Not everything in this guide is point-and-click-and-“yay it did it for me”.I will not be held accountable for any issues.

(Although not as dangerous as doing this in your day-to-day Chrome).So, if you have the courage and daring and wish to explore unmarked territory, read on…īut don’t say I didn’t warn you. Want to test this pretty new app out before Google release it? The road may be long and tedious, but if you’re anything like me then trying to use apps still in development is all the excitement you get.Ī how-to guide of this quality (or lack thereof - apologies) is never something I’d want to force upon anyone, but this is the only method I have found and I’m certain many of you are simply itching to try it out. What do you think of it so far?

This auto-curation tool chooses photos based on characteristics like image quality, exposure and blurriness. The Native Client-powered app, announced two weeks ago as part of the Chromebook Pixel launch, brings us the long-needed interface overhaul and likely merge of PicasaWeb and Google+ Photos.Īlthough not yet released, the development leak brings powerful features to the (dark)table, including automatic import from SD cards and cameras, “Instant Upload” of photos from your computer,* and image analysis to select the best shots.

If you’re any kind of Chromie fanboy worth his pixels, you have probably already come across the new Google+ Photos App, ‘Pulsar’.
