谷歌照片(Google Photos)是一个很好的照片云存储选项，即使它的无限存储时代已经结束。您通过Google(Google)帐户获得的 15GB 免费在线存储空间现在在Gmail和Google Drive等多个应用程序中共享。
与DropBox等应用程序不同，Google Photos也可用于快速照片编辑。您可以使用过滤器和其他编辑工具，然后在社交媒体上分享您的创作。利用以下所有提示和技巧，充分利用Google 相册(Google Photos)。
1.创建(Create) 电影(Movies)、照片拼贴(Photo Collages)和动画
您可能已经注意到，有时Google会根据您的照片自动创建拼贴画和动画，但您可以随时自行创建。探索Google 相册(Google Photos)中称为实用程序(Utilities)的部分。您可以在此处创建新电影、动画或拼贴画。
电影(Movies )可以有配乐，您可以控制每张照片的显示时间。当您为拼贴(Collage)选择图片时，Google会自动为您将它们排列成一张图片。要创建动画 gif(animated gif)，请选择“动画(Animation)” 。
2. 逻辑搜索
通过在桌面网站顶部或移动应用程序底部的搜索栏中键入人物、地点、对象和特定日期来搜索。
3. 给人和宠物贴上标签
在 Google 相册的“探索”(Explore)部分的“人物与宠物(People & Pets)”下方，您会在照片中看到一排人物和宠物的头像。选择一个没有标签的，然后输入他们的名字。然后，您将能够按名称搜索他们的照片。
选择您的姓名并查看您多年来的所有自拍照和照片。创建一个幻灯片，看看你是如何改变的！
4.按表情符号搜索
在移动设备上使用Google 相册(Google Photos)应用时，您甚至可以按表情符号进行搜索。(emoji)
5.添加背景模糊
Google One会员和Pixel拥有者可以使用人像模糊(Portrait Blur)功能，智能地模糊人物照片的背景。谷歌(Google)刚刚宣布，这些用户很快也可以模糊其他照片的背景。
6.隐藏位置信息
当您使用设备拍照时，位置信息可能会与图像一起保存。要防止位置信息与您的照片共享，请转到照片设置(Photos Settings)>位置(Location )>位置源(Location sources)>相机设置，然后(Camera settings)将保存位置(Save location)切换到关闭(Off)位置。
7. 下载你所有的照片
Google提供了一种相对简单的方法，可以使用Google Takeout一次性(Google Takeout)下载所有照片(download all your photos)。Google Takeout也是导出或下载所有 Gmail 电子邮件(export or download all Gmail emails)的好方法。
8.在编辑时查看(Editing)原件(Original)
在应用程序中编辑照片时，点按并按住图片以查看原始照片。在浏览器中，单击并按住已编辑的图像以查看原始图像。
9. 使用 PhotoScan 添加旧照片
使用 Google 的 PhotoScan 应用程序（适用于Android和iPhone）扫描旧照片(old photos)比只拍一张照片要好。它从多个角度扫描旧图片（或文档）以减少眩光。为后代保留这些旧照片！(Preserve)
10. 不仅仅适用于安卓手机
iPhone 用户也可以享受Google 相册(Google Photos)。下载Google 相册 iOS 应用(Google Photos iOS app)。
11. 将屏幕投射到电视上
如果您在Android设备上使用(Android)Google 相册，您可以通过(Google Photos)将屏幕投射到其他设备(casting your screen to another device)（例如电视 ）与房间中的每个人分享照片。
12.节省空间
删除照片并不是节省Google 照片(Google Photos)帐户空间的唯一方法。压缩您的高质量照片，这样您就可以释放空间并且不会遇到可怕的照片存储限制。在Google 相册(Google Photos)应用中，选择右上角的个人资料照片。
然后选择照片设置(Photos settings )>备份和同步( Backup & sync)>上传大小(Upload size)。您可以在此处选择以原始质量备份照片或稍微降低上传照片的质量。
13. 分享图片和相册
Google照片中有许多共享选项。与特定的人共享(Share)单个图像或整个相册，或创建任何人都可以使用的链接。如果您在共享相册中添加更多图片，则与您共享相册的人（或拥有链接的人）将能够看到您添加到相册中的新照片。
当您在Google 照片(Google Photos)应用中分享照片时，您会看到通过Google 照片(Google Photos)或其他消息和社交媒体应用分享的选项。
14. 创建相册
虽然数码照片很棒，但拥有可以拿着的实物也很好。在桌面站点上，选择打印商店(Print store)将您最好的照片组合成相册。在应用程序中，选择更多(More)图标（三个点），然后选择订购照片(Order photo)。您可以创建相册、订购照片打印或创建照片的画布打印。这些是极好的礼物，尤其是送给父母和祖父母。
15. 使用锁定文件夹以获得更好的安全性(Better Security)
要将设备上的照片移至锁定文件夹，请选择更多(More )图标并移至锁定文件夹(Move to Locked Folder)。将图像移动到锁定的文件夹意味着它将在Google 照片(Google Photos)的其他区域和您设备上的其他应用程序中隐藏。该照片不会被备份或共享，如果您卸载Google 相册(Google Photos)，它将被删除。
16.启用备份和同步
在手机上安装Google Photos移动应用后，系统会提示您启用备份(Back Up)和同步(Sync)。当您可以访问互联网时，此功能会自动保存新照片和视频，如果您没有太多设备存储空间，这非常棒。然后，您将始终能够在您的Google 相册(Google Photos)库中找到您的图片和视频。您可以将其设置为仅在连接到 Wi-Fi 时进行备份和同步。
如果您是 iPhone 用户并且已经将照片备份到 iCloud，那么 Google 的备份(Back Up)和同步(Sync)功能是很好的第二道防线。在应用程序中，点击您的个人资料照片，然后选择照片设置(Photos settings)>备份和同步(Back up & sync)。
16 Easy and Fun Google Photos Tips and Tricks
Google Photos is a goоd cloud storage option fоr your photos, even thоugh its days of υnlimited storage are over. The 15GB of freе online storage you get with a Google account іѕ now shared across sеveral apps like Gmail and Google Drive.
