Crop and Adjust: Google Photos gets new tool to take clear pictures of documents

Google is introducing a nifty feature — ‘Crop and Adjust’ — to the Photos app to enhance the user experience better for users.

At Google I/O 2018, Google updated the Photos app with ‘Suggested Actions’ that allowed users to perform actions like brighten, rotate, archive an image. Crop and Adjust would be the next feature added under the Suggested Actions tab. The feature would automatically scan documents uploaded on the app and adjust colours. The feature would also enable removing the background with the help of Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Google announced on Twitter that the feature would roll out this week on Android devices.

Crop and Adjust is expected to be on iOS soon. The feature is similar to what is found on a variety of applications like CamScanner, Microsoft Office Lens, Adobe Scan, etc. These apps are available on both, Android and iOS.
