This technology allows developers to execute native code in a sandbox in the browser. Snapseed never existed on the web, so the easiest way to port these features to the web, Google’s engineers must have decided, was to go the Native Client route.Īs you’ve probably heard a thousand times now, it’s virtually impossible to build great photo apps that can rival the likes of Photoshop in HTML5. The tools themselves are based on the technology the company acquired from Nik Software, the makers of the popular photo-manipulation app Snapseed.
The reason for that is simple: the new tools use Google’s own Native Client technology that no other browser vendor has adopted. Just like the rest of the Google+ photo tools, these new features are a step ahead of the competition, but there’s also an issue: they only work in Chrome (and in the native iOS and Android Google+ apps). Last week, Google stepped up its efforts and launched a set of new photo-editing tools, including the ability to fine-tune Google+’s Auto Enhance feature, apply new filters and selectively adjust parts of an image. Indeed, most of the innovation on the company’s social network so far has been around photos, including the #AutoAwesome launch at I/O. Google is betting big on photos on Google+.
