My iPhone and Snapseed are my "pocket" Hasselblad and Rollieflex. Together, they are an unstoppable combination.

Until 2020, I didn't have a phone that could run Snapseed, nor was I happy with very many of my pix with the single lens and marginal sensor of the day. When I upgraded to an iPhone X with two lenses, I've never looked back!

Overall, the combo has created about 20% of my finished work since 2020. I've even dumped photos from my Nikon into the iPhone to run them through Snapseed.

I do have Nik Silver Efex, but it takes time to process each photo. On my iPhone, similar photos can be processed in seconds. Part of that is that the tool set is optimized and simplified for the smartphone systems, I think.

Rad is right and I'm looking forward to using a lot of the new features!
