JAKARTA - Google Photos is correcting one of the biggest mistakes in its editor update this year. After making a major overhaul at the photo editing interface a few months ago, many users have complained about the loss of the presspective correction feature, one of the most useful tools to improve the angle and slope of the photo. Now, signs of the feature are back.

When Google updated its photos editor look last summer, the company accidentally removed a perspective correction tool that previously appeared in the crop settings menu. The loss of this feature immediately became the spotlight because many users relied on it to tidy up photos that were not symmetrical or appear oblique.

Google later confirmed that it plans to bring back the feature, but without certainty of the release schedule. Now, based on the latest findings, the code for the presspective correction feature has been re-entered in the latest version of the Photos application.

Although not yet officially available to all users, the Android Authority team has successfully activated the feature through a newer build app. This indicates that Google is in the final stages of returning the feature to Photos.

In the new view, the presspective correction icon does not appear immediately when opening editors. Users must:

Starting the crop process, or

Press the framing icon at the top left

After that, the perspective tool icon will appear and can be used.

Once activated, this feature works properly. There is a zoomed preview view to adjust the angular point accurately, and users can preview the transformation results before saving their edits.

Although there is no release date yet, the existence of this feature code hints that Google Photos is almost ready to bring it back to general users. The re-presence of the presspective correction will be good news for those who rely on this tool for quick and accurate photo editing.
