In today’s age of animated GIFs, the Google+ team also decided to get in on the game – but with a twist. In addition, the autobackup feature provides unlimited storage space for photos at sized under 2048px. Now that Google offers everybody 15GB of free storage, users an also upload 15GB worth of full-size images to Google+ Photos. The original images, of course, always remain untouched and users can easily toggle back and forth between the enhanced version and the original. Users can, of course, apply all of these enhancements separately as well. It can also automatically remove red eyes. Using all of this, the system can make greenery pop, soften skin tones, clean up the color of the water and apply local enhancement to contrast and other features automatically. What used to take hours of work, Gundotra said, now happens automatically in the cloud and take seconds. It will also try to make some decision based on aesthetics. It can also recognize good images with certain landmarks, for example, and detect faces and see if people are smiling and/or of those people are in your Google+ circles. The system can now analyze your images and kick out blurry photos, duplicates, images with bad exposure (which it will try to fix). So what if Google could automatically fix your image sand pick the best ones and highlight them automatically? That’s another new feature the company is launching today. But what if Google’s data centers could be your darkroom? “It takes time, and most of don’t have the time,” Gundotra said. Google+ can now, for example, automatically enhance the tonal distribution in an image, soften skin, sharpen certain parts of an image and remove noise – and all of those computations happen in the cloud.Īs Google’s Vic Gundotra told us before the event (and reiterated today), “you don’t take a photograph, you make it.” Users spend thousand of dollars to make photos great, he noted, but photography is still labor intensive and organizing photos is often still a hassle. The focus of this update is squarely on automating a lot of the photo editing and sharing process. Photos have always been at the center of the Google+ experience and at I/O today, Google announce a major update to Google+ Photos that now makes use of the many of the tools the company acquired when it bought Nik Software last September.
