Google is bringing AI-powered photo editing to more users around the world, making it easier to fix your photos with simple text commands instead of complicated editing tools. The company announced Tuesday that it’s expanding natural language-based editing in Google Photos to additional countries, including Australia, India, and Japan. The feature, which Google first launched for Pixel 10 users in the U.S. last August, lets people describe the changes they want to make to their photos rather than manually adjusting sliders or learning complex editing software. Users in these newly supported countries will now see a “Help me Edit” box when they tap the edit option on a photo. From there, they can either select from suggested prompts or type their own requests in plain language. For example, you could ask the app to “remove the motorcycle in the background,” “reduce the background blur,” or use a more general command like “restore this old photo.” The AI can handle surprisingly specific requests too. You can ask it to edit a friend’s pose, remove their glasses, or even have them open their eyes in a photo where they blinked. The feature uses Google’s Nano Banana image model to transform photos, and all the processing happens directly within the app without requiring an internet connection for the actual editing. Loading the player… The feature will work on any Android device with at least 4GB of RAM running Android 8.0 or higher, meaning it’s not limited to Google’s own Pixel phones. Along with this geographic expansion, Google is also adding language support beyond English, including Hindi, Tamil, Marathi, Telugu, Bengali, and Gujarati, making the tool accessible to millions more users in their native languages. Google is also rolling out C2PA Content Credentials support in Google Photos for these countries. This metadata will indicate when an image was created or edited using AI. As AI-generated and AI-edited images become more common, social media platforms have be...

These companies have raised their dividends for decades without fail, and appeal to all different investing strategies. There's a lot to like about investing in dividend stocks. They pay you income that you can reinvest for more dividends, or simply take that money and pay your bills with it. The beauty of it all is that you never have to sell your shares. Consumer spending is the heartbeat of the economy. Investors can find many high-quality dividend stocks in consumer-facing companies with strong brands and long track records of success. Some excellent examples include Costco Wholesale (COST 0.76%), The Coca-Cola Company (KO +1.36%), and Altria Group (MO +1.12%). All three represent very different investing styles. Here is the skinny on each one. 1. A leading retailer with a loyal customer base Costco Wholesale might be the only store with a borderline cult following. People flock to the membership-only big-box retailer for its famous hot-dog meal deal and deals on bulk quantity merchandise. As one of the world's largest retailers, it can source and sell products at low prices. In fact, most of Costco's profit doesn't come from merchandise sales, but from the subscription fees members pay.

While the stock yields only 0.5%, there is room for growth, as Costco spends only a quarter of its earnings on dividends. Costco has also paid an occasional special dividend over the years, a potential bonus for long-term investors. 2. A global icon with decades of dividend growth Coca-Cola built a global empire on its namesake soda. Today, the company sells billions of servings of soda, water, juice, coffee, and other beverages worldwide. Everyone gets ...
