Here’s a quick rundown:
- Gboard: The dark theme keyboard button now has a splash of color!
- Google Photos: Learn the difference between Magic Eraser and Magic Editor for better photo editing.
- Google Drive: Access the powerful Gemini side panel directly within the Drive PDF viewer.
Gboard’s Dark Mode Gets a Colorful Button
If you use Gboard on Android, you might have noticed a slight change in the dark theme recently. The button to access additional keyboard features (like translate, clipboard, etc.) now has a bit of color, matching the Enter key.
While this change might highlight the functionality of this button, some users find it distracting. It’s unclear if this is intentional or a bug, but it’s rolling out to the latest Gboard beta version.
Mastering Magic in Google Photos
Google Photos offers powerful AI editing tools like Magic Eraser and Magic Editor. While both can remove unwanted objects from your photos, they work differently.
- Magic Eraser: This tool works best for quick fixes on small objects in the background, like people in landscapes. It’s fast and easy.
- Magic Editor: This tool uses advanced technology to remove larger or more complex objects in the foreground. It takes more time but creates a more natural-looking result.
Google also offers tips for using Magic Editor effectively, like focusing on objects with clear boundaries and using pinch-to-zoom for precise selection.
