Google's Search Generative Experience can now generate images using a text input. Back in March, Microsoft launched the same feature for Bing Chat using OpenAI’s DALL-E mode. Keeping up with the competition, Google has also followed suit. Once a user has opted for SGE through Google’s Search Labs program, they can type a query into the Google search bar. SGE will then create a few images based on the prompt. As per The Verge, Google's new feature is powered by the Imagen family of AI models. The GIF below shows how the feature works.

Adobe brings Lightroom's Ultra HDR image editing to Android

Adobe has made the Ultra HDR image editing option in Lightroom mobile available for Android. The update comes right around the time when Android 14 is about to roll out for the users. The new update is supported by Google's new OS. Ultra HDR image editing uses a wider range of light and dark tones to express an image which makes it appear very real. To enable this mode, Select the three-line icon > Preferences > Photo Import Options > Enable HDR edit mode for new photos. This will allow you to automatically view HDR data while editing an imported HDR photo.

DraGAN is taking the simplicity in photo editing to the next level, leaving behind Photoshop with its AI click -and-drag feature tool. Unlike most photo editing apps, the tools provided in DraGAN let you click on specific areas of the image to create points, and then drag them across to edit. Similar to dragging an element of the picture with your mouse, DraGAN will let you drag points to edit the image realistically without having to use complex photoshop tools.

Google to blur explicit images in search results by default

In an announcement today, Google says that it will soon enable a new SafeSearch blurring setting by default for all users. The filter will protect users from encountering explicit imagery after searching on the engine. Released to mark Safer Internet Day, Google is aiming to make the internet secure for users with a filter that is designed to blur sexually explicit content like pornography, violence, and gore. Users, however, can choose to turn the filter off in settings at their own wish. The filter was already turned on previously, for users under the age of 18. The filter will blur content in search results but will also provide the option to view the image by clicking on the button, after ignoring the warning. The popular search engine company has noted that the automated system blurring explicit content might not be 100% accurate. Just last year, Google announced that it would use AI to improve its automated systems in removing unwanted explicit or suggestive content fr...
