Editor – Updated Color Tone Menu

In previous updates, we modified the existing AI Eraser, My Sticker, and GIF Editor. In this update, we've enhanced the tone menu in the Photo and Video Editor to give you a more minute editing experience.

Light is one of the most important factors in photography, and we'd like to introduce the color tone menu in Editor to give you more control over its effects.

• Light Balance
• Sharpness
• Definition

Let's take a look at how these three seemingly similar features differ.

(1) Light balance enhancement

Light Balance literally refers to "balance of light".

This feature lowers  the brightness in an image to a neutral tone, making places that are too dark a little brighter and places that are too light a little darker to ensure visibility and balance brightness.

(+):  It makes lighter areas a little brighter, and darker areas more illuminated to match the bright areas.

(-): It makes lighter areas a little darker, and darker areas even darker.

As shown in the example above, the light balance effect adjusts to make the image easier to see, with larger (+) values brightening the overall image, while larger (-) values dimming the overall image and casting shadows.

The example photo below should help you understand a little better how the effect of light balance differs from the ability to change the overall brightness and exposure at once.

Light balance is currently only available for photo editing. It will be available for video editing soon.

(2) Sharpness Enhancement

Sharpness is a feature that sharpens blurry photos. While it doesn't seem to have anything to do with light, it is in fact dependent on the light intensity.

The effect is to make the brightest points in the photo brighter to create texture, which in turn makes the photo look sharper.

You can use sharpness the same way in video editing as in photos.

(3) Addition of Definition

Definition is a new feature in the One UI 5.1 update.

Similar to sharpness, definition applies the effects of light rather than changing the light itself, such as making lighter areas of an image just a little brighter and darker areas darker to create texture, or three-dimensionality, in a photo.

In One UI 5.1, definition is only available for photo editing, but we're working on making it available for video editing as well.

Stay tuned for future improvements to the Photo/Video Editor.
