 How Google's upcoming Magic Editor will help users edit photos professionally



According to Google, Magic Editor, which employs generative AI, will simplify tasks such as enhancing composition or repositioning the subject in a photograph.


Google has unveiled a glimpse of Magic Editor, which it has labeled as "an innovative editing experience that utilizes generative AI to assist you in reimagining your photographs and simplifying the editing process."


Google announced the release of Magic Editor on Wednesday at its annual I/O software conference in Mountain View, California.


Magic Editor, which is slated for release later this year, allows users to reposition subjects in their photos to obtain a better composition, among other things. It aims to simplify editing tasks for individuals who do not possess advanced editing abilities.


As per Google's blog post, "Magic Editor will employ a blend of AI approaches, such as generative AI, to help you make edits to particular sections of an image, such as the subject, sky, or background, giving you more power over the picture's overall appearance and sensation."


This tweet from Google announces the upcoming launch of Magic Editor, a new feature for Google Photos that uses generative AI to allow users to reimagine and edit their photos directly from their phone. The tweet highlights how Google Photos has already been using AI to assist with searching and editing, and Magic Editor is the latest addition to the suite of features aimed at making photo editing easier and more accessible. The tweet also includes a link to a blog post with more information about Magic Editor.


Yes, that's correct. Magic Editor uses generative AI to allow users to reposition subjects in photos and make other edits that improve the composition of the image. The tool also allows for editing of specific parts of an image, such as the sky or background, to give users more control over the final look of the photo.


Yes, that's correct. Google says that with Magic Editor, users will be able to make changes such as removing unwanted objects like a bag strap or adding a brighter sky to match their memory of a certain day. Additionally, users will be able to reposition and change the scale of their subject to improve the composition of the photo.


Yes, Google has announced that select Pixel phones will have early access to Magic Editor later this year, but the feature is still considered "experimental technology." Google has cautioned that there may be times when the AI technology doesn't work correctly, and the company will be gathering feedback from users to improve the feature over time.


It is unclear at this time whether Google will charge for the Magic Editor feature, or make it exclusive to Pixel phones. It is possible that Google may make it a perk of a Google One subscription, as it did with Magic Eraser earlier this year. Google Photos, which was launched in 2015, has used AI to help users organize, resurface, and edit their photos with advanced tools like Magic Eraser and Photo Unblur.
