What Does The Magic Eraser Do Exactly?

Magic Eraser works inside the Google Photos app. It detects so-called distractions in your photo, whether it’s an electrical pole or an errant family member. Magic Eraser can remove nearly anything and replace the area with the background as if that object or person never existed. It works similarly to the Spot Removal tool in Adobe Lightroom, but instead of using your mouse and a brush tool to select the area to edit, you can let Google automatically select change to make or use your fingers to highlight the problem areas. And like the Spot Removal tool, it’s not always accurate, as you’ll notice in some of the sample photos.
