Google has an interesting way of selling its latest Photos editing feature. Announcing its new face touch-up tools, the company says your photos should \u201ccapture how you feel in the moment\u201d \u2014 something that may come as a surprise to the traditionalists who think a photo should show how you actually looked. Either way, Google is now officially rolling out quick retouching options for faces in Google Photos on Android.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

In the blog post announcement, Google says the new tools let you apply \u201csubtle enhancements\u201d that refine skin texture, remove blemishes, brighten eyes, or whiten teeth. You just tap a face in a photo, choose from options like heal, smooth, under eyes, irises, teeth, eyebrows, or lips, and then adjust the intensity to your liking.<\/p>\n

This feature has been a long time coming. Back in October, we spotted code strings in Google Photos pointing to a Face retouch tool, along with tags referencing things like acne, blemishes, dark circles, and teeth whitening. Then in December, we managed to activate the feature ourselves and got a first look at the Touch Up interface, which included individual controls for features like under-eye, iris, teeth, eyebrows, and lips. The video above shows how the tool worked at the time.<\/p>\n

Google says the touch-up tools are gradually rolling out globally in the Google Photos app for Android devices with at least 4GB of RAM and Android 9 or later. Whether you want your photos to reflect reality or your mood at the time is entirely your call.<\/p>\n
