My pleasure. 😊
I would be already satisfied, if the iPhone would save the normal version of of each HDR photo in addition to the HDR version. Then I could decide later which version to keep.
I kept using my iPhone 5s for a long time, because it has been the last model, where we could keep the normal version when taking HDR photos.
Now that I am having only the iPhone 15 pro Max, I have lost some great photo opportunities because of HDR artefacts that have spoiled the photo.
In the case of the pictures with the sun in the photo, I do not mind the halo so much, but the overexposed white patch, where the sun is. I am usually using an external editor on my Mac to darken the overexposed highlights.
