Google Introduces Much-Needed Enhanced Google Photos Features

Share

Google Photos is rolling out a new, more powerful photo editor to all those who access the service via a web browser.

Previously available only to paying Google One subscribers, the update brings with it a revamped user interface and a powerful selection of enhanced features that used to be available only in the Google Photos mobile apps. These are now being enabled for all Google Photos users, not just subscribers.

While the upgraded editor is undoubtedly more powerful, it also appears to place considerably more strain on your computer’s hardware. If you don’t have hardware acceleration enabled in your browser, then you’re probably in for a rather sluggish experience that’s considerably worse than using the smartphone app.
