Is there a way to downsize photos after taking them? The filesize for standard 1x shots now with the new 15PMs are too big for the forums.

Out for a walk with my weighted vest doing some testing for my small YT channel 🤣. I love Fall weather and the 15PM. No regrets upgrading from 14PM that I gave my Dad.

One of my cats, Pig. 5x zoom portrait mode.

And a macro shot of my ring.

Overall I’m very impressed with the few photos I’ve taken since my 15 Pro Max arrived today. I can’t wait to capture more photos of my pets and more macro shots as well!

Excellent! It looks like the 14 Pro Max doesn’t stack the images to avoid star trails and the 15 Pro Max looks like it does. I just noticed this with your examples. Have you verified this?
I don't know what it's doing internally, but yes, the stars are sharper and have trails on the 14PM, but are round on the 15PM, also the bushes are a little less sharp on the 15PM. With the 15PM it seems to be aligning/ tracking on the stars.
I didn't have a tracking mount, just a tripod, otherwise the stars would be sharper.
Also I should mention that both the phones have the latest iOS, 17.0.2, so they apparently only do the new processing on the 15PM, not the 14PM.

Loving the 5x, but only in daylight

Nice candid shot.

If you use a third-party app, like Halide, or ProCam, or Moment, the 5X camera does work good when hard selected by one of these third-party apps in low light. What issues do you normally see when Using the 5X camera in low light? I do know that if it’s too dark, the 1x Camera takes over and crops at a 5X equivalent to make it look like you’re shooting with the 5X. I am also enjoying the 5x Camera.

During the 3 minutes where I told myself I wasn’t going to upgrade, I was thinking 5x would be useless to me. Now I absolutely love it.
