Snapseed camera on Pixel 8
I finally got my hands on the Snapseed 4.0 update that just rolled out. The biggest addition is the native Snapseed Camera, and honestly, it might change how I shoot on my Pixel 8.The cool part is that you can now shoot directly using your own custom "Looks" or the new film simulations (like Kodak and Fujifilm) in real-time. It applies the effect as you take the photo, so you can theoretically skip the editing step entirely if you've dialed in your style.I did a quick test today at a local scrapyard:
First image: This was taken straight from the Snapseed Camera using a custom "Look" I built. No additional tuning or post-processing just point, shoot, and post. I now this is a little overdone but I just wanted to play with it.
Second image: For comparison, this is the RAW file from the same spot, which I spent a few minutes manually grading in Lightroom.
The Snapseed Camera shot definitely holds its own. The contrast and colors are punchy right out of the gate. It's a huge time-saver if you have a specific aesthetic you want to maintain across your feed without sitting in an editor for every single frame.
The update also adds things like Smart Masking, Batch Editing, and new tools like Bloom and Halation, so it feels like a much more modern app now.
Anyone else tried shooting with the "Looks" enabled yet? Curious if you think it's replacing your default camera app for social shots.
