Google Photos has released new updates to improve how users edit both HDR and SDR images.
HDR photos will now keep their full dynamic range and important HDR metadata even after using editing tools like Photo Unblur, Magic Eraser, and Portrait Light. This means edited HDR images will keep their original contrast, brightness, and detail when viewed on HDR-capable screens.
A new “Ultra HDR” tool has also been added. It lets users adjust the brightness of their photos more precisely. This helps users get the exact look they want. Along with this change, the old “HDR” tool has been renamed to “Tone” to better describe its role in adjusting light and contrast.
Another part of the update is the ability to enhance SDR photos to HDR. This boosts brightness, contrast, and clarity, making older or standard images look sharper and more vibrant on modern displays that support HDR.
Google hasn’t confirmed if the rollout is tied to an app update or a server-side change, but the features are gradually appearing for Google Photos users with HDR-capable screens.
