Years ago I quit enjoying photography. So, I considered what photography involved for me, made a list of the discrete steps, and then scored how much I enjoyed each step. Sitting in front of a computer editing a photo was the lowest on my scale of enjoyment. Then I kept track of how I was spending my time and, damn, what I liked the least was consuming most of my time.

The first thing I did was take time, read the manual, and really master my DSLR. Then I found an editor that was less powerful but easier and quicker to use. As I got old and tired of carrying cameras, lens, and stuff the phone cameras got better and I started using them. The pace of change for technology increased as did the options for editing.

Now, I spend a few weeks simply mastering the camera software in the new phone. Now I find that I can do my minimal editing, usually, in Google Photos with Snapseed for "Perspective".

I rarely ever do any "editing" on my phone.

Good points.

I enjoy photo editing, although I can easily understand why you don't.

Do you use Snapseed because you like it best? Or because it's too difficult to transfer cellphone photos to a PC for editing?

GIMP is a much better JPEG editor, with more features including noise reduction (NR).

ILC cameras are certainly inconvenient due to their poor transfer facilities. Memory card, USB, WiFi - cumbersome, slow, glacial.

With Open Camera installed, and set to DRO (dynamic range optimization) I see less noise than in similar photos taken in DNG and converted with Snapseed, which lacks NR.

I have a PC sitting on my desk but I don't use it any long. I'm using a Chromebook. When I come in from taking photos it isn't long before my photos are in Google Photos on my laptop. I can do what minimal editing I usually do in Google Photos. If I want to correct perspective on the wide-angle lens I can move to Snapseed from within Google Photos and when I'm done a copy of the Snapseed photo with the perspective corrected in in Google Photos.
