I didn't say I'd tried it.

Think it through. It's not software on your machine. It runs on their servers, 
so obviously the image must be there, 
too. And naturally, it would get there by putting it on Google+. I know 
absolutely nothing about G+, except that I once 
got signed up somehow, it started annoying me with stuff, and I got out.

You are thinking of software running on your machine, which this isn't. Chrome 
is simply the interface between you and 
the software running remotely.

With luck, there is a way to put images up there in a private gallery, work on 
them, then download and/or send directly 
to the destination.

I don't think Snapseed, per se, is the key. What's hot with a large number of 
mostly younger folks is making images that 
are different in 'look' than what most of us here, most of the time have been 
trying to create. Second, with bits of 
talent and luck, images that are interesting and engaging on their own merits.

To do so, they are using apps that manipulate images in ways that are 
unconventional by photographic standards of that 
last several decades. They are all trying to be the May Rays of this 
generation, metaphorically.

So it's not necessarily what specific alt process or alt apps are used, but how 
the result fits into the developing 
aesthetic.
