Enhance photo quality

The Enhance photo quality mode (Enhance) delivers a one-click upgrade of a photo: cleaner, sharper, and more pleasing, without designing a complex edit.

It now also covers recovery of slightly or moderately blurry and/or motion-blurred photos, as long as the content is still readable.

This is the right workflow when you want to:

• recover slightly soft, noisy, or lightly motion-blurred photos,
• increase perceived quality,
• make the image more editorial,
• without changing content and composition.

In this mode the main guide is the preset (Soft/Balanced/Aggressive/Aggressive+++). The prompt is usually optional or very short.

Use Enhance photo quality if:

• the photo is slightly or moderately blurry, soft, or affected by limited motion blur;
• there is noise, digital grain, compression;
• you want a cleaner, “good camera” look;
• you want a better render without changing the scene.

• If you need to change specific elements (remove objects, change a detail): use Single image edit.
• If you want to change only the background/lighting: use Background edit (fast).
• If you need to restore scratches/tears or colorize historic photos: use Restore photo.
• If you want to create an image from scratch: use Generate image from text.

• 1 image.
• A preset (required).
• (Optional) Extra options (sensitive content / cosplay) when needed.

This mode also works when you want to recover shots with:

• mild focus blur;
• small handheld shake;
• limited motion blur on a face, product, or subject that is still recognizable.

It works best if:

• the main subject is still readable;
• eyes, edges, text, or key details are not completely smeared;
• you start from a file that is not heavily compressed.

Recommended strategy:

• Soft: the photo is already decent and only a bit soft.
• Balanced: light or medium blur/motion blur; this is the most common case.
• Aggressive: stronger recovery, with a higher risk of reinterpretation.
• Aggressive+++: use it only if you accept a more reconstructed, reshoot-like output.

If the photo also has historical damage, folds, tears, or missing areas, switch to Restore photo.

When you start processing, the app sends to the model:

• the image;
• an internal prompt based on the selected preset (to guide the type of enhancement or blur/motion-blur recovery);
• any enabled options (e.g. sensitive content mode, cosplay context).

The model returns a new image. In general:

• Soft/Balanced aim to keep the scene faithful;
• Aggressive/Aggressive+++ can change the rendering much more (up to a “reshoot”).
• In blur/motion-blur cases, the model tries to rebuild perceived sharpness and readability, not always the original pixel-level detail.

In this mode you typically see:

• Mode: workflow selector (choose Enhance photo quality).
• Image upload: upload the photo.
• Enhancement level: Soft/Balanced/Aggressive/Aggressive+++.
• Options (if present):
  • Explicit content mode (Pro model): tries to keep output compliant when the image may trigger blocks.
  • Original cosplay photo (Pro model): adds context to reduce false copyright positives.
  • Adapt to (Aggressive+++ only): guides the reshoot to a use case (e.g. LinkedIn, corporate…).
• Enhance: start processing.
• Generate variants (2-4): quick alternatives.
• Use as input: to iterate and refine further.

The most cautious and faithful preset. Goal:

• light cleanup,
• detail recovery without a fake look,
• natural rendering.

When to use it:

• photo already good but needs refinement;
• portrait where you want to preserve identity and texture;
• product with small quality defects.

A more noticeable upgrade, still realistic. Goal:

• more cleanup and overall polish,
• removal of small disturbances,
• a more modern look without drastic changes,
• solid recovery of mild blur or motion blur.

When to use it:

• mediocre photos (smartphone, difficult light);
• images with visible noise/compression;
• photos with mild blur or motion blur that are still recoverable;
• when Soft is not enough.

A creative rework: can change light, styling, and atmosphere. Goal:

• transform the photo into something more “set-like”,
• strong cleanup,
• more cinematic/editorial rendering.

When to use it:

• when you want a major aesthetic jump;
• when the starting photo is weak and you want a “new” output.

Note: Aggressive increases the risk of unwanted changes (especially fine details).

The strongest preset: a true “reshoot”. Goal:

• recreate the shot as if it were retaken from scratch,
• with control via Adapt to (or custom input).

When to use it:

• professional profiles (headshots);
• marketing content;
• when you want an output that looks like a premium shoot.

Note: if you choose Custom, you must enter a description (e.g. look/role/style).

1. Select Enhance photo quality.
2. Upload the image.
3. Choose the preset:
   • Soft -> start here if unsure;
   • Balanced -> if Soft is too light, or if you need to recover mild blur/motion blur;
   • Aggressive/Aggressive+++ -> if you want a big aesthetic jump.
4. (Optional) Enable “Pro” options if the photo requires it.
5. Generate the result.
6. If needed, generate 2-4 variants and pick the best.
7. Use Use as input for a second cleanup/refinement pass, especially when recovering blur or motion blur.

Use them when:

• you want the best interpretation (often changes micro details, skin rendering, contrast);
• you want fewer artifacts by picking the cleanest variant;
• you want alternatives without changing the preset.

Perfect when:

• you already have a good result and want it “cleaner”;
• you want two passes (e.g. Balanced -> Soft to stabilize, or Soft -> Balanced to push).

Simple strategy:

1. do one pass with the preset that gives you the look,
2. then “Use as input” and do a more conservative pass to refine.

• The mode tries to preserve content, but Aggressive/Aggressive+++ can introduce more creative changes.
• You do not use markup in this mode: if you need to control a precise area, switch to Single image edit.
• The image ratio usually stays the original (this is an upgrade, not a recomposition).
• Blur/motion-blur recovery is not magic: if a face, text block, or product is fully smeared or severely out of focus, results may stay limited or become more reconstructed than faithful.

• Use Soft or Balanced.
• Avoid Aggressive/Aggressive+++ for portraits if you need strict identity.
• If you need a specific detail fix, switch to Single image edit.

• Ask (if you use a prompt) for “natural texture, no aggressive smoothing”.
• Try Soft after a stronger pass (Use as input -> Soft).

• Try Balanced.
• Generate 2-4 variants: often one is cleaner.
• If the image is heavily compressed, start from a better source.

• Move from Soft to Balanced.
• If the subject is still readable, try Aggressive.
• Generate 2-4 variants: one often reconstructs details better.
• If Aggressive+++ invents too much, go back to Aggressive or Balanced.
• Run a second pass with Use as input only after you find a convincing variant.

• Drop the preset (Aggressive -> Balanced -> Soft).
• Reduce extra requests (if you write a prompt, keep it minimal).

In Enhance photo quality, Batch mode is available to process multiple images with the same settings.

• Drive auto-save enabled.
• Up to 20 images per batch.

1. choose preset/options;
2. enable Batch mode;
3. upload images;
4. start batch;
5. review outputs in Gallery/Drive.

• variations are disabled during batch;
• outputs are saved to Drive;
• for local touch-ups, finish in Single image edit.
