A while back, Google announced that it was bringing its “AI Enhance” features for Google Photos users in several regions worldwide, and the company has more recently followed up on this with the roll-out of new touch-up tools, which are found in Google Photos’ editor function.
The tools are designed to give users the option of removing small imperfections in photographs via new software tricks. Part of Google’s announcement reads:
Your photos should capture how you feel in the moment. That’s why we’re introducing new touch-up tools in Google Photos’ image editor to help you apply subtle enhancements that refine skin texture, remove blemishes, brighten eyes or whiten teeth in seconds.
To use the feature, users just need to open a photo that they want to edit, select a face in the photo and then choose which tool to use, which includes heal, smooth, under eyes, irises, teeth, eyebrows or lips. Users can also change the intensity of the effects to fine-tune their look in the photo.
As for availability, the new editing tools will roll out worldwide for Google Photos on Android devices; additionally, a device must have at least 4GB of RAM in addition to Android 9.0 or newer.
