The Magic Editor feature in Google Photos, known for its ability to alter photos has limitations that users of the Pixel 8 series should be aware of. Android Authority recently explored the Google Photos v.6.60 patch and discovered restrictions imposed by the Magic Editor tool on certain types of edits.
According to the uncovered code strings the Magic Editor tool is cautious when it comes to certain subjects. It refuses to make changes to images of “ID cards, receipts,” or any other documents that violate Googles GenAI terms. Additionally it avoids editing images with identifiable information, human faces, body parts or large selected areas in a photo. The limitation on selections is due to the tools preference for avoiding data intensive edits. If you select portions in a photo an error message will appear guiding you to keep your selections concise and focused.
