Apple Photos app corrupts images

The Apple Photos app sometimes corrupts images when importing from my camera. I just wanted to make a blog post about it in case anyone else runs into the problem. I’ve seen other references to this online, but most of the people gave up trying to fix it, and none of them went as far as I did to debug the issue.

Did Google fix the Pixel 9’s lifeless photo colors on the Pixel 10? I’m shocked.

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-26 13:00:51

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority What Google did to photo colors on its last few Pixel phones is criminal. There is no other way to say this, but the degradation in color quality and science was so palpable since the Pixel 6, culminating in the washed-out photos of the Pixel 9 Pro. Even me, a staunch Pixel camera fan, had somewhat given up on getting good, lively photos from my phone last year. Every time I snapped a picture, especially in a colorful environment or a warm indoor, the result c

You can finally remove fences in Google Photos, and the results are crazy

Rita El Khoury / Android Authority At Google I/O 2017, Google showed what quickly became one of its most infamous product teases in history: removing a chain link fence from a picture of a child playing baseball. The pitch was that we would soon be able to remove pesky fences automatically from our pictures with the help of computer vision, and it looked like magic. While Google Photos would eventually get object removal for more obvious photo distractions like garbage cans and photo-bombers,

iOS 26 fixed the Photos app and it’s more powerful than ever

Last year, with iOS 18, Apple tried to shake up the Photos App by making it more streamlined. They put everything under one view, and for most people, it was a flop. Instead of making it simpler to navigate, it was actually even more tedious to use. It felt like nothing really had its own place, and everything was just on one never-ending page.

Google Photos adds image background removal for custom stickers, only on iOS

Google Photos is rolling out support for making custom stickers from your photos, but it only works on iOS with seemingly no plans to bring it to Android. If you open up certain photos in your Google Photos library on iOS, you might notice the ability to turn those photos into a sticker by removing the background. A ring around the photo subject will appear after a second or two, indicating that you can use the photo to make a sticker. After that, you can either copy it to your clipboard or sha

Since moving to Deep South Texas 4 years ago I've come to realize that many plants I used to love growing in the cool mild maritime climate of the SF bay area are impossible to grow where I live. This is not just because of the high daytime heat. It's not as simple as that. Specifically, it is the high heat during the night (and those warm nights are a direct result of the humidity) that causes cool-climate and cool-season plants to eventually die here.
