How fast is Snapseed on Chuwi Hi12?

[Chris G]

Large image files like that I wouldn’t recommend an Atom, Core M would be better suited to that kind of work.

I tried to open a 24mb png (4320×6120) and Snapseed crashed.
Could you post an exemple of file you’d want me to try?

Sure. That would be best, but between the speed of the Core M and the Screen of the Chuwi, I’ll go with the second one. Budget speaks volume too. 🙁
Anyway, I’m somehow confident. Snapseed is a speed demon. The Snapdragon 800 crunches through those files, so the Z8300 shouldn’t lag much behind.

@SanHayate:
I would be very much grateful if you could try it with this file. It’s a massive 60 footer I shot at Nazaré last year. Couldn’t attach it in this post even though it’s around 12MB and the limit is supposed to be close to 15Mb.
My LG G2 (Snapdragon 800 with 2GB) doesn’t have a problem, so I guess the Z8300 with 4GB shouldn’t have either. I don’t know but I suppose Snapseed crashed because it doesn’t read PNGs, even though it never borked out on any of the DNGs I’ve thrown at it.
I’ll be immensely grateful if you can report how fluid SS edits it. BTW, if you have any image that you’d really like some creative processing being done, let me know, and I’ll be happy to give it a spin and sent it back to you as a thank you gift. 😉

Thanks again,

Duarte Bruno.

Photo loading failed.
RAW photo editing is not supported on this device.

That’s the message I have on Snapseed with your .dng file

I tried it on my phone, no issue to open/edit this .dng file with Snapseed.

I deinstalled/ reinstalled Snapseed on the Chuwi, downloaded the file again, same error message.

I just found this for what it’s worth:

Starting with version 2.1, Snapseed supports editing of DNG files. Simply open a DNG file and it will go straight into RAW Develop mode, which allows you to tweak exposure, white balance (temperature), shadows, highlights, add structure and more. However, not all Android devices are supported and you might receive the following message: “RAW photo editing is not supported on this device”.

RAW does not seem to be supported by Snapseed on every device. I can’t load DNG files on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 whereas Lightroom Mobile has no issue with the same file. I wonder if this is only available on Android 5.0+ devices with native DNG support.

Snapseed for Android Can Now Do RAW Editing

Well, that’s disheartening to know and makes me rethink my entire approach. 🙁

I’ll try to pursue this with the developers to see if this is a chipset or device related limitation.

Thank you for your time and effort. It was extremely helpful and my offer still stands.

I wonder if Snapseed could be fooled with this fake device approach (Advanced Way), but it would require root, so I guess it’s still not an option… 🙁

@SanHayate: Sorry to bother you once again.

(edit) Forget it. I tried this build.prop approach and couldn’t fool SS into thinking my LG G2 was a Chuwi. 🙁

Can you attach your build.prop file? It’s inside the /system folder.
I need it because I’m thinking of spoofing my LG G2 to make SS believe it is the Hi12. If SS checks the device from there and refuses to open the DNG, there is still an open door and maybe it’s possible to spoof it the other way around (make SS believe the Chuwi is a supported device).
I’ve contacted the SS developers but haven’t had an answer yet.
I don’t understand why this refusal to open DNG. If it had anything to do with hardware support, then Snapseed shouldn’t even edit JPGs because the RAW import filter is almost an identical copy of the Adjust filter. Unless there is some very specific hardware support related to the demosaicing it doesn’t make any sense.
Thanks again.

I’ve got some small feedback on the Snapseed forum. I’m sorry to ask you this but please can you confirm that you tested the android version of Snapseed and not the windows one?
