The Overprocessed Photos Needs to be Fixed.

I recently switched to iPhones from Android. I've been using the iPhone 13 for about a Week now and I do like the OS, the system and the fluidity surrounding it, but the camera, oh the camera.

I have searched and searched all over the internet, tried a bunch of different "solutions" if you can call them that, for nothing seems to work.

I understand its deep fusion, but honestly, the photos turn to crap, I don't want to take screenshot instead of capturing a picture, nor do I want to keep changing the key photo in the live picture I capture.

It's frustrating at least, and mind numbing at best. it irritates me to see, that pictures that I see so brilliantly on my viewfinder turn to crap as soon as I click them.

What's worse is, that its been a year and still nothing has been done!

So Dear Apple, Its yet another humble request to fix this, unlike your Precious "Pro" users, We normal iPhone users don't have the ProRaw option to turn off the automatically applied edits.

I have been impressed by the iPhone cameras before, its sad to see that when I finally do switch to one, the results sour out.

So, Please Fix this, allow me to turn this off, optimize it, make it better or whatever, but I'd like to experience the iPhone pictures that I used to admire, that convinced me to finally make the switch.

A rather Dissatisfied yet Hopeful Customer. Hope to see this Fixed soon.

Kind Regards,

Ventus

Look, I understand I can edit and fix photos, now only if you could tell me, why should I spend my time fixing every photo that I clicked, which actually should have been natural and unedited to begin with.

I hope you see that its not the users or rather customers fault here that automatically HDR is being applied to their photos.

I do understand that this is a User based forum, So I did send an actual feedback to apple abut this.

also, Why will I pay for third party apps again, I don't need to, they could just fix their broken Deep Fusion pipeline.

Ingo, I think, the iPhone 11 Pro Max is the last model, where we could disable the automatic HDR for photos.

Adjust HDR camera settings on iPhone - Apple Support (BH)

I have not upgraded to one of the more recent iPhone model, so I can still shoot shoot both, HDR and normal photos and keep the better one. The HDR versions are frequently having too much saturation and too much details in the dark background. I regret to have replaced the iPhone X, that has been the last version, where I could save both the normal and the HDR version automatically and not have to take each HDR photo twice - once as HDR and once the normal version. It has been fully automatic.

Turn off automatic HDR

By default, iPhone automatically uses HDR when it’s most effective. On some iPhone models, you can manually control HDR instead.

- On iPhone XS, iPhone XR, iPhone 11 models, iPhone SE (2nd generation), and iPhone 12 models:Go to Settings > Camera, then turn off Smart HDR. Then from the camera screen, tap HDR to turn it off or on.
- On iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus, and iPhone X: Go to Settings > Camera, then turn off Auto HDR.
- To turn HDR back on from the camera screen, tap HDR, then tap On.

Keep the non-HDR version of a photo

By default, the HDR version of a photo is saved in Photos. On iPhone X and earlier models, you can also save the non-HDR version.

Go to Settings > Camera, then turn on Keep Normal Photo.

I did,

its not about that though, What I am trying at say is, The Pictures look great in The Viewfinder, then Automatic HDR is applied to them in the Photos App, even turning it off in the settings doesn't work. It is still being applied.

I understand that I can edit it, agreed, but tell me, with that I would need to individually fix every photo, what's the point of that?

I hope I've made my point clear this time. All i ask if, for the love of god, stop the automatic implementation of HDR or at least reduce /optimize its amount, or rather allow me to turn it off completely.
