I wanted to know what you guys used for your photo editing. Are you a snapseed, vsco, Google Photos or "unnamed" app?

Google Photos, usually just the auto edit.
Oh that's cool.. I don't believe lg has its own, but when you click edit on a pic it opens Google Photos editorKinda intruding, I'm on an S8.
Mostly Snapseed. I only started editing picks to posts pics/home screens. And when I started making my own wallpapers. I messed around with Samsung's editing tools, which I like actually. I kinda switch between both to be honest.
For computer, I use GIMP too. And RAW Therapee.gimp. on the computer. I can't do any serious editing on the phone.
raw works as it should in lightroom and photoshop express on the g6. i kind of prefer lightroom but how it works can be a bit complex.
It depends on what I'm doing I have Snapseed, but I find it doesn't retain colors as well as some others. For example:
//uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20170715/3a2021df6b226e11ce7df2589b398cee.jpg
The main image is straight out of the camera. The lower insert is the best I could do with Snapseed, and the upper was with Photoshop Express. Notice how Snapseed really blew out the purple in her glove, and the lack of red eye removal. Photoshop Express was much better at retaining the color accuracy. While that may have been in part do to my skills, PE still beats it simply for having red eye removal for both people and pets. Not sure about Snapseed, but PE can use both the DNG RAW files your phone creates and other RAW formats like from my Olympus DSLR.
Where Snapseed does win out, are two big areas. The biggest is it seems to be the only app capable of reading the DNG RAW files properly on photos taken by my V20. PE and Lightroom Mobile both render the RAW files as 1MP images and thus save them at this reduced resolution.
(Side note, the V20 is the only phone I've had with this issue. Using PE and Lightroom Mobile on my G4 didn't have problems with reducing RAW resolutions. So I don't know if this is even an issue on the G6.)
The other positive of Snapseed is the ability to selectively edit certain areas of a photo. It's limited to just a few edit functions like exposure or dodge/burning, but other apps are only global adjustments.
Another one I often use is Photo Editor

If anyone saw the supposed GIMP app in the Play store not long ago, it was a complete copy of this app, to which the developer filled a copyright claim to get the fake GIMP app pulled.
Photo Editor has some very good crop, text, and batch processing features. It also seems to have a lot of additional powerful tools, but I haven't got that deep into the weeds with it. I use it mainly to crop for Facebook posting and to create text for meme photos. Lol.
