ReplyDeleteIt's not even funny....! Let alone decent.
ReplyDeleteIs it how they cancel people?
ReplyDeleteHas anyone figured out how to use Magic Eraser from information presented in this article? I found no information in this article about how to use Magic Eraser.
ReplyDeleteIs this news new?
ReplyDeleteApple and Google?
ReplyDeleteI thought Google connected with Microsoft, Steve Jobs wouldn't be happy...
DeleteSteve Jobs seeing this:
ReplyDeleteInteresting
ReplyDeleteCamouflage actually is available on the iPhone. just used it.
ReplyDeleteThere is Photos on the iPhone, why use Google Photos on Android?
ReplyDeletejoke, right?
ReplyDeletewho cares
ReplyDeleteWhat will I want to use this for?
ReplyDeleteThis is useful!
ReplyDeleteQuite a handy tool
ReplyDeleteWoah. Nice feature!
ReplyDeleteIs this news new?
ReplyDeleteThe news may be old, but the function itself came with some new improvements.
DeleteThanks
ReplyDeleteVery informative!
ReplyDeleteDidn know i could do that.
ReplyDeleteThanks!!!
ReplyDeleteI like this
ReplyDeleteDope
ReplyDeleteI have an iphone 14. I updated Google Photos, and still do not have the magic eraser tool! So frustrating!
ReplyDeleteiPhone 13 - I can confirm that the Eraser is available on the Google Photos App, just tested it right now.
DeleteNot access to iphone 11
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to use, very clean!
ReplyDeleteI’ve been using it on my iPhone for quite some time, but I’m also logged into my google account with photos
ReplyDeleteCome on, does an Android App have more functions for the iPhone than for Android?
ReplyDeleteNo, thank you Google…….
ReplyDeleteNot sure why Apple hasn't already ported the healing brush from macOS Photos into the iOS/iPad OS Photos app. It does the same thing and it's been around for years.
ReplyDeleteThis as a free feature on the iPhone camera app would be better.
ReplyDeleteAdd gmail push to iOS mail app and I will subscribe to Google One.
ReplyDeleteHow well does this tool work? I’ve used some ML tools for image editing that do a mostly decent job but sometimes a very poor job. For instance, in the example photo this article uses I would potentially see some sand smeared up into the surf where people used to be. I find these features are nowhere near as good as how they are portrayed.
ReplyDeleteAdditionally, Google One members can get free shipping on orders from the print store in the United States, Canada, the European Union, and the United Kingdom starting today.
DeleteI’m very disappointed that Apple discontinued their print services directly inside Photos. We used that all the time. The replacements I’ve used (Mimeo and Motif) are OK, but clunky and more limited.
DeleteI don't know what you see in the sample, but to me it's real obvious that "after" photo is altered. You can see exactly where the people were deleted and background cloned to replace them. (disclaimer: I did this for a living {with Photoshop} for over 20 years.)
DeleteFor what the photos are intended for, social sharing, it works great in some cases and pretty good in others. With a distinctly detailed or cluttered background it might be a total fail.
DeleteIt's not a PS content-aware fill replacement or intended to be a professional tool. Bonus: At least it's not trying to make someone look twenty years younger than they are, which seems to be the "thing" now.
As for the inclusion at no charge with a Google One subscription, that's smart of them. Right now it's a fresh-in-the-mind feature coming off the Super Bowl ads, and will probably result in significant interest in new subscriptions. Every once in awhile Google's marketing department delivers, just not often enough.
