Google Photos To Roll Out Magic Editor, Magic Eraser, Other AI Editing Tools To All Users From Next Month
Google Photos is reportedly extending its artificial intelligence (AI)-powered editing tools, including Magic Editor and Magic Eraser, to all its users.
The new tools will be rolled out from next month, the company said in a statement.
Magic Editor, using a combination of AI techniques including generative AI to help edit specific parts of an image, enables users to make complex photo edits without having professional-level editing skills.
The feature was first introduced at Google I/O in May 2023 and is currently limited to Pixel 8 and Pixel 8 Pro smartphones.
After Google’s announcement on Wednesday, Magic Editor will now be available to all Pixel smartphones.
Google said that the feature will be available on devices that have at least 3GB RAM and runs on Android 8.0/iOS 15 or later software versions.
It will also be available for users of Pixel tablets.
Magic Eraser allows users to erase distracting objects from their photos such as people in the background and power lines and power poles.
AI editing features such as Photo Unblur to clear up blurry pictures, Portrait Light that lets users adjust the position and brightness of light in portrait photos post capture, HDR effect for photos and videos, Color Pop, and new styles to create personalised, shareable collages are also being rolled to consumers.
The tech giant also unveiled plans to offer other features such as Cinematic photos, Portrait Blur, Sky suggestions, and Video effects.
Google said these features will start rolling out to consumers beginning from May 15 and continue throughout the coming months.
