Google\u2019s clever Magic Eraser tool debuted on the Pixel 6 and 6 Pro<\/a>. It\u2019s an editing feature that\u2019s designed to remove people or objects you don\u2019t want in the background of your photos. Considering that it\u2019s dead simple to use, the results are okay, but it\u2019s definitely not putting Adobe out of business anytime soon. But with the Pixel 6A<\/a> \u2014 and coming soon to the 6 and 6 Pro \u2014 Google has added a new Magic Eraser function that I like a lot more than the standard erase tool: Camouflage. It\u2019s just as easy to use, and the results are a lot more consistent.<\/p>\n

Magic Eraser works a bit like Photoshop\u2019s content-aware fill<\/a>. You make a selection, then it uses information from the surrounding image to remove the unwanted subject and fill in the area. With certain subjects, especially if they\u2019re isolated from other objects in your image, it works fairly well. Given that most photos are viewed on (relatively) tiny screens these days, the results look passable. But if the object you want to remove overlaps with other elements of the image, the final image doesn\u2019t look as good. It\u2019s harder for the system to make a good guess about how to fill in the space left behind, and it can create some weird-looking artifacts that are an even bigger distraction.<\/p>\n

The purple stroller isn\u2019t a great candidate for Erase since my subject overlaps it and the background is busy.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Changing it to grey makes it less of a distraction.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

That\u2019s where Camouflage is a great option. Rather than trying to remove the unwanted object entirely, the tool just desaturates it to make it less distracting. It\u2019s perfect for, say, a bright purple stroller behind your subject. Using Magic Eraser will make a mess of it trying to clone it out of existence, but Camouflage will do just enough to make it less of a distraction.<\/p>\n
