Can be accessed from under the “Adjust” feature within Google Photos, the new editing tool “Ultra HDR” appears to be a toned-up version of the existing “HDR effect” option.
As far as the functionality of this feature is concerned, there's no word either from Google or from any other hawk-eyed tear-down conductors. However, the feature is expected to let users manage the brightness of Ultra HDR images at a pixel level. Only time will bring to light when Google plans on enabling the feature.
If the prediction of the feature's functionalities resembling that of the HDR effect is believed, then the upcoming Ultra HDR editing feature on Google Photos might enhance the dynamic range of photos.
Given that, this job would be done by merging multiple exposures to create a more balanced image with brighter highlights and darker shadows to make details more visible.
