Google Photos now lets you upgrade your pics to âUltra HDRâ after the fact
Credit: Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Google Photos is starting to roll out a new âUltra HDRâ editing option that lets users convert regular photos into Ultra HDR after capture. The feature is reportedly appearing in version 7.24.0.747539053 for some users via a server-side update. Ultra HDR images render richer colors and brightness levels on devices with HDR displays. Google Photos has been working on an âUltra HDRâ editing feature for a while now. We first spotted signs of the feature in the app last September, but at the time, the option wasnât functional, and it wasnât clear what it was supposed to do. Still, we had a hunch it was tied to the Ultra HDR file format Google introduced with Android 14.
