Google Drive adds enhanced image-editing software


There are many great image-editing tools available as extensions for Chrome.

PicMonkey, Rollip and Pixlr are a few of the outstanding tools that spring to mind.

But with the latest updates to its inhouse image-editing software, is Google usurping the need for third party tools?

This fantastic GIF, put together by Joshua Berg, highlights just one new enhancement in Google Drive’s advanced image editor.

Google Drive Docs – raising the bar

Add these improvements to this year’s upgrade of ‘Sheets’, Google’s spreadsheet program, and you’ve got to think that Microsoft are beginning to worry.

Who’s going to be willing to pay hundreds of pounds for Office software when Google is matching near-compatibility for free?

Okay, so maybe we sacrifice a little privacy. But anyone in marketing surely wants Google to know more about them?

With Knowledge Graph making leaps and bounds, the more Google knows about us, the more accurately it can:

  • define our influencers;
  • highlight relevant search results
  • serve our content to more relevant audiences.
