A Googley Way of Handling Photos - Google+ New Photo App for Chromebooks

Google has released its much anticipated Photo App for Chromebook, and no matter what the reports say, its available on all models now. The App imports photo's from your SD card, backs them up on Google Drive picks the "Best Ones" organises them accordingly and then lets you put them on your Google+. 
 Sundar Pichai, head of Chrome, Google Apps, and now Android was Quoted back in February talking about the App saying:

"You plug in an SD card or connect the camera. It opens your photos in in full resolution and starts backing them up against your 1 terabyte Google Drive quota. There's nothing to mess with. We immediately choose, de-dupe [get rid of duplicates], and take out the blurry pictures. If there are six pictures of kids smiling, we choose the best one or two. It shows the best ones that have been selected in the gallery. It packages them up as album immediately for you to share in Google+." 

the Software contains very smart programming, cloud computing and social networking, a very Googley combination of affairs, but for Photo Enthusiasts with high end camera's it can't handle raw photos yet. 
So what do you think? Let you know your thoughts below.
