How to Use Generative Edit on Samsung Galaxy S24 Models

In recent years, AI technology has become really popular, and now it’s even in our smartphones. The new Galaxy S24 series from Samsung have Galaxy AI, a bunch of smart tools that use AI to help you out, including features for editing your photos. This post will show you how to use generative edit on Samsung Galaxy S24 series running One UI 6.0 based on Android 14.

What is Generative Edit?

Generative Edit is essentially Samsung’s take on Magic Editor, which Google introduced on its Pixel devices last year. This tool harnesses Samsung’s AI model to enhance photo editing, enabling you to locate and remove objects from any image, or even rearrange them. While it may seem straightforward, a significant amount of complex processing happens behind the scenes.

In typical photo editing applications, you can meticulously select any object using a lasso tool or a similar feature. Once selected, you can freely move, resize, and position the object anywhere within the image. That’s the simple part. The real challenge lies in seamlessly filling the void left behind by the removed portion of the image.

Generative Edit is perfect at filling in the gaps when you remove something from a picture. It looks at the rest of the picture and uses clues to create new parts that fit in. For example, if you move a person from one part of the picture to another, Generative Edit can recreate the missing part of the background, like the tree, including all the leaves.

Unlike Edit Suggestions, Generative Edit relies on the internet, so you’ll need to be connected to the internet for it to work. It also takes a bit longer to finish processing your edits, especially if you’re making a bunch of them, so don’t be surprised if it takes a few seconds for your changes to show up.

That’s all. This is how you can enable and the generative edit feature on Samsung Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24 Plus, and Galaxy S24 Ultra.
