Google's Magic Editor - Does It Lack Perfection?

Ever since this year started, we have seen AI projects revolutionize the world one after the other. It was ChatGPT at first then humans could imitate other people’s voices and make them say whatever they wanted to. Now AI is faking reality! I am sure you are all familiar with how a green screen works. A green screen is set up behind and later on during the editing, any background can be edited onto it. But green screens aren’t a requirement anymore because AI has taken over.

Image Source: the verge

Now this looks like just a serene photo of a woman beside a majestic waterfall but this was edited at Google I/O! Onstage, a presenter clicked on the woman and moved her to the opposite side. Like magic, the app swiftly filled the void she left behind and with another tap, the dull, overcast sky transformed into a brilliant, cloudless blue. This is how the incredible metamorphosis of an image happens in under minutes.

How Is It Done?

During the demo, the Magic Editor undeniably proved its worth. This tool represents the results of Google’s years-long efforts and aims. While Google has already included a couple of AI-powered image editing features for the people, such as the impressive Magic Eraser that swiftly erases unwanted elements from image backgrounds, the Magic Editor takes photo editing to a whole new level. It helps users to go beyond superficial changes and into more substantial alterations, potentially reshaping not only the content but also the very essence and interpretation of a photograph.

Let’s Talk About The Obvious 

Although this is simply amazing, let’s be honest it does look fake and there is room for improvement. It is evident that this tool is proof of Google’s ultimate objective which is to simplify the process of refining photos with just a tap or drag on your screen. The company aspires to a future where achieving picture-perfect results is effortlessly accessible to all, without the need for professional-level editing tools.
With the power of AI at your fingertips, this tool helps you to modify your photos even sitting at home. You can enhance the sky, reposition and resize subjects, and even remove unwanted components from your images with just a few taps. While a specific release date is yet to be announced, Google’s commitment to streamlining complex edits through user-friendly interaction is unmistakable.
