Announced at Made by Google: You Can Now Ask Google Photos to Edit Your Images

The Google Pixel 10 series may have been the highest point of the event produced today, but as well as everything related to Google lately, the progress linked to AI also deserve to be underlined. This time, Google Photos gets a new fun functionality: you can use your voice to modify the photos in the application. The functionality arrives first at Pixel 10 in the United States, the company announced at the event.

Google claims that this feature works in real time and you can immediately see the changes appear after asking Google Photos to make changes. It seems that it will facilitate the modification of photos for people who are not qualified to do it themselves – you can simply ask the application to create the desired effect and that will manage the rest, says Google.

The examples that Google shares include requests such as “restoring this old photo” or “delete cars in the background”, which, if they work as expected, are much easier to do via AI. For people who do not know what type of modifications they want, Google says that simpler vocal commands like “Make It Better” will also work. It also supports contextual follow -ups so that you can make other adjustments to the image using voice commands.

During the Pixel 10 launch event, Google showed a live demo on the functioning of the publishing edition. The host of the Podcast Call Her Daddy, Alex Cooper, took a photo with Jimmy Fallon (from The Tonight Show Fame), and asked Google Photos to repair the lighting and the frame. The photo included Cooper and Fallon, but a light projector had spoiled its lighting and the frame was also asymmetrical. In the demo, the Gemini were able to transform their image into a well -lit photo and it roted slightly the image to repair the frame also.

However, this raises important ethical questions around the nature of the photographs if the Gemini generate things that were not in the original image or are wrong the colors in a modification. Google approached it to a certain extent by adding the support of C2PA content identification information in Google Photos, which allows you to see how the image was created and edited, and if AI has been used in the process, as indicated here:

Pixel 10 implements this C2PA content identification standard in its native camera application. This feature will take place slowly on other Android and Google photos for iOS in the coming weeks.
