Google’s magic eraser tool debuted on the pixel 6 and 6 Pro. It’s an editing feature that’s designed to remove people or objects you do n’t want in the background of your photos.
Magic eraser works a bit like Photoshop’s content-aware fill. You make a selection, then it uses information from the surrounding image to remove the unwanted subject and fill in the area. But if the object you want to remove overlaps with other elements of the image, the final image does n’t look as good.
It’s perfect for a bright purple stroller behind your subject. Instead of trying to remove the object entirely, the tool just desaturates it to make it less distracting.
De-saturating a brightly colored object behind my subject helps keep attention where I want it, without losing that context or introducing other distracting artifacts.
