The magic of editing

Google Photos has a neat feature, where once in a while it chooses some of your uploads to “stylize” and really spice them up with after-effects.

If you look at the result on its own, you might think “wow, that was a great picture!”, though compared to the actual shot, you’ll take that right back.

Its how all those professional shots you see look so great, too – just not to the same level as Google takes it. Editing really can take a normal photo, and really make it pop. Compare the two versions here!
