Snapseed Code Hints at Focus Peaking Feature in Development
Strings in Snapseed version 4.1.10.992428248 point to an unreleased Focus Peaking toggle, but the feature did not work when tested.
Google is developing a Focus Peaking feature for the Snapseed camera, according to code found in Snapseed version 4.1.10.992428248 and reported by androidauthority.com. The feature is not yet functional.
According to the findings, the feature would add a Focus Peaking toggle within the camera settings in Snapseed. When enabled, it would highlight in-focus areas in the viewfinder using the app's selected theme color.
In testing, the Focus Peaking toggle could be made to appear, but the feature did not work. That indicates it is still in development rather than available to users.
The same version of the app also added support for HaldCLUT, a format used in LUT workflows. The change points to continued work on color-grading tools inside Snapseed.
Older additions and what may come next
Since Google released the Snapseed 4.0 update earlier this year, the app has received multiple new features. Snapseed currently supports LUTs for editing RAW photos in beta, and the app could soon get an extensive collage-making tool in a future release. The Snapseed camera already includes pro controls, grid lines, and filters.
