Once again Google is backporting a feature to older Android phones.
A feature introduced by Google as an exclusive on the recently released Pixel 10 series will soon be available on all Android phones. The feature, called „Help me edit“, allows users to simply describe the edits they want to see on a photo. Google offers suggestions such as requesting that the photo focus on the subject or remove the background. If you know exactly what changes need to be made, you can specifically ask the feature to „Remove the glare, brighten the photo, and add clouds to the sky“ and have it done.
One reason why this feature is great is that it is much easier to use and faster to get results from than finding the right editing tool and making the adjustments you want. As Google says, „No more switching between tools and adjusting sliders.“ With an old photo that looks as though it has been around for many years, you can ask Google to „Restore the photo“, or if you don’t know what to change, just type, „Make it better.“ Either way, you should see the same result as the image is cleaned up and modernized. You can also change a photo by asking for a new background or have a pair of sunglasses added to the subject’s face.
You can find „Help me edit“ at the bottom of the Google Photos app after selecting a photo.
