  1. How do I disable the Auto Enhance feature in the Photos app?


    I like doing photography, and how I take photos e.g. light, color, and white balance natively in the camera is very deliberate. And once I import them onto my computer, I want to blow them up to see and compare them as they are. But, I can't do that, because the Photos app immediately and unrestrainably "enhances" them when I open the photos up in the app. I've consulted google on how to disable this feature, but I don't appear to have the option to turn it off where it's supposed to be as shown below.


    I don't know if the option was moved or what, but I need to know how to turn it off, please! Thank you :

  2. 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.

    How do I disable the Auto Enhance feature in the Photos app?

    Photo App Auto Enhance

    I would like to disable the auto enhance feature of the photos app. I understand in a previous version, one was able to turn it off in the photos application settings under viewing and editing but now the option is no more. A normal unedited version of
    the photo will show for a few seconds and then be automatically edited in the app which is not something I want. I would like to view my photos as they were taken and make edits myself. Please show how to take this off, thank you.
