I now tried Olympus files - Snapseed works, but handling could be better I clearly prefer Polarr even though it doesn't work with the proper RAW data but uses the embedded RAW instead - in the case of Sony, it's a dismal basic JPEG, Olympus files will let you use half the original resolution (8MP), Canon the full resolution only the slowness with which Snapseed handles the files indicates it's actually doing something special - but it actually does use the original RAW. Just because they’re not the most powerful options on the market doesn’t mean there isn’t a place for simple editing tools on your Chromebook, and if you’re into hitting up the Play Store for your photo editing needs, Photoshop Express and Snapseed should fit the bill nicely.Click to expand.My older Chromebook (Acer C720 - non-touch) didn't offer the Google Play Store either my current 14' Acer CB3-431 does.

The Best Android Apps: Photoshop Express and Snapseed (Free)
#SNAPSEED FOR CHROME INSTALL#
If your Chromebook has support for Linux apps and you’d like to give Gimp a whirl, fire up the terminal and type sudo apt-get install gimp. It’s exceptionally powerful, especially compared to pretty much anything you’ll find on Chrome OS. Gimp is about as full featured as a photo editor can be, all in a nice, tidy, open source package. If you’re looking for the closest thing you’ll find to a full Photoshop replacement without paying a dime for it, Gimp is where it’s at. If you’re lucky enough to have a Chromebook with support for Linux apps (which is a short list right now but might change by the end of 2018), then you have a whole different world available to you. It’s also available for Windows, iOS, and Android, making it a very versatile solution, too. Still, it’s an exceptionally well made app, so it’s worth it.
#SNAPSEED FOR CHROME PRO#
While once upon a time, Polarr offered the Pro version for a one-time flat fee, it now costs $23.99 a year or $2.49 a month. You can use Polarr for free, but there’s also a Pro version that adds a variety of tools to the editor-like better masking tools, more powerful retouching, text, and premium filters. The interface is different than what you may have come to expect from a photo editor, which is one of the things that makes it really good-it’s very intuitive and easy to use.

But that’s where Polarr comes in-it’s great at these kinds of tweaks. If you’re more into retouching photos, cool filters, and the like, then Pixlr will probably leave you wanting. The Best for Retouching and Filters: Polarr (Web, Free/Pro) The mobile app is quite different than what you get in the browser. Pixlr is also available for Android, though it’s really only similar in name.

You may never have any issues, but it’s still something to keep in mind. There’s only one caveat here: Pixlr requires Flash, which can be…buggy. But if you find yourself spending more time in Pixlr than not, the Pro version is probably the way to go. If you just need to occasionally edit photos, the free version will probably get you through just fine. The free version of Pixlr can handle things like layers, simple color tweaks, and more, while the Pro version-which will set you back $5 a month-can open PSD (Photoshop) files, removes ads, and a lot more. This is about as close to a full Photoshop replacement as you’ll find on the majority of Chromebooks out there, with Pixlr covering most of what the bulk of people will do in Photoshop anyway.
