Google Photos is quickly becoming the number one tool for storing and keeping track of your collection of pictures or videos. Of course, that’s assuming you’re willing to put in the time (and let photos take up more storage space on your phone). Then all that has to be done is press and hold on the faces of the personae non gratae. Parts of Asia, the Middle East, and Africa will also be privy to this feature. However you do it, you’ll have a DNG file that can’t be opened by standard photo editors. What’s more, Google will remove those photos from appearing in assistant cards and also with its TimeHop-like service. With iOS 9, Apple updated the Notes app, adding a few pretty useful features, such as checklist creation, copy / paste shortcuts, picture import, and handwriting.

Android owners, rejoice! Google has released an update for the Android version of its Snapseed app that now supports RAW photo editing. This can make it simple to highlight something in a photo or even jot down something that you can’t type, such as a unique symbol to remember.

Google says the new Snapseed will help you “correct exposure after the fact” with far better results than you’d see from a JPG file, where mucking with the exposure too much can easily ruin an image.
