Wow. The use case that comes to mind for me is when you take a big family photo (or 20) and someone inevitably ends up cut-off by accident.

So then you just feed RealFill the 20 pictures you took and your uncle is magically painted in.

Also getting everyone smiling with their eyes open at the same time. Phone cameras could record a group photo for five or ten seconds and use the best expression from different times for each person.

Or you take a single picture of a group in front of a monument, but cut it off. As I understand it you could find pictures of the monument online, run the model, and have a picture with the group and the entire monument.

Probably google can even do this automatically - I would not be surprised if I get suggestions to fix images with cut off buildings via Google Photos in the future! Would be so cool.

Pixel phones already have some features kind of like this so it makes sense.

[lazycouchpotato]

I feel like this is already a thing with certain photo editing applications, if not built into phones themselves.

I’m a photographer that does families/weddings.

I’ve done this manually in Photoshop more times than I can count.

Usually more automated solutions only hold up to light scrutiny, but that’s rapidly changed in the past year. I’m sitting after this year and I’m a little miffed about it. Oh well.

[kennyadam]

You're sitting?

[Auracle]

Damn, autocorrect. Quitting.

Which won't involve much sitting at all, other than on those weekends I'll now be getting off.

From the leaks this may be coming to the Pixel 8

Leaks? Wasn't this a launch feature in Google Photos, while it was still Google+ Photos?

It was supposed to adjust eyes to open them if you took multiple photos.

[twism]

That's "Top Shot" which is the entire frame. The feature I'm referring to would adjust multiple faces in a frame by selecting the same faces/sections from different frames to a single target frame

[ChrisClark]

I swear that's what was announced, but I assume you're right because you actually know the term Top Shot, and I had no memory of that.

So your memory is probably better than mine. :)

I just remember some demo of a family shot and it automatically opening a little boys eyes by using another photo. And another auto combining of images so that you could take a lot of photos of a busy tourist place and automatically remove all the people.

[Grazester]

Yeah there is a version of the smart fill available on Pixel phones

[xwdv]

You don’t even need to take the photo, with enough images of each family member and images of a tourist destination you can just automatically construct a photo of everyone together at the location, saving the costs and carbon footprint of getting everyone together.

[cubefox]

And then why demand "photos" of family excursions at all, when it is just an AI imagining how things probably were happening at the time, or would have happened? We should just stick to our own imperfect memory.

[therein]

I'd imagine in the future we could have services such as this one:

> In exchange of a small fee and a 35 minutes suggestion session, get you and your family implanted with memories of a beautiful vacation that'll last you for a lifetime for fraction of the cost of an actual one.

That reminds me of https://hackaday.com/2023/06/02/ai-camera-imagines-a-photo-o...

A box that takes your gps location, weather, etc and autogenerates a photo from your PoV.
