This is what Google's new independent photo service looks like
After the rumors and the first steps taken by Google in the divorce between its social network Google+ and its photo storage service, now comes the first real leak of the application that, finally, will allow the management of all the user's images in a completely independent way. And it is that Google Photos is already a reality that only has to be announced. A service to save, sort, view, retouch, and share imagesQuestions that the user can do directly through a simple and very attractive application, as has been verified.
It has been the medium Android Police who has had early access to this application. A real tool that, despite all its features and looks, could still undergo some noticeable changes before its release to everyone. However, we can get a good idea of how it will look like and what it will offer to users who want to backup images from their smartphone or tablet
Basically, Google Photos is not far from the service offered through Google+ Of course, its independent application is renewed, and there are some changes to comment. On the one hand, there is its design and general appearance, in which Google strongly bets on the style Material Design, colors and animations.On the other, some functionality has changed its name, although it is still present. This is the case of the previous section Automatic Effects (Awesome), in charge of improve the appearance and create content automatically with our photos, and which is now called Assistant However, its operation is similar, being able to create videos , touch up images, create GIF animations and more like collages of up to nine imagesfrom the application menu.
Another of the changes that this independent application presents with respect to the previous version is the possibility of switching between different types of views Thus, the image gallery can now be sorted by different criteria like days, months or even view a large number of thumbnails to move more quickly between them. Along with this, we have introduced the possibility to use gestures such as pinch to see an image in detail, while browsing the entire gallery.It is also possible to make a multiple selection in the gallery by simply holding down and sliding your finger through the different images.
There is also a new way of sharing images And this application will offer various features such as Maintain user privacy by removing location information from photos, allowing you to share them via a simple link with any other user to view or download. All this without forgetting the integration of the application Snapseed in the service. A very powerful photo editing tool to change your look from top to bottom.
Of course, as a good leak, it is still subject to possible changes before its official presentation. In short, an continuous independent application, which hardly looks like an update to your service.Now all we have to do is wait for Google to announce it official and publish it in the different app stores.
