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.

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.

If you use the function while the charger is connected to the Galaxy smartphone, it will provide power to play the product and charge the battery.

This feature minimizes battery charging and allows most of the power to be supplied only to the running device in order to reduce the impact on the other products such as the battery, due to simultaneous game execution and battery charging app operations while gaming.

How to use it?

You can easily enable and use the Samsung USB Power Delivery Charging Pause feature, firstly you have to install and run the fame after connecting the PD charger.

• This function is enabled only when a PD charger is connected. Check whether a normal charger is connected or not, and connect the PD charger.

Activated feature but it is not working

This feature directly supplies power to the devices without charging the battery, so the two conditions must be met at the same time. They are:

• The game is on: Even if the game is running, if the screen is off or actions other than the game are in progress, such as switching to another screen, the function does not work.
• When battery charge exceeds 20% with PD charger connected (25W or higher, PPS function support is required). In addition, the battery may charge if a normal charger other than a PD charger is connected, or if the battery charge is below 20%, which is normal.
