TL;DR

  • Google Images may quickly introduce a brand new “Extremely HDR” modifying choice below the app’s “Modify” characteristic.
  • “Extremely HDR” appears to be a step up from the prevailing “HDR impact,” although it isn’t totally useful but, and its precise options stay unclear.

Google Images could also be on the point of introduce a brand new editing option. Yesterday, we reported {that a} new image-flipping button was being added to Google Images. On the time of writing that story, we couldn’t see that choice.

In the meantime, a “Vibrance” choice now sits subsequent to the brand new “Extremely HDR” characteristic.
