Step 9: Using Magic Eraser: This is a tool in Google Photos that uses artificial intelligence to remove unwanted objects or people from your photos. Here’s how to use it:

• Take a Picture or Choose One from Your Gallery

1. Open your camera app and take a photo, or select an existing photo from your gallery.
2. If you’ve just taken a photo, you’ll see a small preview at the bottom-right corner of your screen. Tap on this to open the photo.
3. If you’re choosing an existing photo, simply open your gallery and select the photo you wish to edit.

• Open the Google Photos Editor

1. With the photo opened, you should see a few different icons at the bottom of the screen. Tap on the one that looks like a pencil. This is the edit icon, which will take you to Google Photos’ editing tools.

• Select the Magic Eraser Tool

1. In the editing tools, scroll through the options until you see “Tools”. Tap on it.
2. In the new set of options that appear, you should see one labeled “Magic Eraser”. Tap on this.

• Use Magic Eraser

1. Once you’ve selected Magic Eraser, you’ll be back at your photo. You’ll notice that the AI has automatically highlighted some suggested objects for removal. If you agree with the suggestions, simply tap “Erase” at the bottom of your screen.
2. If you want to remove a different object or person not highlighted, just use your finger to draw over the object. Make sure you cover the entire object you want to remove, then tap “Erase”.
3. If you made a mistake or aren’t happy with the results, tap “Undo” at the top of the screen to revert back to the previous state of the photo.

• Save Your Changes

3. If you’re fine with the changes being made to the original photo and don’t need a copy, simply tap “Save”.

Remember that the effectiveness of Magic Eraser can vary depending on the complexity of the photo. It works best when the object you want to remove has a fairly simple and distinct shape and is against a less detailed background. Also, you might notice that very large objects or people might not be fully removed in one go, so you may need to use the tool multiple times to get the desired result.

There you have it, we hope you enjoy using your new Google Pixel 7 and begin using as many of its amazing features as possible soon.
