    How to: Turn On or Off Auto Enhance in Photos app in Windows 10

    Information The Photos app included in Windows 10 is a universal app that allows you to enjoy, organize, edit, and share all your digital memories. It brings together photos and videos from all your devices, enhances them to make great photos even better, and organizes them into beautiful albums for you.

    The Photos app automatically enhances your photos by default with improvements to lighting, color, contrast, red-eye, straightening, and more. This is all supposed to make your photos look better, but you may not agree and want to turn off this feature.

    Automatic enhancements are not saved in the file, and only appear on photos that can be improved. Turning this off removes all automatic enhancements.

    This tutorial will show you how to turn on or off automatic enhancements of photos in the Photos app for your account in Windows 10.

    Auto-Enhance Photos

    Yes, I have used Windows 10 since it became available.

    I updated it this morning and restarted my computer. The Auto-Enhance feature still doesn't appear in the Photos app, not even in Settings.

    I haven't made any changes to my computer.

    There used to be an Auto-Enhance icon in the Photos toolbar when I called up a photo. All photos would be automatically enhanced and I would have to click on the icon if I wanted to un-enhance them.

    Now, in order to enhance them, I have to click on Edit and enhance each photo manually.

    The previous app was much better and easier to use.

    I have read all the articles I could find about the Photos app. The Microsoft website hasn't been updated if you have removed the Settings option to turn Auto Enhance Off/On. It isn't there any more.

    Please help me fix this.

    Judith

  5. 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.

    Auto-Enhancing preview in the Photos app

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    The option to turn off Automatically enhance my photos when they can be improved has been removed from the latest version of Photos app since photo enhancement are automatically set to disable. However if you are
    using older version of Photo app you can try the method below to make the changes.



    Method: Disable automatic enhancement.



    1. Open
    Photo app.

    2. Click on
    Settings.

    3. Under the
    Viewing and editing tab.

    4. Turn off
    Automatically enhance my photos when they can be improved.



    If you are on new build of Photos app and you want this feature, I understand there may be other users who also want this feature to be implemented. I suggest you to

    send you valuable feedback to Microsoft through Feedback Hub app
    , this will help you improve Windows for you.



    Hope it helps.
