Google Photos has received an update that users may enjoy. It now includes a useful Ultra HDR editing tool that enhances photo quality. Also, the app will no longer downgrade HDR photos to SDR during editing.
Google Photos adds a new Ultra HDR editing tool and other improvements
Google has shared details of a new Google Photos update in its recent blog post. According to the brand, users will now be able to preserve the full dynamic range and essential HDR metadata of their HDR photos even after using editing tools like Photo Unblur, Magic Eraser, or Portrait Light.
This change prevents the app from downgrading HDR photos to SDR during editing. In short, images will keep their contrast and highlights, and look better than ever.
Google’s statement is as follows;
‘’Now, HDR photos can keep their full dynamic range and crucial HDR metadata even after editing with features like Photo Unblur, Magic Eraser, and Portrait Light. This means your edited photos will maintain their contrast and highlights to always look their best.’’
Google Photos has also introduced a new Ultra HDR editing tool, which allows users to adjust the brightness of their photos. Additionally, the tech giant has renamed the tool previously known as “HDR” to “Tone.” Google says this change better reflects the tool’s functionality.
Google’s statement is as follows;
‘’To dial in the perfect look for your photo and style, you can also edit how bright your image is through the new “Ultra HDR” tool. As part of this update, you’ll also notice that the previous “HDR” tool has been renamed to “Tone,” which better reflects its function.’’
You can make your SDR photos look like HDR
The company has made upgrades that allow users to enhance their SDR photos to HDR. This improves brightness and deepens contrast in the images.
Finally, older photos that were not originally HDR can now be converted. This conversion offers brighter highlights, deeper contrast, and a more vibrant appearance on modern HDR displays.
