   @tobiasdm @sdw @halide the issue here clearly isn’t what they are doing- it’s that they lied about it in advertising

     @sdw @halide if it knew what my kids eyes looked like, probably. I’m just taking a picture of the moon though, so doesn’t have the same sentimental value to me as my kids eyes. I wish the camera sensor could capture what I saw better, but this seems like a decent workaround for now.
     I can’t agree with the this-is-fake response since all photos are fake compared to what _I_ saw anyways. We need brain sensors for that ?
     I just want a picture of how I saw something. And the moon had texture.

     @tobiasdm @halide because this isn't adding the detail you saw, it's adding manufactured, pre-stored data that doesn't match reality. It just infills a texture. Do you want your camera to do this for say, your kids' eyes too?

     @halide it _is_ there though. The phone just isn’t able to capture it.
     Why should my photos that include the moon not look like what I was seeing when took the picture?

     Reddit user ibreakphotos discovers that Samsung's 'Space Zoom' simply replaces user's moon photos with higher-res images of the moon through a clever testing process.

     This isn't computational photography — it's inserting imagery that simply isn't there.
