The Galaxy S25 series has introduced several new RAW image editing options that enhance the photography experience for users. These updates are part of the One UI 7.0, which builds upon the previous version of Expert RAW introduced with One UI 6.1.1.
New Editing Features
1. Expanded Editing Menus: The updated RAW image editor now includes six new editing menus:
- Exposure: Adjusts the overall brightness of the image.
- Highlights: Modifies brightness specifically in the bright areas.
- Shadows: Changes brightness in darker regions.
- Contrast: Controls the difference between light and dark areas.
- Saturation: Alters the intensity of colors across the image.
- Vigor: Adjusts saturation while preventing excessive enhancement that may look unrealistic.
- Color Temperature: Allows users to make images cooler or warmer in tone.
- Noise Removal: Reduces graininess in images, improving clarity[1][2][3].
2. Histogram Feature: A new histogram has been added to help users visualize changes in brightness as they edit, making it easier to achieve a balanced look[1][2].
3. Virtual Aperture Control: This feature allows users to simulate depth-of-field effects by adjusting the aperture settings between F1.4 and F16, which can help in creating a more DSLR-like experience in mobile photography[5][8].
4. Audio Eraser Tool: While not directly related to RAW image editing, this tool allows users to remove unwanted sounds from videos, enhancing overall multimedia editing capabilities[1][5].
These enhancements position the Galaxy S25 series as a strong contender for photography enthusiasts, providing advanced tools that were previously limited to professional software. The improved RAW image editor is currently exclusive to the Galaxy S25 models but may be available on older devices through future updates[2][3].
