Google’s demo was more than impressive, and we’d love to see this in action. With Google+’s Auto Awesome Eraser, you can take a series of shots and Google wont just edit out a single subject who wandered into your shot, but almost every subject in the picture period. You’re attempting to photograph a loved one and the landscape in the background, but oblivious people keep walking into your shot. It’s a situation we’ve all encountered before. Google+ takes it one step further by altering the alpha channels to create a ghost effect if the subject overlaps themselves in the image. We’ve seen this feature on devices from HTC and Samsung, and now, Google+ apparently. What Action does is recognizes a moving subject (a basket ball player, skateboarder or gymnist) and super imposes them onto the same background creating a single image of the action.

Today Google announced a new way to spice up a series of images with a feature they call “Action”. We’ve already seen the way Google+ can recognize a series of similar images, and transform them into a fun little GIF (while leaving the original images untouched). Now you can tell Auto Awesome to take it easy on the enhancing of your photos, or simply turn it off altogether. Well, now Auto Awesome introduces 2 ways to adjust auto enhance: low or high settings. Occasionally, you may have notice that Auto Awesome was a bit overzealous in its tweaks. Previously you’d upload a photo to Google+, and hope that Auto Awesome did the trick. Google+s Auto Awesome photo editing feature - the one that automatically “gifts” enhanced photos to users - has also been improved. With HDR Scape, Google can take a single image, and using their advanced Pixel edge contrast, tune to the image to produce an HDR experience unrivaled on mobile.

Normally, you smartphone camera has to take 2 or 3 shots - in varying exposures - then super impose them on top of each other for improved dynamic range.

HDR isn’t really anything new, in fact, you’ve probably noticed your smartphone camera with this handy feature. To show that haven’t forgotten about their powerful photo editing tool, they’re adding a new filter for users called HDR Scape. Google continues to invest in Snapseed, a photo editing tool not just available as an app for Android, but also in Google+. You already know about SMS (finally) making it’s way into Hangouts, and when it comes to Google+ Photos, Google is going balls to the wall with their photo and video enhancing abilities. Vic Gundotra just signed off from Google’s live streaming Google+ event, where the VP announced new features and services soon making their way into Google’s budding social network.
