Nik Software, the company behind Snapseed, the popular image editing app for Apple’s iPhone and iPad, announced yesterday that it will “soon” port the program to Tegra-powered Android tablets running Ice Cream Sandwich for $5 a pop.
Nik Software President and CEO Michael J. Slater said:
We’re thrilled with the success and worldwide recognition of our popular mobile app and are excited to bring the Snapseed experience to Mac users for the first time. By bringing Snapseed to the Mac App Store, we’re able to quickly extend our reach to a worldwide audience of creative amateur photographers while offering our existing mobile users the fully-featured Mac experience they’ve been asking for.
Nik collaborated with Nvidia on the project so expect some snazzy visuals and smooth performance, which is the hallmark of the iOS version. Snapseed sports cool filters and tools like grunge, vintage and drama to make the best out of your photographs. The full list of features follows…

It is nice to see that major iOS developers are finally taking Google’s platform seriously. Apple named Snapseed its App of the Year 2011 in its recently published iTunes Rewind 2011 selection. Nik also said it will bring Snapseed to the Mac later this month for $20. Note that the above image gallery features screenshots from Snapseed for iPad.
