Making a great image enhancement algorithm is one of the hardest problems in mobile photography. It needs to:
- Look natural and pleasant to most people
- Improve the photo without obvious โAI lookโ
- Avoid weird artifacts and over-enhancing
- Work reliably across thousands of real-world scenes and lighting conditions.
Weโve been deep in this challenge for years. Really happy (and proud) to share that Viesus just won the TIPA World Award 2026 for Best AI B2B Software ๐If youโre working on imaging pipelines, whether phone, camera, or print, you should always try us out.
The new AI Camera Assistant* with Xperia Intelligence brings stories to life. Using subject, scene and weather, it suggests expressive options with adjustments of colour, exposure, bokeh, and lens for breathtaking photos*.

Congrats Sony on the Xperia 1 VIII! Hardware is impressive.The AI Camera Assistant feedback shows how complex mobile AI image enhancement is. We've deployed our algorithms for smartphone makers and just picked up the TIPA Best AI B2B Software award 2026 ๐ Clean natural enhancements at scale. Open to talk and provide a pilot package if useful. https://t.co/ioq89zM3ly
@dcrainmakerblog Iโm happy that Whoop made me aware of @bevel_health, using it now daily to optimize health and fitness with Apple Watch & Garmin data.
@levelsio@hispanicnomad He even calls Garda as in Gardameer as way better, like that's the default camping spot for Dutch normies. Garda, out of so many better Italian places.
Jan and I were front row at the Fogra Colour Management Symposium 2026 in Munich last week. Here's why it mattered.
You take a photo on your iPhone, Pixel, or any modern smartphone. It looks vivid, sharp, high contrast. You send it to print. It comes back flat. Most people blame the printer. The real issue starts much earlier.
The same problem hits the small bakery designing their own flyers โ uncalibrated screen, low-res image, PDF sent straight to press. A genuine step forward in print-on-demand. A genuine disappointment when the result arrives. The printer isn't to blame either time.
This is the daily reality for printing companies receiving files not made by experts. Not a niche problem โ millions of prints, every day.
At Viesus AG, our world is image enhancement. We work on the image or PDF before it reaches the press โ recovering tonal range, enhancing detail, giving the output device the best possible input. Not a substitute for colour management. The step that makes colour management's job more impactful and the final result better.
We're also working on something new in this space. Not ready to share yet โ but soon.
The symposium confirmed what we already believed: image quality and colour management aren't separate topics. The printing companies treating them as one integrated challenge are the ones whose output truly matches intent.
@BenjiNaesen My 5-year-old consumer Garmin lets my partner track me when I cycle alone in the mountains. It even has crash detection and an incident procedure. What's the big deal? Muriel Furrer left a deep mark here in the community, we should learn from it out of respect for her.
