Google announced at the developer conference that it will put new AI applications into Google Photos. Since the launch of Google Photos in 2015, Google has actually applied AI capabilities in photo editing, such as automatically organizing photos, photo Memories, magic eraser, blur repair and other functions, and then will import “generative AI” to create a Magic Editor editing tool to make photo editing more flexible.
Magic Editor Generative AI App
Google expects to put generative AI technology into Magic Editor. When users edit photos in Google Photos in the future, they can select different elements in the photo, such as people, sky, background and other specific objects for editing, and can also recompose. Like adjusting the object to the best position.
For example, for a photo taken in front of a waterfall like the picture below, if you feel that the position of the person’s hand is not aligned with the waterfall, and you want to readjust the position, just click on the person and move the person to the side, and Google will automatically calculate the Fill in the gaps of the original characters with the elements that should be added (in this photo, it is the gravel floor and mountains). If you feel that the original sky is too cloudy and you want to change it to a blue sky, you can also directly click to replace it. In front of the waterfall Passers-by can also use the Magic Eraser to remove them with one click, and with the assistance of AI, they can create photos that are more in line with their ideals.
Another generative AI application shown by Google is the picture below. If you want to move the little boy to the center of the screen, just click and move to the specified position, and Magic Editor will automatically generate supplementary elements of the screen, such as benches, balloons, Make the picture more natural. In addition, if there are too many clouds in the sky, you can also change it to a blue sky through the editing function.
Google expects to open the Magic Editor function to some Pixel device users this year. According to Google statistics, the number of photos edited by Google Photos users is as high as 1.7 billion per month. , but AI is indeed the trend of photo editing in the future.
