Samsung To add AstroPortrait Camera Mode In Expert RAW App
Samsung is now gearing up to enhance the camera experience, especially for photoholic users, by adding an advanced feature to its Expert RAW application called AstroPortrait.
Samsung’s Expert RAW application is available for download on the Galaxy Store for Galaxy S20 and later flagship devices. One of the novelties of the app is that it supports astrophotography and various exposure modes. Now the news is saying Samsung is working on adding one more advanced feature to the app to increase users’ convenience.
If the reports are believed, the forthcoming advanced feature that Samsung will add could be named ‘AstroPortrait.’ This advanced feature will allow users to capture portrait images of people whose backgrounds contain the night sky with stars and other cosmic objects. This new feature was speculated upon by analyzing the code of the latest version of the Expert Raw app.
A few code strings in the app are somewhere pointing out that users need to click an image with a person in the frame, then ask the user to move away from the frame, then once the flash goes off, the user has to move away from the frame, and then click the night sky without moving the phone. This will result in a mixture of astrophotography and portrait modes.
It’s expected that Samsung could announce the AstroPortrait mode with a future version of Expert RAW. The Giants released a new version of the app that included the Auto ND Filter feature.
Over the years, Google has made several improvements to its most crucial application, the Google Play Store, and it constantly provides new utility features and improvements. Now, with the latest development, the company is working on a new capability to handle multiple application downloads.
According to the information, Google is looking to bring a new capability to download multiple applications together. Previously, when you tap on the install button of the applications, it starts downloading them one by one. When one application fully downloads, it starts downloading the second application.
However, it is worth noticing that the phenomenon of multiple downloading is limited to only two applications, meaning if you tap on more than three applications to download, it will start downloading two applications while the third one is still pending.
Additionally, the simultaneous download is limited to the new installs, but it will not apply to the update section. We hope that Google may expand the multiple downloads to update phenomenon and may increase the number of downloads together in the next developments.
As per the information, the new change has already started working on several devices, at least for the Android 14 installed devices with the latest version of the Play Store (40.6.31).
Good Lock plays a key role in providing a platform for all the customizing applications or plugins of the Galaxy devices. For information, it provides several types of plugins like NavStar, QuickStar, LockStar, Camera Assistant, and many more. With these plugins, users can perform several customizations for the smartphone UI, including navigation bars, lock screens, home screens, notifications, and many more. To manage these plugins more conveniently, the company has started rolling out the update for Good Lock.
Good Lock is receiving a new update, version 2.2.04.95. With the latest update, the company has introduced some new changes that will fix the phenomenon of installation and deletion of modules, so users can easily manage them according to their requirements.
Along with this, the changelog also says to bring some fixes for the security-related functionalities, so if you are also having some issues while using any of the functions of Good Lock or want to get some performance enhancements, then you should go for the latest Good Lock update.
If you want to install the latest version of Good Lock, you can check its availability from the Galaxy Store. If it is available, tap on the update button, but if it isn’t available, you can also sideload the application through some external sources.
