TL;DR
- Google is working to expand Gemini’s markup tools to images generated within Gemini, allowing users to highlight specific areas for editing.
- A pencil icon will soon appear on generated images, opening a markup screen.
- This change will eliminate the need for manual downloads and re-uploads when refining AI-generated visuals.
Marking images to pinpoint generative AI edits is a great quality-of-life improvement for Gemini’s image generation capabilities. We not only spotted the feature in development but also its rollout in December, when Google let users mark up specific parts of the attached image for analysis and editing. But there’s room for improvement: markup tools appear only when you attach an image, not for images Gemini has generated. We’ve now spotted Google working to bring markup tools to Gemini-generated images, too, helping pinpoint further edits.
Within Google app v17.8.59, we managed to enable markup tools on Gemini-generated images.
