CONTEUDO:
Google is broadening the global reach of its AI-driven photo editing tools, allowing users in Australia, India, and Japan to modify images through simple text prompts. This update removes the need for manual slider adjustments, replacing complex software tasks with natural language commands.
How the “Help me Edit” feature works
Upon selecting the edit menu, users in these regions will now find a “Help me Edit” interface. This tool provides suggested prompts or accepts custom text inputs. The system is designed to process specific instructions, such as asking the AI to remove background distractions like motorcycles, adjust blur levels, or apply restoration techniques to vintage photographs.
The underlying technology, powered by Google’s Nano Banana image model, handles sophisticated edits directly on the device. Because the processing occurs locally, the application does not require an active internet connection to execute these modifications.
Advanced capabilities and local language support
Beyond basic background tweaks, the AI can perform complex image corrections, including:
- Altering a person’s pose within a frame.
- Removing accessories like glasses.
- Correcting closed eyes in portraits.
Google has also prioritized accessibility by integrating native language support for Hindi, Tamil, Marathi, Telugu, Bengali, and Gujarati. The tool is compatible with a wide range of hardware, functioning on any Android device equipped with at least 4GB of RAM and running Android 8.0 or later.
Transparency and AI labeling
Alongside this rollout, Google is implementing C2PA Content Credentials in these markets. This metadata acts as a digital label, identifying whether an image has been created or manipulated by AI. As synthetic media becomes more prevalent, these credentials aim to provide users with clarity regarding the provenance and authenticity of the images they encounter.
This expansion follows a series of updates to the Google Photos ecosystem, which recently included the introduction of AI-powered search capabilities in over 100 countries and the debut of creative features like the “Meme me” tool for generating custom content.
