Magic Editor is coming to Google Photos - AI-powered Photoshop

Google is adding generative AI to its Photos service. It will form the basis of Magic Editor (“Magic Editor”), which will anticipate the intentions of users and change pictures on the go.

The new tool will allow "make complex changes without special skills." It will be possible to edit objects, weather, background - move details or change their size, make the sky brighter and cloudless, remove objects that spoil the composition (for example, the belt of a bag that you forgot take off).

To move an object, you need to press on it, and then drag it to the right place (as when rearranging application icons on a smartphone). The system itself will guess what you are trying to achieve and will do the rest of the work. And then it will “fill in the gaps” so that there are no white spots on the frame.

At the presentation of the new feature during I/O 2023, the photo editor also extended the bench so that the child sitting on it was in the center of the photo, and “inflated” the deflated balloons for him.

The first Magic Editor will be available to users of some Pixel smartphones. The tool in early access should appear before the end of this year.
