On the skull cap, however, the post-processing was almost impeccable for an AI tool that takes just about a second or two to remove shadows. However, all that magic mostly happened on the left side of my face, while the right half still had strong shadows in some areas.

When I applied the “Remove Shadows” feature, it did an impressive job at removing the shadow and keeping the skin tone uniform with the rest of the well-lit portions of my face. I captured the original version (right) under a tree against the backdrop of a bright sun, so, naturally, there was a strong shadow on my face. But don’t focus too much on plural “shadows” here, as the AI-powered tool tends to focus on only one object or side of the image to do its job. Nadeem Sarwar / Digital TrendsĪmong all the features that the Galaxy Enhance-X app has to offer, the Remove Shadows feature works the best. Remove pesky shadows The edited version (left) has the shadows removed, but the skin texture has also been smoothened. It is only after taking a deep look that you will notice the sharper lines, slightly more texture in the hair, deeper colors, and a more pronounced look for the glasses in the edited version. In the selfie samples above, the unblurring feature didn’t offer a day-night improvement. Edges of the neck portion, T-shirt, and ear are clearer in the edited version (left) compared to the fuzzy original shot. The final result, however, varies depending on the lighting condition. In the above comparison shot, you can see that the edges of my arm are sharper, my digits are more clearly defined, and ink on the upper portion of my hand also offers better contrast and a more even finish. In the edited version (right), the edges are sharper, and the ink is more pleasing. It’s quick, convenient, and gets the job done in a majority of the cases. The best part is that I didn’t have to highlight the areas that I wanted to get fixed. The Fix Blur did a neat job of restoring those surface details. The original photos glossed over all the surface details, almost blurring out all the holes and bumps on the fruit. Take, for example, these photos of the giant lemon in my hand. We often click photos where the sensor - or the algorithms - erratically focus on the background elements instead of the object in the foreground that is closest to the sensor. But this feature does more than just that. The app fixes objects that the camera sensor tried to focus on and not the rest of the objects in the frame. The Galaxy Enhance-X app features a new Fix Blur feature that tries to sharpen the object edges that otherwise look blurry. Unless you manually adjust the shutter speed and have a really good camera sensor and chip inside the phone, there are almost certainly blur artifacts in photos if you are even walking slowly during the capture. One of the most annoying issues that we face with smartphone cameras is motion blur. Fix unwanted blur After using the unblur feature, the edited version (left) shows a lot more surface texture compared to the untouched shot. The best route here is to use the resolution upscale feature that can boost the resolution by as much as 4x and can further be refined using other editing tools in the app. Photos that have visible specks of damage or heavy color fade simply won’t go through the restoration pipeline. However, the biggest drawback is that the app decides whether it will restore an old photograph.
For example, in the image above, the eye’s iris has been oversharpened with signature AI artifacts, and the original hazel color was transformed into a silvery-gray shade. The app also does a decent job of restoring the original colors, but in doing so, the AI can sometimes go overboard. With a single tap on the restore button, the app created a new version that sharpened the facial features and contours, enhanced the color contrast, and improved the overall profile. I photographed an old picture that had lost a lot of sharpness over the past 10 years. Samsung says the app relies on AI to do its job, but compared to the likes of VanceAI, Remini, and Fodor, the results are not consistent. Then something annoying happenedĪ few weeks ago, Samsung rolled out an updated version of the Galaxy Enhance-X app, which introduced an image restore tool. I did a camera test with two $1,800 phones.
