Google Snapseed adds on-device AI object editing

Google AI has introduced a new on-device image segmentation feature for its Snapseed photo editing app, called Object Brush. This feature allows users to intuitively select and edit specific objects within an image by simply drawing a stroke on them. The technology, powered by an AI model called the Interactive Segmenter that runs entirely on the device, enables real-time adjustments in under 20 milliseconds. This advancement aims to make advanced photo editing more accessible and precise on mobile platforms. AI

IMPACT Enhances mobile photo editing capabilities with on-device AI, making advanced segmentation accessible to more users.
