The best way to capture your newborn’s first moments on this planet is with the help of a baby photography studio, which can create beautiful everlasting memories of your baby that can last a lifetime.

However, life often does not wait for you to reach a studio, and so a lot of moments will be captured on mobile phones with increasingly sophisticated cameras with ever-innovative features.

However, one of these features on Samsung’s most recent range of smartphones has courted controversy for leading to some unintentionally frightening pictures.

The Remaster function has been advertised as a “fix it” button for pictures. You activate a slider and an artificial intelligence engine trained in photography will do what it can to unblur pictures, remove reflections and shadows, and improve lighting and sharpness to create the “best” possible version of a picture.

It has become somewhat infamous for getting confused and adding fabricated details, most infamously by adding teeth to pictures of babies, which has in turn sparked a lot of insightful discussions about why this is so horrifying.

At present, it is an optional feature, so parents can thankfully avoid it, but it still leads to questions about how much people should be “fixing” baby photos, especially ones taken outside of a studio.

There have been long-standing concerns about how social media apps like Instagram create a culture of eternally tweaking reality and the every day in order to show our everyday lives in the best possible light, and this is a concerning attitude to have towards exceptionally small children.

Babies are adorable and wonderful, but they will not and should not always be studio-ready, and erasing every detail and imperfection in what should be a day-to-day record of a baby’s early years loses the authenticity that comes from capturing everyday life.

Thankfully it is just an optional feature right now on highly expensive phones, so hopefully, the horror of newborn baby teeth will not be repeated.
