Artificial intelligence technology (AI) fundamentally changes the way we edit our photos. And the Google, as one of the main players in this field, could not help but guide this development. Following the hype surrounding its AI-powered image editing tools, Google has announced a slew of new features that will be available to all Android and iOS users, without the need for a Google One subscription.
Until recently, some of Google's most powerful AI-powered image editing features were limited to Pixel phones with a Google One account. However, now Google has decided to make these functions available to everyone, thus strengthening the democracy in the field of image processing.
These new features include Photo Unblur and Magic Eraser, which allow you to fix blurry images and remove objects or people from photos respectively. In addition, another tool gaining interest is Portrait Lit, which allows changing the lighting in portraits, opening up new horizons for users' creativity.
Most importantly, though, these features will no longer be limited to specific devices. From May 15, they will be available on Android mobile phones (with Android 8.0 and up).doses) and on iOS devices (with iOS 15 and later), which have the Google Photos. Plus, even the Pixels tablets they will get these new features which was not available until now.
The new Magic Editor is another tool that will be available to Google Photos users on Android and iOS. It offers more advanced editing features, but with one limitation: up to 10 photo saves per month. For more storage, users should invest in a Pixel phone or a 2TB or higher Google One subscription.
To take advantage of these new features, users will simply need to update their Google Photos app and install the new tools. However, they should take into account that the application will require about 1GB of space on their device and an internet connection, as the processing is done on Google's servers.
The new features are expected to roll out gradually from mid-May, with Google implementing the strategy of rolling out the new features in waves to ensure a smooth communication and user response. This means that users will not all have the same availability date of the new features, but will have to wait their turn.
Image processing toolkits using artificial intelligence open up new horizons in image creation and processing, and making them available to a wider audience is a step forward in the field of image technology. With Google leading this effort, we can expect to see even more innovations in the future.
