Autoenhance regularly releases improvement to it's AI as a new version - giving you the flexibility and control to choose the cadence that suits your needs
Last updated
By default your images will be enhanced with the latest version of the AI. You can manually specify to only get the latest bug fixes using the floating version number i.e 4.x to the ai_version field
In this example you would only get the latest bug fix for version 4 of the AI.
Note AI versions below version 4.0 do not support floating version numbers
If you want to ensure the AI version never changes before you've had a chance to test out the new one, then you can use fixed versions. Simply specify the version number in full.
Here is a list of our available AI versions and the changes contained:
4.6
19th December 2024
Introduced our in-house AI HDR Harmoniser. Our pipeline now delivers vibrant shadows and detailed highlights for all shots. Whether you shoot multi-bracket or single-bracket, 4.6 packs much more detail, colour and dynamic range for your images.
Revamped our AI pipeline, drastically reducing halos, while increasing colour retention, brightness and image sharpness.
Improved our White Balance pipeline, with more consistent results in mixed-illuminant scenes, and on those where White Balance was very off in the input.
Increased Window Pull performance, with better and more precise blending.
Improved perspective correction strength, allowing for more capability on external scenes as well as reduced cropping post perspective correction.
Introduction of metadata lens corrections. Now any camera with lens correction information in metadata (such as Sony) can be corrected.
Changes to Autoprivacy. To reduce false positives we are temporarily disabling auto privacy on photo frames (with people) and for sale signs. These will be returning in a future version. License plates and human faces auto privacy are still included.
Minor bug fixes and improvements
4.5
13th November 2024
Implemented our new, state-of-the-art AI White Balance system, delivering the best and most consistent enhancements to date.
Introduced our first Intelligent Sky Composition pipeline. Sky replacements are now enhanced to match the style and look of the image's foreground.
Improved shadow and highlight recovery, with better lighting and colour corrections.
Upgraded enhancement styles with better detail preservation techniques. Images are now sharper and have higher clarity.
Enhanced the look of window pulls.
Updated editing styles to deliver more realistic image enhancements.
Added new lenses for lens correction.
Minor bug fixes and improvements.
4.4
20th September 2024
Improved processing of RAW files including colours, better shadow and highlight recovery.
Resolved cases where a stitch line for 360s could be visible on white surfaces.
All images are marked as 300 DPI to ensure they are printed at correct size.
Improved cases where white balance was too strong and would desaturate the image.
New window pull pipeline with increased precision and fewer false positives.
Lens correction now supports DSLR cameras which automatically apply lens correction without reporting it in the metadata.
Updated Auto Privacy model with fewer false positives.
4.3
29th July 2024
Improved upscaling for a more sharper and more clear image
A more consistent and more neutral white balance
Improvements to the accuracy of perspective correction
Fixes cases where HEIC files wouldn't rotate correctly
Perspective correction is no longer applied to drone shots
4.2
1st July 2024
Improved RAW decoding with improvements to contrast, exposure and saturation, as well as to white balance in cases where camera settings weren't set correctly
New Auto Privacy 1.1 with improved accuracy and additional support for extra types of sensitive objects
Improved processing speed
Added support to process images up to 12K in resolution
Reduced brightness boost strength to achieve a more balanced look when using stronger settings
Fixed cases where single RAW images would contain ghosting
Orientation of RAW images is now corrected on supported cameras
4.1
28th May 2024
We now use a single middle exposure for the original to more accurately reflect whats been enhanced
The effect of brightness boost has been reduced to reduce destruction of images when using high settings on already bright images
Fixes images not being kept in original size for perspective correction
Fixes cases where lens correction could applied twice with recent Sony Cameras
Fixes cases where lens correction could applied twice with images exported from Lightroom or Photoshop
Fixes cases where perspective correction wouldn’t be applied to images from Apple devices
Increases the number of skies available for sky replacement
Fixes cases where brackets generated from a single RAW file would be misaligned
Fixes cases where perspective correction would be applied to 360s
Enables contrast boost by default to ensure there is a good level of default by default, this can be disabled by providing your own contrast_boost setting
Adds support for perspective correction for portrait images
4.0
5th April 2024
New HDR algorithm with improved dynamic range
Introduction of super resolution upscaling to increase fine detail in the image
Introduction of Window Pulling that ensures the content of your windows can always be seen
Improved accuracy of Auto Privacy blurring
New enhancement architecture with "target editing" support which can intelligently detect which areas need enhancing, improving loss of details caused by previous AI versions pushing brightness too high in already over-exposed areas
Better extraction of detail from over-exposed brackets Improved white balance for photos taken by incorrectly calibrated cameras.
Expansion of editing styles to "warm", "neutral" and "authentic" for more customisation of AI output
We will be ending support for version 3 from December 2024 and it will eventually be withdrawn. If you are using version 3, please start making plans to transition to version 4.
3.5
1st May 2024
Fixes an issues where perspective correction would not be applied to JPEG images from Apple devices.
We've increased the variation of skies in our sky replacements, to make sure each sky for every image will be unique.
3.4
30th April 2024
Fixes an issues where 360s would occasionally have a visible stitch line.
Fixes an issue where enabling perspective correction would cause AI to override lens correction being disabled.
We now only run perspective correction if lens correction is enabled.
We now progressively enhance, if any errors are encountered we will skip that step so that we always give you some kind of image.
Images which already have lens correction applied in Photoshop or Lightroom are now correctly detected.
3.2
11th March 2024
Improved lens correction for the Canon USM 4/ lenses
Improved perspective correction algorithm which can now do more accurate corrections in difficult cases.
3.0
1st January 2023
New enhancement and HDR decoding architecture which fixes hallucinations areas of darkness in images
Introduction of Auto Privacy feature
1.1
