Google+ Will Make Your Videos Look Better

ErnieKey writes: A new Google+ feature for uploaded videos has been released that automatically enhances lighting, color, and stability. Soon, it'll also enhance speech in videos. "As more and more people now also take videos with their smartphones, it makes sense for Google to bring some of the technologies it has developed for photos (and YouTube) to these private videos, as well. Google has long offered a similar feature for YouTube users, so there is likely some overlap between the two systems here. While YouTube offers the option to 'auto-fix' videos, though, it doesn't automatically prompt its users to do this for them. YouTube also offers a number of manual tools for changing contrast, saturation and color temperature that Google+ doesn’t currently offer."

Offer it as a feature but don't goddamn adjust it automagically FOR me. I might want to push something that's "got a problem" for artistic or statement reasons, Google.
Seriously, Google...when did "Do no evil" go by the wayside? You've had the motto. At some point you've kept to it. At some point later you threw that out the window and it's SHOWING...BADLY.
