Google Photos is finally putting an end to a frustrating photo editing problem
No more duplicates for edited photos
Google Photos is set to eliminate a persistent issue related to photo editing. When advanced editing tools such as Magic Eraser, Unblur, or Ultra HDR are used, the photos are now saved directly to the original image. Previously, editing these features created an extra duplicate copy, leading to a pile of redundant photos. Google Photos will apply adjustments to the initial image rather than creating a separate edited version.
Users can still revert to the original image or tweak the edits if needed. This update eases the process of experimenting with various edits. The modification is set to roll out to Android 11 and newer devices, affecting the majority of Google Photos users.
