Remini – Улучшитель Фот‪о‬ 12+

Having tried every “photo enhancement” app in the store, I can vouch for the fact that this is the best available one. I found myself repeatedly using it, so eventually paid for the lite version.

Just to be clear, an AI enhancement app can’t do everything. It won’t turn your vintage blurry photos into masterpieces, largely because it does its best to reconstruct from vague shapes (eyes, for example), the finished product can be a little hit-and-miss. However, the app does quickly de-noise photos (makes them less grainy). I’ve tried it on newer, higher quality photos in which the subject had too much shadow on their face and it brightened them very well. All in all, I’m pleased and will continue to see what it can do. Just keep in mind that the clearer the features on the person’s face are already, the better the app can do. With ancient photos taken from far away, it may be “replacing” the eyes with similar, clear eyes, making the subject not really look like themselves. It can also leave the rest of their body (arms, for example) grainy because it’s concentrating on the face.

Just don’t expect miracles on old, old stuff—we haven’t gotten there yet. But for today’s tech, this is pretty good and lots of fun to play with. If you are looking to quickly smooth skin and brighten more modern photos, you’ll be pleased.

Update: they now let you choose to turn on and off color enhancement, face beautification and background enhancement! With color and face fix turned off the photo is true to the original picture! There are even 2 versions of enhancements for some options. So totally 18 variations for users to choose from! Glad they listen to their users! I downloaded it a while ago and it has since added “degree of enhance” options. Original comment: It used to mess up some little details of the face. It seems to improve somewhat as well. Update: Asians now can get straight eyelashes now(although can still be a bit messy), and smalls details like speckles are kept, which are definitely pros. What I don’t like is how the picture got brightened and lose some to tonal details. If I want that I can do it myself with photo editing apps to the exact degree I like. Unblur was good enough before. Users would generally want accuracy over beautification from an APP like Remini. Besides, 9$/week, the price is too much.

I do media for my job so I pay for a variety of apps and this one has given me the most grief. For starters $6 a week for not even the pro version. Most of my best apps with tons of features (including AI) will still be less than $50 a year. This is over $300 a year for an app with no features and most of the time malfunctions. If I want to enhance a photo for an ad it will turn the writing on a product into gibberish. I payed a disgusting amount for the vid version when I got this and they did not disclose that it doesn’t work on vids over 6 seconds. Who in the world makes vids that short? This payment wall feature is a scam. This app wasn’t all terrible when it let you choose the lighting and the ways it was editing. Now there’s another payment wall and if you don’t want all faces to look like cartoons you have to pay for pro version but still no promises that your pics will come out normal looking. I’m very disappointed with how scammy this app is. I am also very disappointed with how slow this app is. I would’ve been a lifelong customer if the price and settings were normal. 3 stars bc it does technically bring up the “quality” if you need a larger file. You can’t choose how big of a file you’d like though. Hope this helps save time for someone.
