Google has updated its photos application to allow users to improve their captures making them ultra HDR format after made. The photos, in version 7.24.0.747539053, has entered a new option in the edition of the photographs that allows to improve the contrast and power the color so that the result is the best possible.
This novelty is found in the information of each photograph, not directly in the editing tools. Specifically, it appears in the options broken down as ‘effects’, with the name of ‘improve’. As explained in Android Authority, it replaces the effect known as ‘HDR’ and what it does is convert the image already captured into ultra HDR, as indicated in the modified copy with the new effect, unless the image has already been taken with this format.
The copy in Ultra HDR occupies less space than the original, since, as they explain in the aforementioned medium, the system uses a smaller gain map that render the images so that they appear with more brightness and color. Ultra HDR is a photography format developed by Google that offers a more detail contrast in catches are dark and luminous areas. It aims to offer a result more similar to what the human eye is able to perceive, which is not achieved with the standard dynamic range format (SDR).
