Award winning image editing app Snapseed has received little attention since being acquired by Google in late 2012, but today the app was updated to version 1.6.0, adding a new HDR-style filter and a new Shadows slider in the Tune Image options menu that is designed to brighten dark areas of an image without washing out the lighter areas.

What's new

- The new HDR SCAPE filter brings a stunning look to your images
- A new Shadows slider in Tune Image brightens dark areas naturally
- Plus bug fixes and other small improvements
According to the release notes, Snapseed users who are running the app on iOS 5 or iOS 6 should avoid the new update, as it causes issues with saving or sharing images. The problem will be fixed in a second update, which is coming soon.

Today's Snapseed update comes alongside multiple Google+ photo enhancements that will be introduced in the near future, including full-resolution uploads and automatic photo and video editing.

Snapseed is a universal app that can be downloaded from the App Store for free. [Direct Link]

Cool, but I don't need a push notification for every app update. Can't you make it so I can choose to only receive push when there are new frontpage stories?
 
I'm sure this is nice. Really interested though in seeing some movement on the main Nik plugins suite. I don't recall seeing any updates in quite a while after the re-packaging and re-pricing.
 
Looks like they added support for opening jpg files from other apps now too (if the other app has an "Open in..." option to open a jpg file in another app, Snapseed now shows up in the list of supported apps).

I've been wanting that for a long time. :)
 
I thought after Google bought this the updates would be slim.

now I have to look it over.
 
haha, I thought this was for Leafsnap, and was thinking I could now identify a tree by taking a pic of the leaf's shadow.
