Hello, I am writing to report an issue with the object eraser function in the Gallery app after updating my S23 Ultra to the 6.1 UI. Previously, when circling an object to remove it, the outline would remain intact when I lifted the pen off the screen. However, now the outline shrinks to a different size as soon as I take the pen away, making it difficult to accurately select the object for removal. I have attached screenshots to illustrate the issue.

 
I would appreciate it if you could investigate this matter and provide a solution to restore the previous functionality of the object eraser. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
 
I do know about the new AI Function that is similar, however I prefer the object eraser. 
 
Best regards,

I installed it and didn't see any changes as far as it allowing you to revert back to the previous object remover.

You should see this option in the top right corner.

Good on you. It was the magnetic lasso option messing it up. So my question now is; when would one want to use the magnetic lasso?

Thanks

I just noticed this also after the update on my fold. You can't make this **bleep** up. I use that feature every single day.

I used object eraser to edit photos a lot and now it's not working after the update. It shrinks to a different size.  Doesn't work.

Agree! The update ruined this best feature. I just spent a half hour on the phone with their tech support and they cannot restore it back to the old way. It used to be able to erase things like a piece of hair but now it doesn't detect them at all. I'm so mad!
ETA , ok so the advice to go to the Samsung store and update your photo editing app works.. when you go into object eraser, you will see words that say magnetic lasso in the top right, and if you click on it it will be pretty close to the old way. It appears you have to do it for every picture.
