Moon photo taken in ProRAW Max format gets overexposed when being edited This has been bothering me since last year when I started taking photos of the moon on my iPhone 15 Pro Max. I’m on iOS 18.2.1. Here’s how to reproduce it: Open the camera and zoom in to the moon Use AF lock on the brightest part of the moon Change exposure to lowest setting Take photo After taking the photo, the image looks great, albeit with a bit of noise. Obviously, one would want to edit and enhance the details. But when I tap on Edit, the moon suddenly gets overexposed and no adjustments can recover the photo’s details other than canceling all changes. Opening the same file on Lightroom also overexposed the photo that can’t be recovered. Is this an issue on my phone‘s camera? Because I’ve seen other people post moon photos with their 15 Pro Max with a different result. As an amateur astrophotographer, being able to use my phone instead of buying a separate equipment would be great.

iPhone 15 pro - panoramic photos are dull When I take a panoramic photo with my iPhone 15 Pro, it looks duller and a bit darker - almost like a filter has been applied. When I switch back to regular photo mode and take a photo of the same scene, it's bright and crisp like it should be. This never happened with my iPhone XR (which I just switched from) - panoramics were bright and beautiful. I'm wondering if a filter or adjustments are automatically being applied to panoramics? Has anyone else noticed this, and have you found a way to fix it? Thanks

Camera IPhone 14 Pro tell me what is happening with the iphone 14 pro camera ...? How to turn off this post-processing... in good lighting or professional light, photo processing is just awful and it's not clear how to turn it off? attached an example photo, in the camera application, there is only one photo on the screen, after in the gallery, the photo goes through some kind of terrible processing, as if contrast is added 10,000 times, this is very disturbing in professional light ....

Hi sallie48,

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Taking photos in low light conditions can cause this to happen with your photos. However, you can see how to take the best photos in Night Mode following the steps in this article: Use Night mode on your iPhone

Have a great day.
