TL;DR

• Google Gemini appears to be developing image markup tools.
• Highlighting part of an image allows you to direct Gemini’s attention to it for analysis.
• It also supports Nano Banana highlights, letting you work on just one section of a picture.

Give Gemini an image, and it’s already quite good at figuring out what it’s looking at. But what if you don’t want it looking at everything in the image, or at least not looking at it all equally? If you can imagine how it might be useful to direct Gemini’s attention to one particular part of a picture, we’ve got just the tool for you, as we spot Google’s work to add markup tools to Gemini image input.
