I\u2019ve also been responsible for the Movies feature that automatically creates movies from your moments (or lets you make them on the fly), plus collages, animations, and more (we\u2019re just getting warmed up). From the <a href=\"http:\/\/googleblog.blogspot.com\/2015\/05\/picture-this-fresh-approach-to-photos.html\">team blog post<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The app can also help you quickly enhance photos and combine them in new ways to help you relive your life\u2019s moments. In one tap, get instant adjustments tuned to the photo\u2019s color, lighting, and subject to make each photo look its best. Press the \u201c+\u201d button to create your own collages, animations, movies with soundtracks, and more.<\/p>\n<p>If you swipe to the left, you\u2019ll open the Assistant view, where we\u2019ll suggest new things made with your photos and videos, such as a collage or a story based on a recent trip you took. After previewing the creation, you can choose to keep, edit, or discard it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>As I say, I\u2019ll share more details soon. In the meantime, we\u2019d love to know what you think! If you have questions, ask \u2018em here or check out the new\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/plus.sandbox.google.com\/communities\/115899483237483386886\">help community<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Happy shooting,<br \/>J.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>*Seriously? Yes, seriously. We maintain the original resolution up to 16MP for photos, and 1080p high-definition for videos. If you want to store <em>really<\/em> high-res stuff, uncompressed raw images, etc., you still get an <em>additional<\/em> 15GB of free storage, and after that storage is super cheap (two bucks a month for 100GB, ten for 1000).<\/p>\n<p>[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ydBjsZnHrwM\">YouTube<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Google\u2019s mission is \u201cto organize the world&#8217;s information and make it universally accessible and useful.\u201d A huge amount of that information is photographic (a trillion+ photos per year), and a huge amount of that is private.
