Overview

• Google’s upgraded image editor is rolling out across the Gemini app and developer channels, with reviewers publishing hands-on results this week.
• Key capabilities include strong character consistency across edits, multi-image fusion, and multi-turn workflows that preserve subjects over iterative changes.
• Independent tests report edits in roughly 15–30 seconds per request, making routine changes far quicker than manual tools.
• Notable gaps remain, including the app declining precise aspect‑ratio crops and occasional errors when combining faces from different photos.
• Google attaches a visible AI mark and an invisible SynthID tag to outputs, yet the detector is not broadly accessible and the visible mark can be cropped, prompting deepfake concerns.
