New Real Tone filters are going to be introduced this week. The new filters can be accessed in the image editor on the web. The Real Tone filters were designed by professional image makers to represent various skin tones in photos.
The filters were designed by professional image makers to work well across skin tones so you can choose the one that reflects your style.

The Real Tone filters include Playa,Honey, andIsla.
Real Tone was introduced for the Pixel phones last year in order to make faces with all skin tones show up in photos. At its I/O developer conference earlier this month, the company announced that it was incorporating a 10-shade skin tone scale in several of its products over the coming months and that it planned to introduce a new set of Real Tone filters using the scale for Google Photos. The Real Tone filters are designed to work well across skin tones and are evaluated using the MST Scale.
The Monk Skin Tone (MST) scale is designed to be more inclusive of different skin tones. Harvard professor and sociologist Dr. Ellis Monk collaborated with it.
The new approach and scale will help it evaluate whether a feature or product works well across a range of skin tones. The company will continue to work with Dr. Monk to evaluate the MST Scale. The MST Scale is an important next step in improving skin tone inclusivity in technology and will help it make progress in its commitment to image equity and improving representation.
