Mode Switches

The Config section — which processing stages run, plus the ARmode and HDRmode value tables and feature dependencies.

Controls which processing stages are enabled in the enhancement pipeline.

Parameter	Value	Default	Description
ARmode	0 – 8	2	Artifact removal. See ARmode values below.
Enhancemode	0 – 3	1	Enhancement mode. 0 = none, 1 = normal, 2 = no enhance + no manual CC, 3 = normal + no manual CC
RERmode	0 – 2	0	Red-eye reduction. 0 = disabled, 1 = safe, 2 = extended
FDmode	0 – 3	1	Face detection. 0 = off, 1 = normal, 2 = full analysis, 3 = blur faces (anonymise)
SHPmode	0, 1	1	Local sharpening. 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled
NoiseRedMode	0 – 3	0	Noise reduction. 0 = off, 1 = automatic profiling (recommended), 2 = fixed-strength (no profiling), 3 = AI Noise Removal
SKIPmode	0, 1	1	Skip artificial images. 0 = skip, 1 = enhance all
WFmode	0, 1	0	White fix. 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled
FRmode	0 – 3	1	Face reconstruction. 0 = off, 1 = default, 2 = mixed, 3 = fast
AFFmode	0, 1	0	Adaptive Face Flash. 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled
ProcessingSequence	0 – 3	0	Processing order. 0 = default, 1 = resize after, 2 = resize before, 3 = red-eye first
GAmode	0, 1	0	Grain addition. 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled
BGmode	0 – 4	0	Background handling. 0 = off, 1 = alpha, 2 = color replace, 3 = image replace, 4 = alpha + color (pre-composited RGBA)
BGBlurmode	0, 1	0	Background blurring. 0 = disabled, 1 = enabled
BGBalmode	0 – 3	0	Background balancing. 0 = off, 1 = to first, 2 = strict, 3 = to parameters
VSceneMode	0, 1	0	vScene scene-aware enhancement. 0 = off, 1 = on. Enables scene detection and Scene Preset selection automatically.
HDRmode	0 – 7	0	HDR tonemapping method. See HDRmode values below.

ARmode values

Value	Description
0	Off
1	Auto, CPU-only DCT smoothing
2	Auto with AI (default) — detects artifact severity, selects appropriate model
3	Auto with AI, fast
4	Always CPU — unconditional CPU-based DCT smoothing
5	Always AI — unconditional full-quality AI removal
6	Always AI, fast
7	Always CPU + AI — combined CPU and AI passes
8	Always CPU + AI, fast

HDRmode values

Value	Description
0	Off — no tonemapping
1	Soft cinematic look — broadly forgiving default
2	Broadcast-standard tonemapping — predictable for video / broadcast
3	Dynamic metadata–aware — best when source carries dynamic HDR metadata
4	Reference knee curve — predictable mid-tones, soft highlight rolloff
5	Smooth-gradient operator — can compress highlights heavily
6	Smooth gradient with explicit white point — sharper highlights
7	High-contrast cinematic — popular for portraits and product shots

Feature dependencies

Features that depend on another feature enable that dependency automatically at runtime — you do not need to set it yourself:

Feature	Requires
Face Reconstruction (FRmode)	Face Detection (FDmode)
Red-Eye Removal (RERmode)	Face Detection (FDmode)
Adaptive Face Flash (AFFmode)	Face Detection (FDmode)
Portrait Auto Crop (CropMode)	Face Detection (FDmode)
