Google has added a number of AI-powered photo editing features to Google Photos that were initially only available on select Pixel and Galaxy devices. However, back in April, the company announced that it would make AI-based editing tools available to every Google Photos user. “It’s really exciting that so many people will be able to use these tools,” said Selena Shang, senior product manager for Google Photos. Google has reportedly been working on the AI tools to make sure they work properly across devices.
In a recent blog post, the company also explained how to make the most of tools such as Magic Editor, Magic Eraser, Photo Unblur, and others, which you can also read in this article.
Use Magic Editor’s Erase and Magic Eraser tools to their fullest potential:
Magic Editor comes with a set of features, one of which is an AI-powered generative erasing tool. According to the company, both Magic Editor’s Erase and Magic Eraser can help you remove unwanted elements from an image. However, each of them has its own advantages.
“Magic Eraser is best for quickly fixing small areas of a photo,” says Selena. According to her, Magic Eraser can be useful for removing people or objects in the background of landscape shots. But if you want to remove more prominent, complex objects in the foreground or objects that take up a larger portion of the photo as a whole, Magic Editor’s generative AI will be more effective at filling in the space, she explains. The latter should offer better results for “more complex deletions.”
When should I tap, brush, or stroke objects in Magic Editor?
There are three different ways to select an object in Magic Editor: tap, brush, or stroke. According to the company, certain methods work best for certain types of selections. Objects with sharp edges, such as the water bottle in the foreground, are usually easier to highlight with a touch. However, for objects with less defined edges, such as leaves on a tree, it may be easier to select them with a stroke or brush. Users can also zoom in to select an object with greater precision.
There is also a strength slider that allows you to adjust the intensity of the edit. You can always play around with it to fine-tune the result. “After applying Portrait Light, I play around with the strength because sometimes I want the effect to be a little more subtle,” says Selena. This is also appropriate for Photo Unblur, where the AI will make the subject more detailed. However, you may prefer to leave a bit of blur for an artistic look, for which you can adjust the strength of the effect.
