Google Photos Gets Skin Smoothing and More

While AI can tidy up your selfies, maybe take a break from retouching?

Google has rolled out new touch-up tools in Google Photos, allowing users to refine their images with precision. From healing blemishes to brightening eyes, the latest features are designed for subtle enhancements, giving users more control over how their shots look.


To access these tools, select a face in your photo and choose from options like heal, smooth, or whiten teeth. The intensity of each effect can be adjusted to personal taste, making it easier than ever to maintain a polished appearance online.


Google is likely aiming to keep users within its ecosystem for all their editing needs, potentially reducing the reliance on third-party apps. However, as studies suggest, constant retouching could contribute to negative self-perception and body image issues.


This move by Google reflects a broader trend in social media where every pixel matters, but it also raises questions about authenticity and digital well-being. As we edit our lives online, perhaps it’s worth remembering the value of imperfection too.
