AI picture refining is ruining photos.

[TaliaS]

Samsung! Please do something about this. Pictures are being totally ruined. What's the use of a 200MP camera when all that results is these low quality, over refined, ruined pictures. When will this stop? 

Has anyone by any chance found a solution to this issue?

Hi

I don't know if it is too late to reply.I've found a workaround of this problem.

After you have finished taking photos in 200MP & 50MP camera,DO NOT OPEN the photos either from camera or from Gallery.Simply minimize the camera & go to google photos & wait for the photo to arrive there & then open.You will get the exact quality the 200 & 50MP camera is supposed to give you.Later,you can reopen the photos in Gallery once you open it using google photo.In addition,you may turn off "super HDR" in gallery settings...

Thank me later🙂

This totally cleared my problem.

I'll give you a better and safer way.  Disable Samsung Gallery picture and video  permissions. This will stop all the post processing. But this will not alow you to use the app. The hack for it is to give gallery limited permission to only one photo you don't care about.  This will allow you to use it to edit photos but will still keep the post processing off to all other photos and videos. 👋

This is working but a little bit annoying! If i allow limited access by selecting only one photo,after that, whenever i click a new photo & try to open gallery,each & every time it is asking me to allow permission which i have to eventually give by going to settings & giving limited access to that not necessary photo only & then only,gallery is opening! It is pretty time consuming! Does it have any other shortcut ?

Unfortunately there is no fix to allowing limited permission for a photo.  But if you don't close the app it stays and you can access Gallery from camera app. I mostly keep my Gallery and camera app open anyway.  I really like the editing from Gallery but this post processing just ruined my sunset photos with unreasonable saturation. 

Hopefully upcoming August update will fix this issue.  It's a deal breaker for me as it seems Samsung thought it's OK  to apply post processing to all the photos in a Gallery.  It even aplied it to the photos from my previous device which I  copied and ruined them.  Basically edited photos without my consent. This can't be legit.

Exactly! I bought this phone with my hard earned money just to get the camera benefits & i am pretty upset!

By d way,is there any news to fix this in Upcoming August update as you mentioned ??

Thanks in advance....

The roomers is that this update brings allot of camera improvements.  Hopefully this issue gets fixed.  But it's not even camera that is at fault here.  Its the Gallery app doing post processing.  All they need to do is allow us to turn this feature off.

Hopefully by now,samsung should be aware about this gallery bug! Lets see ......

Still does it even if you take off super hdr

Yep, no point to the hi-res photos, when they are ruined by the post processing. 12mp photos end up looking way better than the 50mp or 100mp. Additionally, I like to take many takes and chose the best one later. I cannot express how much power the post processing drains, the phone heats up scalding hot working on this stupid feature in the background for literal hours! Waste of money. Samsung, please fix this!
