Let us tell you a secret. Google photos are not only for storing your photos but they can also be used to edit your photos. However, we can say that it doesn’t allow high-end editing features like masking or layering. But for regular normal edits for some things, you don’t want to open other apps as it can be very useful. Now let’s dive into the tips and tricks you can do to edit photos in Google Photos.
Note: You can find all the Google photo editing options under the Edit options. If you want to edit any photo, open Google photos and then click on the edit options. Then just use the tips and tricks given below to edit your photos.
You can Use Suggested Edits:
This is helpful for people who don’t want to visit different apps to edit their photos. Don’t worry, Google Photos will suggest you automatic suggestions for different photos, and you can choose whichever you like. The only thing you need to do is tap on suggested edits, and you will see multiple different edited photos. You can choose anyone you want. If you want to do this, just follow the steps given below:
- Firstly, go to your Google Photos and select the picture you want to edit.
- Now tap on the edit icon. Then you will see the suggestions tab. Just tap on them, and you can see the suggested effects. Note: You can only use one suggested effect at one time.
Crop and Rotate Photo:
You can also crop your images easily in Google Photos. Just follow the steps given below, and you will be able to crop your photos easily.
- Firstly, open the photo you want to crop in your Google photos. Then go to the editing mode by tapping on the Edit icon.
- Then just hit the crop option. Now just simply crop your photos as per your requirements.
- If you want to rotate your picture, you just have to repeatedly press Rotate icon multiple times, which is present inside the crop option.
Add Lighting and Colour Effects:
You will see an option of Adjust next to the Crop tool. Here you can see different options like warmth, tint, denoise, brightness, and contrast. If you want to use any of the options, you can easily just tap on them, and they will activate. Then a slider will appear through which you can add any of these in your photos.
Add Multiple effects and Filters:
If you have already added effects to your photo, you can also add more effects just as easily. But there is a trick to this as Google Photos only allows one filter at a time. So, what you can do is save that photo. And then again, go into the Google photos and click on edit, and then you can again add a filter of your choice.
Remove Filter:
You can just as easily remove the filter as you have added it. To remove the filter, you need to tap on the first option, i.e., None. This is the first option present under the Filter tab.
Remove Lighting and Colour effects:
You don’t have to start from scratch when you are adding any effect to your picture. For instance, warmth, brightness, etc. To remove the effect, you can just go to the Adjust tab and click on the already added effect. When you click on the same icon, then it will get removed. Lastly, to save the change, click on the Done button.
Conclusion:
These are some of the different ways by which you can edit photos from your gallery, and the steps and process are very easy. Hope you find this information useful.
