Google Photos has a number of image filtering features; this post focuses on a new option that I particularly like in the “Remix” category. The different filters that are available in Remix are not named, the one featured here is the fourth that appears when I open Remix on an iPhone. It transforms photos into images that resemble impressionist paintings.

The remix adds interesting contrast in the snow and sky in this photo of a ski run.
In this photo taken from the Mineral Fork Trail near Salt Lake City, the remix brings out the stratigraphy of the exposed rock.
Another example of the Remix bringing out stratigraphy, here in the North Dakota badlands.
The Remix makes this photo of flowering Japanese cherry trees more striking.
The Yellowstone River in Montana. The Remix enhances reality.
An island in a small Minnesota lake.
This unexceptional photo was Remixed into an image suitable for a Christmas card.
