I sent a reply yesterday, which hasn't been posted as I write this. But, essentially, I agreed with everyone else; the entire Picture Edit AI reconfiguring is problematic. But having experimented a bit more, I'd like to adjust my opinion somewhat...
The new Remove Background is a mistake and at the very least, users should get the option of using the previous version. Auto Enhance, which is evidently primarily to adjust lighting, is also not good.
But I have found Upscale, for sharpening, to actually be quite good. There's a bit of Uncanny Valley but overall I think it's a valuable option, and genuinely terrific when used on pictures which include text.