Unlike apps like DropBox, Google Photos is also useful for quick photo editing. You can use filters and other editing tools and then share your creations on social media. Take advantage of all the tips and tricks below to get the most out of Google Photos.
1. Create Movies, Photo Collages, and Animations
You might have noticed that occasionally Google automatically creates collages and animations from your photos, but you can create them yourself whenever you want. Explore the section of Google Photos called Utilities. That’s where you can create a new movie, animation, or collage.
Movies can have soundtracks, and you can control how long each photo appears. When you choose images for a Collage, Google will automatically arrange them into a single image for you. To create an animated gif, choose Animation.
2. Search Logically
Search by people, places, objects, and specific dates by typing in the search bar at the top of the desktop site or the bottom of the mobile app.
3. Label People & Pets
In the Explore section of Google Photos, under People & Pets, you’ll see a row of headshots of people and pets in your photos. Select one that doesn’t have a label, and enter their name. Then you’ll be able to search for pictures of them by name.
Select your name and view all selfies and photos of yourself from over the years. Create a slideshow and see how you’ve changed!
4. Search by Emoji
You can even search by emoji when using the Google Photos app on a mobile device.
5. Add Background Blur
Google One members and Pixel owners can use the Portrait Blur feature that intelligently blurs the background of pics of people. Google just announced that these users would soon be able to blur the backgrounds of other photos as well.
6. Hide Location Information
When you take a photo with your device, location information is likely saved along with the image. To prevent location information from being shared with your photos, go to Photos Settings > Location > Location sources > Camera settings and toggle Save location to the Off position.
7. Download All Your Photos
Google provides a relatively easy way to download all your photos at once by using Google Takeout. Google Takeout is also a great way to export or download all Gmail emails.
8. See the Original While You’re Editing
When editing a photo in the app, tap and hold down the pic to see the original. In a browser, click and hold the edited image to see the original.
9. Add Old Photos with PhotoScan
Using Google’s PhotoScan app (for Android and iPhone) to scan old photos is better than just taking a picture of a photo. It scans the old picture (or document) from several angles to reduce glare. Preserve those old photos for posterity!
10. Not Just for Android Phones
iPhone users can enjoy Google Photos, too. Download the Google Photos iOS app.
11. Cast Your Screen to Your TV
If you are using Google Photos on an Android device, you can share photos with everyone in the room by casting your screen to another device, like a television.
12. Save Space
Deleting photos isn’t the only way to save space in your Google Photos account. Compress your high-quality photos, so you free up space and don’t run up against the dreaded photo storage limit. In the Google Photos app, select your profile picture in the top right corner.
Then select Photos settings > Backup & sync > Upload size. That’s where you can opt to back up your photos at their original quality or slightly reduce the quality of the uploaded photos.
13. Share Images and Albums
There are many sharing options inside Google photos. Share individual images or whole albums with specific people, or create a link that anyone can use. If you add more pictures to a shared album, people you’ve shared the album with (or who have the link) will be able to see the new photos you add to the album.
When you share a photo from within the Google Photos app, you’ll see options to share via Google Photos or other messaging and social media apps.
14. Create Photo Books
While digital photos are great, it’s also nice to have something physical you can hold. On the desktop site, select the Print store to assemble your best photos into a photo book. In the app, select the More icon (three dots) and choose Order photo. You can create a photo book, order a photo print, or create a canvas print of the photo. These make excellent gifts, especially for parents and grandparents.
15. Use Locked Folders for Better Security
To move a photo on your device to a locked folder, select the More icon and Move to Locked Folder. Moving an image to a locked folder means that it’ll be hidden from other areas of Google Photos and other apps on your device. The photo won’t be backed up or shared, and it will be deleted if you uninstall Google Photos.
16. Enable Back Up & Sync
As soon as you install the Google Photos mobile app on your phone, you’ll be prompted to enable the Back Up & Sync. This feature automatically saves new photos and videos when you have internet access, which is great if you don’t have much device storage space. Then you’ll always be able to find your images and videos in your Google Photos library. You can set it to only backup and sync when you’re connected to wi-fi.
If you’re an iPhone user and already back your photos up to the iCloud, Google’s Back Up & Sync feature is a great second line of defense. In the app, tap your profile photo and then select Photos settings > Back up & sync.
