Google Photos continues to transform into a true editing studio thanks to artificial intelligence. A new option will soon allow you to decide precisely who to follow in the image, even in full motion. A simple but extremely effective tool that will soon be available on all smartphones.
Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing image editing, and Google Photos is one of the best examples. With tools like Magic Editor or Reimagine, it's possible to transform a photo in just a few steps: change the sky, erase a crowd, or rearrange elements. But these edits sometimes become invisible to the naked eye. To increase transparency, Google now integrates an invisible digital watermark via SynthID technology. This marking is automatically applied to images modified by AI, making any attempt at manipulation more easily detectable.
Alongside these efforts to secure content, Google is also improving the creative features of its Photos app. The “Track” video tool already allows you to keep a subject centered in the image, thanks to automatic motion tracking. But until now, it was impossible to manually choose the person being tracked, which could be problematic when there were multiple faces on screen. A new version finally corrects this limitation.
Google Photos will soon allow you to change the tracked subject in videos with the Track option.
Spotted in version 7.24.0 of Google Photos, this new feature introduces a “Track different subject” button. After automatic processing, the user will be able to select another subject on the screen by drawing a circle around it. The app will then restart dynamic tracking with this new focus point. The tool thus becomes much more useful in scenes with multiple people or fast-moving scenes, such as parties, football matches, or family videos.
Google has not yet enabled this feature publicly, but its presence in the code suggests an imminent launch. Combined with other recent improvements to Google Photos, it confirms the company's ambition: to offer semi-automatic video editing, powerful and accessible to all. Another step towards intelligent editing, without losing control over the final result.
