The Google Photos editor just got better on desktop

Google Photos has a decent selection of tools that you can use to edit your photos and videos. Editing your photos using the Google Photos app has offered more tools than using the desktop version, but Google is looking to change that. According to 9To5Google, the Google Photos editor on desktop is going to be getting better.

Editing photos on your phone and on the desktop are pretty similar. You have access to all the tools you need to make some quick edits to your photo.

Google just made editing photos on desktop better

Google recently updated the editing experience on the desktop, and that made it a lot easier to use. While that’s the case, the company recently pushed a new update that makes using it just a bit more intuitive.

Starting off, when you’re looking to crop your image, you’ll see the list of options pop up on the right side of the screen. You won’t need to access the dropdown menu to change the aspect ratio. The list has a handful of standard aspect ratios, so you can quickly choose.

Next, the platform will give you some suggestions that you can use to enhance the photo. This uses AI to identify the scene and give you suggestions. So, the list of suggestions will differ based on the image you’re editing.

When you’re looking to make adjustments to the photo like the color, contrast, etc, you’ll see all of the options laid out in a list of sliders. Before, all of the options were divided into different menus that you had to navigate through. This makes it easier to quickly find the option you want.

Lastly, the filters section is no longer the first one you see. It’s now the last one. These are nice changes that are good news for you if you edit your photos on the desktop.
