Through the new update, the Korean tech giant has improved the Tint menu in the Photo / Video Editor for a more immersive editing experience.

Lighting is one of the important factors in photography. With the new update, the company would like to introduce the Editors’ Tint Menu so that you can fine-tune the effect of these lights.

Samsung offers three different functions for adjusting the lighting, which look similar but are different. Those three functions are Light Balance, Definition, and Clearness. Let’s see these three functions of Samsung One UI 5.1 Photo Editor.

Improved Light Balance 

Light Balance literally means the balance of light. This function adjusts the balance of brightness to the mid-tones in the image. This feature ensures visibility and balances brightness by making very dark areas slightly brighter and very bright areas slightly darker.

When we increase the (+) value, the light balance effect is adjusted to make the overall image brighter and more clear, while we increase the (-) value, the overall image becomes darker such as casting a shadow.

The Light Balance function is currently only available for photo editing and will be soon supported by Video Editor.

Sharpness Improvement

Sharpness is a feature that edits blurry photos to make them sharper. Although it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with light, it does involve the power of light.

Brighten the brightest point of the photo that bringing out the texture, which has the effect of sharpening the photo. The sharpness enhancement applies to photo editing and video editing alike.

New Clarity Feature

Clarity is a new feature of the latest One UI 5.1 update. Alike the Sharpness function, the Clarity function applies the effect of lighting rather than changing it. This function makes bright areas of an image slightly brighter and dark areas slightly darker to enhance the texture or three-dimensional effect of the image. In One UI 5.1, Clarity is only available for photo editing, but the company is planning to release this feature to the Video Editor.

According to the info, Samsung Galaxy S20, Galaxy A52 5G, and Galaxy A71 devices will get the new One UI 5.1 update on March 21 in Canada. In addition, the firmware will also bring the latest March 2023 security patch to keep the system software secure against various threats.

One UI 5.1 is going to be the last major software update for the Galaxy S20 series and Galaxy A71. These four devices launched with Android 10-based One UI 2.1 out of the box and were eligible for three generations of major OS upgrades.

On the other hand, the Galaxy A52 5G was launched in 2021, running the Android 11-based One UI 3.1 pre-installed. This phone is also supported for up to three Android upgrades, and the support is scheduled to end with the release of Android 14 this year.

Let’s talk about the Galaxy HDR technology implemented in the Galaxy S23 series. But do you know what HDR is? If you do not know, then let us tell you that HDR (High Dynamic Range) is a technology that expresses bright and dark areas as widely as possible.

Follow our socials → Google News, Telegram, Twitter, Facebook

When we take pictures or videos, we get images with suitable brightness through AE (Auto Exposure) operation which adjusts the exposure. However, when shooting indoors in backlit conditions or while looking out a window, bright and dark scenes coexist, resulting in images that are bright or dark depending on the scene.

Samsung Galaxy S23 HDR Technology

In Samsung Galaxy S23, the company uses the MF-HDR (Multiple Frame HDR) compositing method. It is a technology that takes pictures of different brightness by continuously adjusting the exposure, and then extracts the video information of the bright part from the bright picture and the video information of the dark part from the dark picture, and combines them into one picture.

Since the image is created by selectively combining bright and dark object information, an image with optimal brightness is created. However, since MF-HDR captures multiple consecutive scenes, there is a lag between scenes.

It means that a moving subject is prone to ghosting when the motion vector and image overlap, so it is recommended to use it in a shooting mode where the subject moves little.

On the flip side,  in motion picture mode, SF-HDR (single-frame HDR) technology is applied, and image sensor IDCG (Intrascene Dual Coverage Gain) technology is used to capture and synthesize bright and dark scenes simultaneously.

Image sensor iDCG technology generates electrons, that is, electrical signals, according to the brightness when light is incident on the photodiode of the image sensor, and the image sensor’s internal circuit (ADC: Analog Digital Converter and Logic Circuit) is used to convert the image sensor does for voltage. It goes through a process of change.

During the conversion of light into an electrical signal, electrons are placed in a cup called FD (Floating Diffusion) to measure the number of electrons. Determine a specific ratio based on the capacity of the cup and convert it to a voltage signal.

In the case of existing sensors, the capacity of the cup is limited to one, so it is difficult to take great pictures in environments with frequent changes in light and dark.

If the cup potential is large in a dark environment, it will be difficult to clearly express the dark part because the small light information cannot be converted into a sufficient voltage. It’s hard to articulate the bright parts well.

iDCG technology converts the existing one cup into two cups of different capacities, selects the smaller cup in a dark environment, selects the larger cup in a bright environment, measures twice, synthesizes in real-time, and HDR improves the performance of the image.

In the case of SF-HDR using 1 exposure, it is better for shooting moving images than MF-HDR using 2 exposures because of the sharpness of the subject’s movement. In addition to this, the company is preparing to bring HDR performance closer to the human eye through camera image sensors and ISP technology.

This new screenshot feature appears as an addition to your brand-new Samsung One UI 5.1. Once installed, you can find it in the quick settings.

But first, you need to do some customizations. Navigate to your phone’s home screen and drop down the quick settings. Next, you need to tap on the three dots in the top right corner of the screen.

Select “Edit buttons”. From the available buttons area, tap and hold on to the “Take screenshot” button. Do remember that you need to touch and hold (simultaneously) and drag the button among the quick settings icons.

You can reposition the button at the same time. Once positioned, you will have to touch “Done” in the bottom right corner to finalize the changes. There you have it, your new screenshot button in easy to access place.

Take a quick Screenshot:

For me, the screenshot is a time-saving and easy-to-send information feature. And I think a lot of users would agree with me on this subject.

Therefore, the entry of a quick screenshot button inside the quick setting made things easy. Also, it has reduced some burden on those physical side keys that I need to press to get the job done.

Yes, the palm swipe to capture is there but I have a hard time using that feature.

Now, all I need to do is to open the quick settings panel and touch on the added ‘Take screenshot’ button and it will capture the screen for me.

This is what I’ve looking for and now, as a proud owner of the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, One UI 5.1 made the screenshot process so easy that I only need to fetch out S Pen when there’s a need to mark something special.

Otherwise, you are ready to take a screenshot, anytime anywhere.
