6.0 Hardware&Software Requirement

 INTRODUCTION TO GOOGLE PHOTO : -

Google Photos is a photo sharing and storage service developed by Google. It was announced in
May 2015 and spun off from Google+, the company's former social network.
Google Photos shares the 15 gigabyte of free storage space with other Google services,
such as Google drive and Gmail. Users can upload their photos and videos in either quality
setting, original or compressed (photos and videos up to 16 megapixel and 1080p reservations,
respectively), that will count towards the free storage tier (compressed items uploaded before
June 1, 2021, along with items uploaded via pixel phones released before that date, are
unlimited). Users can expand their storage through paidGoogle One subscriptions.
The service automatically analyses photos, identifying various visual features and
subjects. Users can search for anything in photos, with the service returning results from three
major categories: PeoplePlaces, and Things. The computer vision of Google Photos recognizes
faces (not only those of humans but pets as well), grouping similar ones together (this feature is
only available in certain countries due to privacy laws); geographic landmarks and subject
matter, including birthdays, buildings, animals, foodand more.
Different forms of Learning in the Photos service allow recognition of photo contents,
automaticallygenerate albums, animate similar photos into quick videos, surface past memories
at significant times and improve the quality of photos and videos. In May 2017, Google
announced several updates to Google Photos, including reminders for and suggested sharing
of photos, shared photo libraries between two users, and physical albums. Photos automatically
suggested collections based onface, location,trip, or other distinction.
Google Photos received critical acclaim after its decoupling from Google+ in 2015.
Reviewers praised the updated Photos service for its recognition technology, search, apps, and
loading times. Nevertheless, privacy concerns were raised, including Google's motivation for
building the service, aswell as its relationship to governments and possible laws requiring
Google to hand over a user'sentire photo history. Google Photos has seen strong user adoption.
It reached 100 million users after five months, 200million after one year, 500 million after two
years, and passed the 1 billion user mark in 2019, four years after its initial launch. Google
reports as of 2020, approximately 28 billion photos and videos are uploaded to the service every
week, and more than 4 trillion photos are stored in the service total.

March 22, 2011 Invention of Google Photo Appstore

3/15/21 Premium editing features only on Android right now. If you

have a Pixel phone, you will see some new buttons when
you’re editing a photo. If you have some other brand of
Android phone, AND you are a Google One subscriber (you
pay for storage) then you will also have those new buttons.
On non-Pixel Androids, you will see them marked with the
 Google One logo. In the image below, the premium editing
features are: Dynamic, Portrait, Color Pop, Blur, Color focus,
Portrait light. The portrait-related options will only appear
on photos with a face. Note: when you
use a premium editing feature you can no longer save the
photo, you
must Save a Copy.
People and Pets widget for Android home screens. When
June 2017 youwidget to an Android phone home screen, you’ll see a
category for Google Photos. Within that are now: People
and Pets and Your memories. For People and Pets, you
select up to 10 faces you want. Your memories are
automatic.

11/12/21 Chapter 7: The iOS version of Google Photos will

now have access to premium editing tools. You must be a
member of Google One to have the premium tools. If you
are, you’ll see a multicolor 1 badge on the special features.
With these new tools you can do the following:

 Portrait light : Change the position and brightness

of lightl photos of people.
 Blur : Blur the background on certain photos of
peopleno l captured in portrait mode.
 Color focus : Desaturate the background, while
you keep l foreground color for photos of people.
 Smart suggestions : Easy to use one-tap edits
that adapt to each photo’s content.

 HDR : Enhance brightness and contrast across

the image.

 Sky Select from several palettes and adjust

the color andcontrast in the sky.

2018 “Relevant” Search results. I just noticed this, some people

have had it for a while, some still don’t have it. For now, it is
only available on the Web version. When you search for
something like “white boots” Google Photos may return
hundreds of results – in date order. As you scroll down,
you’re going back in time. The “Relevant” results is a bar at
the top that is the same results, but in order by relevance.
So, the photos that Google thinks match most closely to
what you want will be shown in a bar at the top, then you
 can click the “More>” button to see the rest. The results will
still be shown in date order below that.

Disadvantages of Google Photo:

 1. Privacy Concerns:
Uploading personal photos to Google Photos means entrusting
Google with potentially sensitive information. While Google claims to
prioritize user privacy and security, there's always a risk of data breaches
or unauthorized access.

2. Storage Limitations:
Although Google provides free storage for compressed photos and
videos, original-quality uploads count against your Google account's
storage limit. Users may need to pay for additional storage once they
exceed the free quota.

3. Dependency on Internet Connection:

Accessing photos stored on Google Photos requires an internet
connection. If you're in an area with poor connectivity or no access to the
internet, you may not be able to view or retrieve your photos.

4. Loss of Control:
By storing your photos on Google's servers, you're relinquishing
some control over your data. Google's terms of service dictate how they
can use your content, which might include using it for advertising or
other purposes.

5. Limited Editing Features:

While Google Photos offers basic editing tools, they may not be
as advanced as dedicated photo editing software. Users who require more
sophisticated editing capabilities may find Google Photos lacking.

6. Potential for Errors in Auto-Organization:
