Google Gemini gets new image editing capabilities: 4 features you should know

Maintain likeness while editing
One of the key improvements is the ability to preserve a person’s or pet’s likeness across different edits. Whether it’s adding a new hairstyle, changing outfits, or placing someone in a different setting, the model ensures that the subject still looks like themselves. This feature is particularly useful when editing personal photos where subtle details matter.

Blend multiple photos into one
The Gemini app now allows users to merge two or more photos into a single image. For instance, you can combine a picture of yourself with one of your pet to generate a shared portrait in a completely new location, such as a sports arena or a scenic background. This blending capability opens up new ways to create personalized and imaginative scenes.

Multi-turn editing for flexibility
With the new multi-turn editing function, users can make step-by-step changes to a single image. You can begin with an empty room, then gradually add elements such as wall colors, furniture, or decorations. Each edit builds on the previous one, giving a more collaborative and flexible approach to customizing visuals without starting over each time.

Style transfer across objects
Style transfer across objects
The app also introduces style transfer, which lets users apply the design or texture from one image onto another object. For example, you could use the colors of flower petals to redesign a pair of boots or apply the patterns of butterfly wings to a dress. This feature brings an element of design experimentation directly into image editing.
