Side note: why is it SO HARD to put two images together into one image file on a smartphone? There are multiple apps that want $1.99/mo for the privilege of making a collage, Instagram Layout has been broken for years now, and the first party solutions (particularly Google Photos) are overengineered in some big ways (like not allowing you to make a collage without some kind of border) and underengineered in others (like not allowing you to choose an image from a search, make a different search, and then choose another image). And as far as I can tell the only way to actually put one image on top of another is to use Double Exposure on Snapseed.
We’ve had this problem solved on Windows for literally my entire life, and I’m pushing 40. So why can’t we figure out basic, no frills raster editing on mobile? I’m not even talking about layers (though, yes please). I’m talking about pretty much anything other than a filter.
My Samsung does it very easily with decent customization options in Gallery (and has for at least two phones). What phone are you using that can’t? I agree the collage feature in Google photos is lame.
Pixel, but I’ve had the problem with Motorola and LG in the past too.
Samsung has enough other problems that I’ll never make that leap, but it’s good to know that somebody is working on it.
Gotcha! I’ve stuck with Samsung because they make a phone that will fit in the pathetic excuse that is women’s pants pockets. My husband tried to get me to switch to the Pixel but it was too big.
