In this article, we want to show you how to get the best out of Magic Eraser on a Google One subscription.

What is Google’s Magic Eraser?
The Magic Eraser tool is a simple, easy-to-use object eraser that you can use on your photos. You may ask where is the ‘magic’. Well, it’s down to how precisely the tool detects and highlights objects that you can remove from the background. Thus, you can enhance and clean up photos by removing any object or person in the background without much effort.
Once you select the objects and they are erased, you will realize that this tool does a perfect job of cleaning up photos. This could be due to the machine learning capabilities embedded in the backend algorithm, Let’s look at it for yourself in the next section of the article.
As mentioned earlier, you need to sign up for Google One and install Google Photos on your Android device or iPhone. You can download the app from the link below.

5 tips to get the best out of Magic Eraser
Here are some tips and tricks to get the best out of Magic Eraser on Google Photos.
1. Always zoom in to select the object
To improve the accuracy of Magic Eraser, zoom in on the photo and select the objects you want to erase manually. Alternatively, use two fingers to navigate around the photo and select more objects in the magnified view.
2. Circle or brush the subject multiple times
For better results, after the object is erased, scan around and circle the area where the object is again to erase any remaining traces of the object. The zoom feature will also help you with this.
3. Avoid removing objects in the foreground
Magic Eraser works best when subjects are in the background or out of focus with the main subject of the photo. Therefore, if you try to delete an object that is part of the main subject of the image, you may get undesirable results.
4. Using the Camouflage Feature
Along with the Magic Eraser on Google One, you also have another tool called Camouflage. Using this tool you can brush or circle the subject and it will camouflage with the closest colors and most of the time you will get a result that looks natural.
5. Use the Undo and Redo tools
Accidentally deleted part of your image? You do not have to start the process again. You can simply use the undo and redo tools to revert or forward to edit the photo.
That’s everything you need to know about using Magic Eraser on Google One using the Google Photos app. However, if you have any further questions, check out the FAQ section below.
