Several options exist on Android for AI-powered removal of objects from photos, including Google’s Magic Eraser in Google Photos, Adobe’s Generative removal powered by Firefly, and Samsung’s Object Eraser in its Gallery app. The aim of these tools is to eliminate unwanted people and objects from images, but which one performs better? To determine this, a comparison was made between Google Photos and Adobe Lightroom by feeding the same image into both apps. Although Samsung’s Object Eraser is highly effective, it is exclusive to Galaxy phones and was not included in the comparison.
The review compared the performance of Google Photos and Lightroom in removing unwanted objects from images. Lightroom proved to be more reliable, providing solid results with straight lines and accurate object removal. Google Photos, while faster, produced results that were not as polished as Adobe’s. Overall, Lightroom was deemed to be the superior choice for object removal due to its better shadow work and handling of details.
Examples were provided to illustrate the differences between the two apps in handling various scenarios, such as removing people from a sunset photo or filling in gaps on a cliff. In each case, Lightroom showcased better contextual awareness and accuracy in object removal compared to Google Photos. While both apps performed well, Lightroom was consistently favored for its more realistic and detailed results.
Ultimately, the review concluded that Lightroom is the preferred option for object removal due to its superior performance and contextual understanding of the image. While Google Photos also delivers satisfactory results, Lightroom’s Firefly technology excels in providing more precise and realistic edits. The final question posed to readers is whether they agree with the assessment that Lightroom outperforms Google Photos in object removal capabilities.
