Google has begun rolling out Snapseed version 4.2 to Android and iOS users. The update brings the previously iPhone-only Motion Blur tool to Android, adds a depth-based Lens Blur mode with a Bokeh Boost slider, and lets users import LUTs and presets in formats including .cube, .xmp, .3dl, .png, and .snapseed. It also adds support for sharing custom Looks with their LUTs, browsing community Looks, and full multi-wheel Color Grading.
