Google Photos users on Android will finally be able to access the long-awaited perspective correction tool. It was quietly removed during the app’s major editing section redesign earlier this year. With the new update, the feature is making a comeback . This will finally provide relief to users who struggled with the redesigned interface and missed this precise adjustment option.
Perspective correction features make a comeback on Google Photos
Google has officially confirmed that the perspective correction feature is now being rolled out with the update. The comeback follows several months of hints from Google and ongoing feedback from users who relied on the feature for accurate visual adjustments. When the major editing interface redesign was first introduced, many noticed the missing tool almost immediately. And without the tool, it was almost impossible to fix skewed angles in photos or adjust images taken from difficult positions from the official app.
Thankfully, the latest update is bringing back the feature. Users once again have access to a straightforward way to correct perspective or intentionally manipulate it for creative results. It was and remains one of the most widely used tools of the app.
The Photos app gets further UI refinements
Alongside the perspective correction feature, Google has refined several other UI components of the Photos app . The crop tool, which previously shifted to rounded corner brackets, is reverting to sharp square edges that align with the restored perspective controls. This visual change provides users with clearer reference points when making adjustments to the images. With these changes, the company aims to make the controls feel more familiar and intuitive.
As of right now, the new update seems to be rolling out in batches for the stable users. You may head over to the updates section of the Play Store to check if an update is available for you or not. If not, you need not worry. The update will land on your device in the coming few days.
