Electronic device and image processing method thereof

An operating method of an electronic device comprising a memory which stores at least one image, the method comprising:

• obtaining a request related to a quality of a first image among the at least one image;
• in response to the request, determining whether detecting a plurality of degradations of the first image is completed before obtaining the request;
• as a result of determining, if detecting the plurality of the degradations is not completed, determining whether a degradation improvement condition is satisfied for the first image;
• in response to satisfying the degradation improvement condition, detecting the plurality of the degradations;
• determining whether a criterion for improving the plurality of the degradations is satisfied;
• and
• based on whether the criterion is satisfied, displaying a second image in which degradation improvement is performed on the plurality of the degradations or a third image in which degradation improvement is performed on one degradation of the plurality of the degradations.

An electronic device comprising:

• a memory for storing at least one image, a first application, a second application and a third application;
• a display;
• and
• at least one processor electrically connected with the memory and the display,
• wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• obtain a request related to a quality of a first image among the at least one image by executing the first application,
• in response to the request, determine whether detecting a plurality of degradations of the first image is completed before obtaining the request,
• as a result of determining, in response to not completing the detection of the plurality of the degradations, determine whether a degradation improvement condition is satisfied for the first image by executing the third application,
• in response to satisfying the degradation improvement condition, detect the plurality of the degradations,
• determine whether a criterion for improving the plurality of the degradations is satisfied,
• in response to satisfying the criterion, generate a second image in which degradation improvement is performed on the plurality of the degradations,
• in response to not satisfying the criterion, generate a third image in which degradation improvement is performed on one of the plurality of the degradations, and
• control the display to display the second image or the third image through the first application.
