Turn off Auto-Enhance / edit on iPhone

Turn off this HDR here in photos options

I don’t agree. The whole reason people don’t like the photo is because it looks harsh and sharp. Doing it with burst takes that harshness away. Hope you find the answer you’re looking for.

The setting you’re pointing out unfortunately doesn’t fix the issue they’re speaking of. Turning off HDR doesn’t prevent the phones from auto adjusting/editing the photos.

yall. go to settings rn and turn off the view full hdr bc it really works. to do it you go to setting, camera, scroll and turn on view fill hdr

I believe you can take the picture in portrait mode and turn off the portrait mode afterwards, so it’s a normal looking picture

I found an app called ProCam (light blue icon, not procamera , or 8, or anything else) and it removes the post processing. Its paid but its pretty cheap, it was totally worthy!!!!! Iphone 13 post processing is terrible 😞

So this is to force ppl to buy the IPhone 13 Pro? Absolute garbage auto enhance.. My photos from iPhone 4 and 7 looked far better. These photos look like someone who just discovered HDR and turned it all the way up. Or like if you max out the brightness editing control. This os enraging especially when this phone is sold for its amazing photos!

if this is a software issue please fix it!

Enraging. Returning this phone. I’ll wait for the next one I guess.

When I first got my my 13 , I deeply regretted having divorced my X so quickly. I went back to Genius Bar for help but some IQ points were missing in the response I got. So, I’ve read about some of the new photo features for 14 but no mention of better editing choices. Hopefully I accidentally only missed that part. Otherwise, Apple’s mystery strategy remains hidden as to what would inspire us to ditch the 13 for the 14?

Apple =deep fusion frustration

Taking away our freedoms frame by frame.

Still no solution for this? I hate this auto enhancement, it over-sharpens & edits photos & turns them into a crap, I thought editing is our choice?! I have to take photos with pro-raw so it lessens the sharpness, Apple needs to solve this in a new update

This really sucks! I spent so much money on this phone changing from my iphone 10 to this feels the opposite of an upgrade, y estos telefonos estan mas caros en mexico donde vivo, porfavor!!! Fix this on an upgrade, ive tried everything and it still looks bas, its so sad to see beautiful pictures turn ugly, porfavorrrr please!

There was a fix awhile back that seemed to help with this problem. The 2004 / 7th grade photo class HDR effect was diminished and I didn’t have to spend ten minutes or fool w third party app to take a decent photo. After some recent update, not sure which I stupidly upgrade every time I’m asked to, it’s back with a vengeance and I cannot take a pic that isn’t blown out and ruined.

I have submitted complaints to apple but what exactly is the logic in ruining phone photography? No one buys new phones for anything but better cameras. Why do I want my pics to look like Flickr when everyone discovered $40 hdr apps??!?!

This needs to be fixed. Whomever is running this camera software needs to get at least a 16 year old with some decent aesthetic sense to give advice over __ I can’t even guess who thinks pictures need to look like this. It hurts my brain.

It’s abominable. It is so bad. I can’t even wrap my head around it. Mine was ok after one update and recently went back to being unusable in most light conditions. Still no turn off HDR. The pics look amazing until the software ruins them.

Everyone should bomb all reviews of this phone and the next until we get a simple turn off HDR button in settings. As I wrote pll buy phones for cameras. If the camera is unusable who will buy new phones? I don’t want to spend $1300 to use a clunky third party app or dear god use burst mode and go thru the pics. Why is that necessary? The phone is a year old. Fix this!!

I know many people changing their minds after learning this and getting another phone with a proper camera instead. And it’s been more than a year and Apple doesn’t even consider this as a problem. But if you don’t fix it no one will pay this much for a phone with a camera like this. It’s horrendous! It’s not just this auto enhance, also focus is so slow, my 6 year old Samsung note 8 does a better job in daylights and focusing. But for brand new iPhone 13 it takes 3 seconds to focuse with jittering, cannot zoom and over sharpens photos and turn people into cardboards.

Got my first iPhone 13 after years of Android.. I had chosen 13 mainly for taking pictures . I should say Iam deeply regretting the purchase.. The pictures are horribly smoothed over sharpen and there is no way to toggle off the HDR ..The highlight's and shadows are crushed even skies are blown out at times .. Please fix the camera and give us an option to manually ride the toggles

I have spent hours trying to figure out what the **** is wrong with my phone and now I found this and can not believe after turning in my perfectly wonderful 11 promax I’m dealing with this! I never would have switched had I known 😞. I use my camera for a living and these auto enhanced pictures are AWFUL!!! If they don’t fix this I just might end up moving to android. So upset!
