With Google’s AI-powered Pixel editing tool, you can get the ideal photo with only a few touches.

Use Pixel’s sophisticated camera to improve the images; it allows you to alter the background and move, delete, and resize objects or people in a picture. The latest features of Magic Editor, which are coming with Pixel 9 phones, even allow you to zoom out to expand the boundaries of a photo or straighten a crooked image.

Magic Editor can help you realize your vision, whether you need to exclude an unknown person from the background of a family shot, edit your image to showcase a basketball player’s vertical during a stunning slam, or add a properly lit backdrop to your selfie in your summer attire.

AI-Powered Easy Photo Edits: An Overview of Magic Editor and Magic Eraser

To make Google images stand out, it frequently modify them. Sometimes that entails making a small adjustment to a picture, such as cropping it. In other cases, it could include more intricate adjustments like eliminating extraneous objects or distractions, enhancing the lighting, or even coming up with a fresh composition. AI, which powers editing tools like Google Photos‘ Magic Editor and Magic Eraser, has transformed these once laborious, complicated operations.

Google understands how important it is to use Google AI Principles as a guide as it expands access to these capabilities. It is making it simpler to identify instances of AI adjustments in Google Photos to increase transparency even more. Google Photos will start identifying when a photo has been altered using Google AI within the Photos app the following week.

In order to identify that they were altered using generative AI, photos changed with programs like Magic Editor, Magic Eraser, and Zoom Enhance already contain metadata based on technical standards from The International Press Telecommunications Council (IPTC). It is going one step further now and displaying this data in the Photos app along with details like the file name, location, and backup status.

It will employ IPTC metadata to specify when an image is made up of components from several photos using non-generative characteristics, in addition to noting when the image has been altered using generative AI. To help you take amazing group shots, apps like Add Me on Google Pixel 9 and Best Take on Pixel 8 and Pixel 9 combine photos taken at the same moment to produce a blended image.

Although it is hopeful about AI’s potential, it also understands that cutting-edge technology can present significant obstacles that need to be addressed in a straightforward, considerate, and positive manner. These AI Principles outline Google’s dedication to ethical technology development and attempt to identify particular application domains that it will not pursue.

So, obviously that picture was plucked off of a Runaways comic. Those are good books, my daughter now also loves them, and apparently they are going to be adapted into a show on Hulu that I can’t wait to watch.

The card was made with Magic Set Editor, because as much as I like to do things like draw and work on my PC, my time is short and I have to take what I can get. The difference between time I want to spend doing art and time I get to spend doing art is laughable to the point of sad.

During the last year or so I spent a few week’s worth of evenings re-tooling a bunch of Magic decks. I’m having trouble getting into whatever it is they’re doing now over at Wizard’s of the Coast, but the basics of the game never cease to entertain me. It’s simple and fun, and fills an evening with the right friends.

During that time I dug up this old image, made along side a hundred or so others. I liked the concept of putting Mages all across the colors and have a story line tailored to them spreading knowledge to cities across the world. White was my favorite color to play in Magic because of the lawful-good-protect-the-city theme they had. But I was always frustrated at the color’s lack of wizardry. Blue was my least-favorite because it’s spells were directed less at my opponent and more at their hands, but it has the most spells.

During my quiet time among my imagination I crafted a white/blue swarm/control deck I wish I had the opportunity to play. The creatures were fast and plentiful, and the spells were also fast and kept my opponent from gaining a foothold. I chose my cards for their art as much as their function, picking images with cities and humans in them.

In my mind, the decks became mirrors of the novel I’ll never finish, which starts in a city near the ocean. <wistful sigh>

I will craft up some decks when my kids are just a little older out of a bucket full of basics. An elf deck, dragon deck, knight deck, angel deck, monster deck, wizard deck, artifact deck, etc. etc. etc. Single-themed decks that are easy to play and have fun, while also teaching the game and filling an evening with my kids.

The Pokemon card game seal was also just broken as one of my daughter’s friends gave her some extra cards in a very kind gesture. So now I’ll spend $$$ and build some basics with those too, I guess…
