Photo Unblur represents one of the latest advances in leveraging Google’s advances in machine learning. Originally introduced with the Google Pixel 7 series, the feature enhances old and new photos.
Similar to the Face Unblur feature that debuted on the Pixel 6 series in 2021, Photo Unblur automatically detects faces in images and enhances their clarity. However, Photo Unblur offers some significant enhancements compared to its predecessor. Using artificial intelligence, it can sharpen the entire image, not just facial features. Additionally, its versatility allows it to be applied to photos taken with any device, even aging digital cameras.

Magic Eraser is designed to quickly remove unwanted elements from your photos. Unlike complex software like Photoshop, this tool is very user-friendly and does not require extensive photo editing knowledge. In some cases, your phone may even suggest items you can quickly remove from your photos, guiding you to select and remove random objects or individuals from view.
Additionally, Magic Eraser features a camouflage tool that enables users to reduce distracting elements in photos and emphasize focal points. While this method isn’t perfect and sometimes requires recovery and retrying, making smaller strokes with your finger or utilizing the camouflage feature can produce dramatic results.

When taking photos in Portrait mode, Portrait Light adds dramatic lighting that complements the shallow depth of field effect already applied, resulting in a professional studio-like look. However, since lighting preferences vary, users can manually adjust the position and brightness of lighting applied in Google Photos to suit their tastes.
By default, Portrait Light is automatically applied to the image after capture. It can also enhance night vision photos containing people, whether individuals or small groups. Automatically determine initial lighting direction and intensity to complement existing lighting conditions in the photo.
