Google Photos' AI image editor is expanding to additional regions, but it is available exclusively for Android users.

      The “Edit with Ask Photos” feature, which allows users to make edits by describing their requests, is now available for Android users in Germany, the UK, France, Spain, and Italy.

      Last year, Google launched an AI-driven editing feature in Google Photos called "Edit with Ask Photos," enabling users to modify their photos using natural language commands. Initially, it was rolled out in a few countries, but Google is now broadening the reach to five additional markets.

      From four countries to nine

      Previously, Edit with Ask Photos was accessible in the US, Australia, India, and Japan. However, a recent community announcement from Google revealed that it is being introduced in Germany, the UK, France, Spain, and Italy. The rollout is underway but will occur gradually, so users in these regions may not see the feature immediately.

      Once available, users will be able to alter images by simply describing the changes rather than manually adjusting sliders and tools. Commands such as "remove the glare," "restore this old photo," or "remove the distractions in the background" will suffice. This method simplifies photo editing, making it easier for those who find traditional tools daunting or time-consuming.

      Android only for now

      Currently, this European expansion is restricted to Android devices. In the US, the Edit with Ask Photos feature is also available on iOS, but Google has not confirmed whether it will be offered in the new markets. Consequently, iPhone users in Germany, the UK, France, Spain, and Italy will have to wait for an update that Google has yet to announce.

      This expansion comes shortly after Google introduced a Touch Up suite to the Photos app, adding face retouching tools for the first time. This feature allows users to smooth skin, whiten teeth, and brighten eyes directly in the app, eliminating the need for third-party editors.

The patent describes a device that, when folded, appears as a long rectangular brick and can unfold to create a significantly larger screen. It was submitted in January 2023 and was granted this month.

      AI vision is becoming too resource-hungry, but this method offers a solution.

      Researchers at KAIST have developed an AI vision technique that sharpens compressed visual data while reducing GPU memory requirements by up to 16 times.

      The Upsample Anything method reconstructs high-resolution visual details from compressed image data, aiming to enhance on-device AI sharpness without necessitating a significantly larger memory allocation. Phones already rely on compression to enable rapid camera-based intelligence, but this often means that small objects, fine edges, and subtle flaws can be lost before a vision system has enough detail to function effectively.
