Google has introduced a new set of subtle touch-up tools within the Google Photos image editor, designed to enhance or refine faces in photos. These tools are now gradually rolling out globally on the Google Photos app.
The features are available exclusively on devices running Android 9.0 or later with a minimum of 4GB of RAM. To access the tools, users must select a specific face in a photo. The enhancements include removing unwanted blemishes, whitening teeth, smoothing skin, and adjusting irises, under-eye areas, eyebrows, and lips. Users can fine-tune the intensity of each effect to ensure the changes remain subtle and natural.
