Even when it did replace the part I wanted, the results were goofy and mostly unappealing.
With a complex background, not all parts were often detected or fully swapped out. The feature looks neat flashing by in a 30-second commercial but has been underwhelming in my use of it. The Editor can also suggest things like “golden hour” when pictures of the sky are presented. You can tap on a subject to move them around or resize them. Magic Editor lets you tap on areas of a photo to erase it and replace it with AI-generated content. But they’re just a few taps away and probably become a shutter setting in a year or two. They’re camera-adjacent add-ons, present in Google Photos.
Those highlights this year are AI-assisted Best Take, Magic Editor, and Audio Eraser. Night Shot photos having a three-second handheld exposure should not look as good as they do on any of Google’s phones-but they always look amazing.īack to the Pixel 8, which is all about the camera system and related features. After all, the camera on the Pixel 7 still performs impossible tasks because of Google’s computational photography work.
