TL;DR Google is testing an expansion to its Pixel-exclusive AI Enhance feature in the Photos app.
Instead of giving it more powers, Google is splitting AI Enhance into two variants.
The new feature would limit the number of output options, so you don’t get exhausted by too many.
Owning a Pixel device comes with perks, including exclusive features that other Android devices lack. One such exclusive feature (or rather, a set of features) is available in Google Photos’ image editor, offering extras such as Help Me Edit and AI-powered filters to improve photos with minimal input. And with an upcoming update, Google Photos may get more options like these, adding more flavor to your photo editing.
The Pixel-exclusive AI Enhance feature in Google Photos is getting buffed up. Currently, when you apply AI Enhance on a photo, the editor automatically crops and changes the composition of the picture, or fixes colors or lighting, to make the image look more appealing. Once finishes, the feature gives you three results to choose from.
Now, Google appears to be working on another version of AI Enhance that will produce only one picture instead of three options. Although the exact reason is unclear, it could help avoid choice fatigue among users and also reduce compute requirements at Google’s end. While it could also be seen as a way to save time, we didn’t notice that single-image generation was faster than when Google Photos makes three.
Google has also renamed the existing option as “AI Enhance II,” while the newer option is called “AI Enhance I.”
