Turn off Auto-Enhance / edit on iPhone

If you shoot with the timer on it fixes it.. kind of annoying but hey💁‍♂️ I hope ios 16 fixes this otherwise gonna have to switch. I bought the iphone for the best camera and it’s not acting like it

hey guys! so i finally got my phone to stop auto enhancing my photos by having both ProRAW and Most compatible in my camera settings enabled !! hope this helps 🫶🏼

I use app PS Express for photos and ProMovie for videos. When I take pictures there, there is no post edit!

i found if you shoot raw and then edit it will use the original image and not the ****** auto edit version.

Hey there, lecomoura!

From your post, it sounds like you are working on changing settings for the camera on your iPhone 13 Pro. We’re glad that you reached out to the Apple Support Communities. We want to try and help you find the answers you need.

Have you had a chance to review your iPhone Camera settings and change them as needed? If not, you may want to start there. You may want to review your Scene Detection settings, Lens Correction, and Photographic Style. Here's how: About the Camera features on your iPhone.

We hope this information helps you out.

Take care!

I HAVE A SOLUTION! If you take all photos live, once Apple auto-changes your lighting… you can then edit the photo & choose to edit the “live” portion of the photo, swipe to change the main frame- & either change the main frame- which it won’t auto-adjust (but it will be blurry once u save it) OR just screenshot the frame you want (in its natural color without being blurry). Second option is best effective & I’ve been doing it for a year now.

This is still an issue with the 14’s (which I had no idea it was a thing before upgrading from my XR)

my kids don’t even look like themselves in the photos thanks to these adjustments

please considering submitting a ‘report a problem’ to apple engineers maybe they’ll finally listen and update software to exclude this

I found a way to help with this problem! So first you go to your photo and it has to be Live Photo. Go to edit and press live and if you scroll it go back to normal. Take a screen shot and crop it. 👍🏻

Shoot it as a Live Photo then go into Edit, hit the Live Photo icon, and change the key photo. That should remove the processing.

Right?! It makes a huge difference when you use the burst option. Im glad I could help!

Go to settings, photos, turn off “View Full HDR”

not exactly the best solution but try taking a screenshot just before the auto-enhancement happens, it worked for me

I have the iPhone 12 Pro so I'm not sure if it's the same for newer models but if you go to settings and turn off scene detection under the camera I'm pretty sure it turns off the auto enhancement.

I have exactly the same problem with my iPhone 13. I have to walk around with two iPhones in my pockets - I use my old iPhone XS only to take photos because they’re so much better.

I’m a photographer and it’s absolutely devastating to see your photos being destroyed infront of your eyes with the IPhone 13.

I’ve talked to so many different people from Apple, I went to different apple stores and all of them had no idea how to turn it off. I’ve tried everything!

I wanted to change it to an iPhone 14 because I thought it was only iPhone 13 that had that issue - but I’m chocked when I realised that iPhone 14 also has this auto enhancement.

I was then able to report the issue properly and make a complain where I could send screenshots of the issue and I had a call with people from apple. I told them that it’s absurd that this issue isn’t fixed when people have been complaining about this since the iPhone 13 was realised, and the dude from apple replies “I’m sorry that you think it’s an issue”… (!!!!!!!)

It’s ridiculous that a phone’s camera in 2022 has an auto adjustment that you can’t turn off. Makes ZERO sense.

I actually switched to RAW and edit it in Snapseed. It makes me crazy spend so much time making acceptable picture. I even tried to use other then apple camera app (moment) but it is way slow in focus.
