Samsung's fake Moon photos aren't a giant leap for mobile photography - The Verge

The Moon seems to be a different case, and ibreakphotos' clever test exposes the ways that Samsung is doing a little extra processing. They put an intentionally blurred image of the Moon in front of the camera, displayed it on a screen, and took a photo of it. The resulting image shows details that it couldn't have possibly pulled from the original photo because they were blurred away -- rather, Samsung's processing doing a little more embellishment: adding lines and, in a follow-up test, putting Moon-like texture in areas clipped to white in the original image. It's not wholesale copy-and-pasting, but it's not simply enhancing what it sees.
