PowerShot G7 X: How to undo skin smoothing settings on camera

Hi! I have a g7x and took photos that the skin smoothing was accidentally turned all the way up and now they look way over edited. Is there a way to undo this setting on a photo that’s already been taken? Thank you!

Skin smoothing and other effects are applied only to JPG images and once done cannot be reversed.  However, if you also recorded in RAW, then the original image, as shot, will be retained.


cheers, TREVOR

As Trevor noted, there is no undo if you only have JPG images.  You may be able to counteract some of the effect by applying significant sharpening to the image using a jpg editor.
