Google just released the first major Snapseed update in years
Snapseed was originally only available on iOS before Google acquired it in 2012 as part of a bid to compete with Instagram. Google later launched Snapseed on Android and made the app free to use. Along with several tools for tweaking RAW and JPG files, Snapseed also offers several filters, including some new vintage ones added with this latest update.
The new 3.0 update gives Snapseed a new look on iOS, bringing a new 'Faves' option to the center of the bottom toolbar and allowing you to save specific tools. The 'Looks' tab stays in the same spot on the left side of the toolbar, while Google replaced the 'Export' option with 'Tools' on the right. As noted by 9to5Google, the 'Export' is now in the top-right corner.
'We're bringing a whole new look and feel to Snapseed on iOS,' Google spokesperson Michael Marconi said in a statement to The Verge. 'There are so many people who have loved using Snapseed to edit their photos over the years, so we're giving it a fresh look with a more intuitive layout and a few new features.'
It doesn't appear that the update is coming to Snapseed on Android at the same time as iOS, as Marconi said Google doesn't 'have anything to share yet.'

A Flash in the Pan: The Strange Story of Kodak's Ill-Fated Crypto Venture
Key Takeaways Eastman Kodak on Monday warned it could be forced to declare bankruptcy for the second time since 2012. Its last bankruptcy led the company to pursue licensing deals, one of which, in 2018, involved a blockchain-powered photo rights platform, KODAKOne, and associated cryptocurrency, KODAKCoin. KODAKCoin's private placements and initial coin offering, undertaken during 2018's crypto winter, were poorly received, and KODAKOne never launched in Kodak (KODK), after more than 100 years in business, may not be long for this world. The company issued a 'going concern' warning on Monday, informing investors it lacks the financing or adequate cash flow to pay debt that's coming due in the next 12 months. Kodak, once one of the largest companies in the world and a developer of cutting-edge technology, fell victim to the digitization of photography and, after years of declining sales, declared bankruptcy in 2012. It emerged from bankruptcy focused on printing technology and specialty chemicals while licensing its brand name on the side. That line of business roped it into a questionable venture in the world of cryptocurrency at what proved to be an inauspicious time. What Was KODAKOne? Kodak, in January 2018, announced a licensing agreement with the company WENN Digital, which agreed to launch KODAKOne, a platform through which photographers could use blockchain technology to manage and monetize their photos, and KODAKCoin, a native cryptocurrency. The platform was to be launched with the funds raised from a KODAKCoin initial coin offering, which began in May 2018. Kodak's licensing agreement reportedly gave it a minority stake in WENN Digital, 3% of all KodakCoins, and future royalties. The idea was that photographers would upload their photographs to KODAKOne, where they would license the images and use web-crawling software to flag copyright violations. Users would be paid in KODAKCoin for all business conducted on the platform. The rub: the KODAKCoin ICO, to comply with securities laws, was only open to accredited investors—anyone with a net worth of more than $1 million or annual income of $200,000 or more. So, photographers were to be paid in a cryptocurrency that could only be used to pay for services on the platform, which KODAKOne said would eventually include a marketplace for the sale and rental of equipment or studio space. But if they wanted to convert any of that KODAKCoin into dollars, they would need to find a rich person to buy it. That may not have been an issue if KODAKCoin took off in its ICO, but its reception was lukewarm at best. According to the project's confidential offering memorandum, which cryptocurrency blogger David Gerard acquired and published in the midst of the ICO, an early 2018 private placement raised just $880,000 of the $6.75 million that was expected. Bad Idea Meets Bad Timing Kodak's attempt to jump on the crypto train appeared fruitful at first. Shares tripled in value in the days after the January 8 announcement. Unfortunately for Kodak, its foray into digital assets coincided with the onset of crypto winter—the cyclical slump in crypto markets that tends to follow periods of speculative frenzy. The price of bitcoin slid from a record high of more than $20,000 in late 2017 to less than $4,000 in December 2018. In October 2018, KODAKOne launched a beta version of its licensing portal, which reportedly generated $1 million in licensing claims in its first two months. But the portal never exited beta mode, nor was KODAKCoin ever integrated with the platform. The last time Kodak mentioned the project was in August 2019, when it noted the volatility of the cryptocurrency market could pose a risk to its stock price. By the time of its third-quarter earnings report in November, crypto was no longer a risk. According to Gerber, KODAKOne's web domain was effectively shut down in late 2020.

Crypto is having a breakout summer — and bitcoin isn't the reason: Morning Brief
Riding high from a series of legislative wins and a wave of new financial initiatives, crypto investors are on the up and up. Another blast of positive catalysts has given the crypto world even more room to run this week. And most notably, the big news items don't really involve bitcoin. Circle (CRCL), the issuer of the second-largest stablecoin, posted better-than-expected quarterly revenue for the first time since going public. Bitmine (BMNR), an Ethereum treasury company, announced plans to sell up to another $20 billion worth of stock to boost its holdings of the cryptocurrency. And an array of popular altcoins are gaining ground. The moves collectively reflect the warm embrace of the Trump administration, which has championed the crypto industry and shifted the regulatory environment long seen as an obstacle to the adoption and growth of digital currency. But the success of Wall Street's crypto hedges also underscores rising institutional interest. Despite the risks, and perhaps because of them, more investors are growing comfortable with crypto exposure. And companies are chasing the returns of amassing tokens in a feedback loop that, however fleeting and precarious, seems to be paying off. Sign up for the Yahoo Finance Morning Brief By subscribing, you are agreeing to Yahoo's Terms and Privacy Policy Home to the fastest-growing major stablecoin over the past year, Circle shares are up more than 400% from its IPO price of $31 per share. As our colleague Ines Ferré reported, the company has been at the center of optimism over the stablecoin market following the passage of the GENIUS Act, legislation that creates a framework for digital tokens backed by assets such as the US dollar. Circle makes much of its money from interest income, specifically from short-term Treasury bills backing its stablecoin, USDC. After announcing a new blockchain network for stablecoin finance on Tuesday, shares rose another 3%. It's a play that could deliver some of crypto's promise for innovation to the financial services industry, and Wall Street and investors are paying attention — and making sure they're involved. Bitmine's surge highlights another pillar of crypto's ascendance in the financial world: the rise of crypto treasury companies. Riffing off the playbook of Strategy (MSTR), which sells new shares and debt to buy and hold more bitcoin, other players are finding success by accumulating other currencies, like ethereum. Bitmine, whose board is led by investor Tom Lee, announced this week that its holdings of ETH now account for roughly 1% of all tokens in circulation, sending the stock up more than 14%. The company's goal is to eventually reach 5% of the world's outstanding ETH tokens. Shares have surged over 600% this year. As this newsletter has written recently, the crypto accumulation strategy isn't working for every imitator, but it does work, as bitcoin continues to climb. But it's not just the dominant tokens that are gaining steam. Over the past week, the 10 largest digital currencies, according to data from CoinMarketCap, have gained. As our colleague Jake Conley reported, Ripple ( and Chainlink (LINK-USD) are among the altcoins rallying, fueled by an acquisition of a payment platform and the launch of a token reserve, respectively. The heady action seems far removed from the crypto winters of the past. But if this is the dawn of a new financial system, as crypto bulls like to profess, this summer is making it a lot easier to make that case.
