This could be handy.

Google has announced that it’s expanding access to its new AI-powered conversational editing option for photos, which will make it easier to customize and clarify images captured on Android devices.

As you can see in this example sequence, with Google’s new AI-powered editing process, you can simply tell the system how you want to edit the image, and Google will generate a new version, based on those parameters.

That will enable you to quickly remove imperfections, replace elements, or even restore old images. And if you don’t know what to edit, you can just tell the system to “make it better” and it’ll work to improve the image.

As per Google:

“Forget switching between tools and adjusting sliders. You can simply describe the edits you want using your voice or text and watch Google Photos bring your vision to life. Just tap ‘Help me edit’ in the editor, describe what you want changed and voila, Photos takes care of it for you, with a little help from advanced Gemini capabilities.”

Originally announced as a feature in new Pixel phones, Google is now rolling these AI editing tools out to all Android users in the U.S.

It could be a handy addition for social media managers, providing a quick editing option for on-the-go updates. You could also use this for product shots, with simple editing enabling you to create more standout visuals direct from the Android camera.

Of course, results will vary, but you can always revert to the original, and it could be worth testing out what you can get out of the tool, and seeing whether it adds to your process.

Google says that the new conversational editing tool will be made available to all Android users in the U.S. More info here.
