Now, we’re building off that idea and applying it to the editor to make editing easy-with Google Photos doing most of the heavy lifting.

Google Photos already helps you get the most of your photos by providing helpful suggestions like brightening, rotating or archiving a picture while you're viewing it. Today, we’re rolling out a new, more helpful editor in the Google Photos app on Android with smart suggestions and easy-to-use granular adjustments, so your photos look their very best. Or maybe it means achieving a look that perfectly reflects your own personal style. For some, that might mean getting the lighting or crop just right.

We’re excited to bring the powerful photo editing tools once only used by professionals to even more people now. Here's what Google's officials stated in yesterday's announcement: 'As we continue to focus our long-term investments in building incredible photo editing tools for mobile, including Google Photos and Snapseed, we’ve decided to make the Nik Collection desktop suite available for free, so that now anyone can use it. For someone who casually edits images, these tools may offer a bit more features than actually needed, but if you're a professional photo editor, these plug-ins will surely come in very handy.

In case you're curios, the seven available plugins are Analog Efex Pro, Color Efex Pro, HDR Efex Pro, Silver Efex Pro, Dfine, Sharpener Pro and Viveza. The product contains a series of plugins designed to work with Photoshop, Lightroom, Photoshop Elements and Aperture.
