[Q] Google photo editor? - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've installed Google Photos but every time I go to edit I get limited options. I'm assuming this is an LG thing. The editor that opens from my Google Photos app in my GPe device. And the options and editing is much nicer.
Anyone notice this or have issue with the default edit options?

I have tried and tried but the only editing functions that work are the crop, rotate. Everything else is there but is non responsive!
If I go into the photo gallery and look at a picture and click the little pencil to "edit" it will bring me to the edit screen but it won't let me do anything within the editor without crashing .

There is an update. It works great.

Yes! I'm not happy about it either. How do you go back? I actually called lg and the guy I spoke with said it maybe the Android software that's caused this. I don't know becaus I deleted Google pbotos, I lost editing options under my galery. When I reinstalled Google photos the editing options came back but still limited. Any idea how to go back to the old way?

If you want to apply more edit to the photos, install Snapseed. The LG stock gallery will open up Snapseed for editing/stuffs.
Not bad I must say.

[Q] KitKat Photo Editor Unavailable

I don't have the option to edit photos using the stock KitKat Photo Editor. Why is this?
When I choose to edit a photo, it only gives me the options to use the photo editing apps I have downloaded, but not the stock KitKat Gallery/Photo Editor. The stock photo editor allows for some nice features that I would like to use.
Turn on Wifi and be connected over it. Then try to edit your photos. It will ask you to edit it with editor. Need to be downloaded, but works only over Wi-Fi.
Turning on WiFi didn't seem to work for me. I just ended up downloading a kitkat gallery app. Annoying but I can live with it. Thanks!
If there are still suggestion I'd love to hear.

[Q] Uploading Pictures & Camera Settings

Sprint 64GB White S6 completely stock, no modifications or anything installed except Purple theme from Play Store.
Uploading Pictures: When I attempt to upload a picture to Google's reverse image search or Imgur or any online website, I can select the file but it does not upload anything and simply refreshes the webpage.
Camera Settings: When I hit the Settings button within my Camera, it flashes with the resolutions for the front-facing (selfie) camera, ordinary camera, and video settings, but it only flashes for about half a second and then goes away. Is this due to another setting or is something wrong and is there a fix to this?
Thanks.
Which browser are you using?

Which browser are you using on your GS6 to attempt uploads of images? I used the native Chrome browser and was able to successfully upload to TinEye...

Gallery from Camera only showing last photo taken

When I go to preview photos after taking a few pictures, (by clicking the gallery circle at the bottom right in the camera) I can only see the LAST picture taken and do not have the ability to swipe to any others. I never had a phone that worked like this and its kinda annoying to have to leave the camera app, then go open the gallery and find latest photos just to preview them, possibly delete them, then have to go BACK into the camera app to retake and repeat jumping between apps..
Is there a setting I have on that's causing this?
This function (or lack of) really just doesn't make any sense.
You need to go reset the default app that's associated. For example, I previously had clicked that preview picture and opened with (and set to default) Google photos, which only shows one picture and does not swipe. I went into google photos and cleared defaults, then went back into the camera app and clicked the preview picture. I then selected gallery and it allows me to swipe through all my pictures.

Where the heck do Google Search downloads go?

If do a search and find a picture I want, then long-press it, and click "Download image", it downloads successfully but I can't find it anywhere with Solid Explorer or Google Photo. That said, if I go to the "Files" application it is right there when I open the application and the info bar at the top of the screen says "Downloads" and there is also a "docs" folder and all the other pictures I have done this with in the past.
I often do this to share them to Facebook or in a chat, but in order to use them I have to search and download, open Files, and use that to move it to Pictures or some other folder I know where it is, and then go back to the application and use it to upload the file by it opening Photo (the Gallery app).
Where are these downloads going that Solid Explorer or Photo can't find them?
BTW, I am not rooted.
Go into Google Photos, select the hamburger menu on the upper left, and choose device folders. You should be able to see from there where your pictures were dropped. If you open the folder, there's a toggle switch to sync it with Google Photos.

Yeah, I understand completely... But the folder isn't there.
I've had this exact same issue. I've resorted to taking a screen shot and cropping it.

Glad I'm not crazy... I think I'm pretty good with Android and just tech in general, and it just stumps me on this one.

I looked for fun and when I clicked the download notification and opened it in Google Photos it says it's in the folder /documents which doesn't exist ?
Anyway to save the photo I just clicked the share button in Google Photos and shared it to Solid Explorer and chose a location to save it.
