Galaxy AI transforms travel memories in San Francisco into lasting impressions

The Galaxy S26 Ultra, with its advanced AI features, enhances travel photos by transforming them into creative content. Samsung Newsroom explored these capabilities during a visit to San Francisco, demonstrating how the device enriches travel memories.

Following the visual journey through San Francisco’s diverse landscapes with the Galaxy S26 Ultra camera in the first installment, this second part delves into the subsequent steps. The Galaxy S26 Ultra, equipped with advanced AI capabilities, not only captures but also transforms photos to align with user preferences, turning them into new creative content.

During a recent exploration, Samsung Newsroom demonstrated how the AI features of the Galaxy S26 Ultra can enhance travel experiences, putting them to the test in San Francisco.

Photo Assist

Restore and Refine With a Single Prompt

Travelers often miss the perfect photo opportunity, such as capturing a dish before it’s half-eaten. At a San Francisco café, a partially eaten cake was easily restored to its untouched state using the Galaxy S26 Ultra. By simply inputting the command, “Make it look uneaten,” the Photo Assist feature effectively reconstructed the cake’s original appearance.

Reimagine Any Scene After the Shot

Perfect travel photos are rare, as ideal conditions of scenery, subjects, and timing seldom align. However, Photo Assist allows users to creatively edit their images. For instance, a street photo of San Francisco was seamlessly merged with an image of a passing tram, appearing as though captured in a single instant. Additionally, users can alter the time of day in their photos. By uploading a daytime image of San Francisco’s harbor and prompting adjustments like “Make it look like sunset” or “Turn it into a night scene,” Galaxy AI modifies the sky and lighting to simulate different times.

Creative Studio

Turn Photos Into Artistic Creations

After photographing the sea lions at San Francisco’s Pier 39, an iconic landmark, the image was imported into Creative Studio. By selecting the Oil painting style, Galaxy AI analyzed the texture and colors, transforming the photo into an oil painting-style artwork. This feature allows users to reimagine their images with new aesthetics, crafting entirely different pieces.

Creative Studio offers a variety of styles to transform travel photos, enabling users to preserve memories with unique perspectives.

Create Custom Stickers With Ease

The feature also allows for the creation of custom stickers. Using a photo of sea lions, Creative Studio generated character stickers that highlight the animals’ distinctive features. Users can repeatedly generate images to achieve the desired effect and save them under themed sets such as “A slice of Life” or “Today’s vibe.” These stickers can be used to embellish photos or shared across text-based applications, including messaging and notes.

Through Creative Studio, users can convert everyday images into personalized content, sharing their travel memories in innovative ways, whether with family and friends or on social media.

Capturing and enhancing moments in San Francisco with the Galaxy S26 Ultra and Galaxy AI enriches travel memories significantly. The process of shooting, editing, and sharing is seamlessly integrated into one device.
