Samsung has a hidden challenger to Google's Magic Eraser mode on the Galaxy S22 UItra. It's called Object Eraser, and this is how you use it.
Google made a splash with its Magic Eraser feature for Google Photos on the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, but it’s no longer the only way you can remove unwanted elements from your photos. If you own a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra, the same type of feature is waiting for you and it’s called Object Eraser. It’s a little hidden away, but here’s how to use it, and how it compares with Google’s similar tool.
You have to enable Labs features yourself. Open the Gallery app on the phone, select a photo you want to edit, tap the Pencil icon to enter editing mode, and finally tap the dots in the bottom right of the screen to open the extended menu. Here, if Labs is already enabled and you have the latest version of the Photo Editor, you’ll see the Object Eraser feature. If not, follow the Labs icon at the bottom of the screen to enable it, or tap About Photo Editor to check for an app update.
What about a slightly easier scene? The photo of the car isn’t a good photo, but it does have a person in the background ripe for removal. Object Eraser proves very effective at doing so, and if you didn’t know there was a person there in the original photo, I don’t think you can tell in the edited version. I found Google’s Magic Eraser was similarly effective when removing small figures.
It’s immediately obvious Magic Eraser does a better job of replicating the background in place of the person and dogs, particularly on the dog in the far left of the photo. If the shadow wasn’t there, a quick glance probably wouldn’t alert you to the fact it has been edited in any way. Previous Next 1 of 3 Put the same photos through Magic Eraser and in the street photo it understands the orange bag should be removed, but while there is less haze around the removed person in the other photo, the railings make it clear something has changed. Neither is perfect, but still, one does edge ahead of the other.
