Windows 10: HOW DO I DISABLE AUTO-ENHANCE IN PHOTOS / WINDOWS 11

Am I missing something, or is editing the registry really the only way to take this unwanted feature out of commision?As a professional photographer working for the biggest sports brand on the planet, let me complain LOUDLY. This is terrible design. Why would you even add this feature? Not only does it waste valuable processing time, but it completely destroys the photo. The photo enhancement is absolute garbage. Whoever coded that feature is clearly a coder and not a photographer. Every digital camera I shoot with today from the low end, to the very top looks better without enhancement.

Disable auto enhance images on windows 11 photos app

I would like to disable the auto enhance my photos option on the photos app in windows 11. For some reason there doesnt seem to be an option to disable it on the windows 11 home version. This was an option in the settings on my windows 10 pc. I just want to use the app to preview my raw photo files from my camera- it really frustrates me that it auto enhances the photos.

Anyone know how to do this?

 

Disable auto enhance in Photos app

Hi,

I'm having some problems with the Photos app as it automatically enhances my RAW photos, which is kind of ridiculous without actually giving me the option to disable it or not. I've searched online and people suggest to simply disable ''Automatically enhance
your photos'' in the settings under Viewing and editing, but I do not have that option, as you can see in the screenshot I've attached below. Is there a fix for this?

Thanks

Edit: I might all add that once opening the RAW photos in the Photos app and after they are auto enhanced they also appear auto enhanced in other image viewing apps, which is completely ludicrous. Only app that displays the images correctly is QuickLook
preview.
