (not my intention) is there any particular reason why you don't just download it and give it a try ? It's not like it's going to cost you anything.

Thanks Rob and you are fine. I have installed Snapseed now on my S20 and was hoping to talk to some people who are using it. I'm pretty good with Lightroom and PS CC on my computer but am behind the curve when it comes to editing on a phone. For example I haven't yet figured out how to put the Snapseed icon on my home page. Also when I bring up a photo in my phone is there any way to use an "open with" feature like on the computer to open it in Snapseed? I realize I can open Snapseed and then browse to my photo to open it. Thanks.

As a 'sort of' response, I have a Pixel 3 and i have used Snapseed for some of the filters, which provided some effects i liked, and are suitable for online/casual use. For 'normal' photo re-touching, i tend to stick with the basic stuff in Google Photos.

You can also browse to a photo and click share and it will bring up all the apps you can share with - Snapseed will be one of them. Just click it and away you go.

Thanks for the reply and info. That sounds like the best way to get the image into Snapseed and there isn't a way to get the Snapseed icon onto my S20's home page.

I like Snapseed but I was looking for an app that allowed me to import multiple photos into the app and then edit them (with the ability to copy and paste changes) before exporting them in bulk. In the end I'm using Lightroom for mobile. As long as you are not editing RAW, the app is free and the free version includes most editing options. It works very well.

Are you shooting raw on your phone and editing those files in Lightroom mobile? I have the S20.

No, I only shoot in JPEG. I think if you want to edit RAW you have to pay for the subscription.
