Google is reportedly developing a new editing feature for its Gemini app that will let users modify images created by Nano Banana's AI generator. According to Android Authority, code discovered by AssembleDebug suggests users will soon see a pencil icon on generated images, allowing them to mark up changes directly on the image before submitting edit requests.

This feature appears to build on earlier rumors about an annotation tool for Gemini. The new system would let users sketch or type directly on images, highlighting specific areas that need changes. Users could then add text descriptions like "change this to green," combining visual and written instructions to help the AI understand exactly what modifications are needed.

The editing tool seems fairly developed, though Google hasn't announced when it might roll out. This approach addresses a common frustration with AI image generation - having to describe changes verbally without being able to point to specific areas. By letting users mark up images directly, Google could make the editing process more intuitive and reduce miscommunication between users and the AI.
