What it means for you

If you edit photos with Snapseed, you get new blur effects and can bring in your favourite looks from other editors.

What to do

Update Snapseed from the Play Store or App Store.

The details

Motion Blur can blur the whole scene, streak the background behind a sharp subject, or blur the subject itself. LUTs come in .cube, .xmp, .3dl, .png and .snapseed formats, and you can share your own Looks. A Community Looks gallery inside the app shows looks made by other users.
