Professional Perspective – Photography & Workflow Insights

Photographer Bill Maynard has been testing Aiarty for noise reduction and deblurring:

“As a wildlife photographer, I rely on tools that enhance my images while staying true to the natural beauty of my subjects. Aiarty Image Enhancer excels in this regard.”

For large-resolution files, he suggests setting Max Tile Size to Auto for best results. See more of his test.

What’s New in the Update

1. TIFF & DNG Export for Pro Workflows

You can now export enhanced images as TIFF or DNG, preserving higher bit depth and improving compatibility with Lightroom, Photoshop, and Capture One.

Explicit DPI options let you optimize images for web, standard print, or fine-art/large format printing (72–96 / 150–300 / 500+ DPI).

2. Improved Color Restoration

Alongside quick color correction panels, Aiarty now includes a slider-based color restoration control. This allows users to dial enhancements back toward the original color profile, helping maintain natural skin tones, foliage, and skies.

3. AI Eraser (Beta)

The AI Eraser in Aiarty Image Enhancer is designed for removing unwanted objects and reconstructing backgrounds. AI models are downloaded locally on first use, after which processing is fast and fully offline. As this feature is still in beta, results may vary depending on scene complexity. View the practice guide.

Why This Update Matters in Practice

Depending on your workflow, Aiarty Image Enhancer can be used early to clean up challenging files or later as a finishing step for delivery or print. It’s especially useful for:
• High-ISO or low-light images where reducing noise risks losing detail
• Older, scanned, AI-generated, or low-resolution files needing natural-looking upscaling
• Heavy crops for print, where artifacts become more visible

A Practical, Offline Tool (No Subscription)

Aiarty Image Enhancer focuses on restoring and enhancing images naturally, without locking users into a monthly subscription:
Preserve Detail: Denoise and deblur while keeping textures sharp.
Natural Upscaling: Upscale older files or heavy crops without an artificial look.
Strength Control to balance enhancement and authenticity
Realistic Color: Avoid the oversaturated or “AI-styled” appearance.
Total Privacy: All processing happens on your device—no uploads required.

The first Chinese autofocus lens for Fujifilm GFX cameras is coming soon!

This is a world’s first: For the first time a chinese manufacturer will release a GF autofocus lens. This is what we got via Weibo:

  • Big news! The first GFX autofocus lens from a domestic (Chinese) optical brand is coming.
  • I had known for some time that there were two manufacturers developing autofocus lenses for the Fuji GFX.
  • An even more talented person has emerged, vying to overtake him, and an announcement will be made soon.

We don’t know what company is going to make this lens and what the specs will be.

Insta360 CEO is teasing the launch of a new APS-C mirrorless system camera?

The CEO of Insta360 just posted this image of what appears to be a completely new INSTA360 camera. His text going along the image was “向新的焦段出发” (Heading towards new focal lengths).

Key Identifiers & Specs (from the image and leaks):

  • Aperture: The screen clearly shows an f/1.8 aperture.

  • Form Factor: It appears to be a fixed-lens compact camera or a compact mirrorless system designed to compete with the Fujifilm X100 series or the Sony ZV-1/Vlog series.

  • UI/Interface: The screen layout (showing the [9999+] shot counter and A mode) is an evolution of the Insta360 Ace Pro interface, including a large flip-up touchscreen.

  • Body Design: The camera has a distinct tan/beige rugged casing in the photo (which may be a prototype skin or a “Desert Edition”). It features physical control wheels for aperture and exposure compensation, a first for the brand.

If this is going to be a mirroless camera with APS-C sensor…will it be fixed lens or have a mount? And is this going to be L-mount or a new mount camera?
