In addition to beginning a wider rollout of Ask Photos, Google Photos today detailed improvements to Ultra HDR, while there’s now “Screenshots & recordings” on the web.
After editing with Photo Unblur, Magic Eraser, Portrait Light, and other tools, “HDR photos can keep their full dynamic range and crucial HDR metadata.” This was announced for the Pixel 8+ last year, with Google crediting machine learning as making this possible.
This means your edited photos will maintain their contrast and highlights to always look their best.
Google Photos lets you edit how bright such a picture is with the “Ultra HDR” tool. Find it under the Adjust tab. As part of this, the previous “HDR” feature has been renamed to “Tone” to better reflect its functionality. Introduced in 2020, it appears right next to the new Ultra offering.
Finally, Google has “made upgrades so you can enhance SDR photos to HDR, so your photos pop with brighter highlights, deeper contrast, and stunning clarity on modern HDR-capable displays.”
In other updates, Google Photos on the web has introduced a new “Screenshots & recordings” in-between Documents and Favorites. The Collections side panel item is an “Automatic album” that can be archived after 30 days.
