Maybe it's just me but I think that photo of the motorcycle is fantastic. If that wasn't the real color, were you using a filter or a profile?

Send feedback to Apple including the photo you took and point them to the brochure and what the color of the bike should look like. Open a case with Apple Support is another option.
Hi all. I have reached out to the Halide dev team via Reddit to ask when their technical blog post will go up about the 13’s camera system.
They hope to have it live by the end of next week.
So you all can get more answers then.

Anyone shifting the key photo for the live photo as a workaround, aren't you actually selecting a frame of video when you do this rather than another photo? I thought the live photo worked by constantly capturing a short roll of video when you have the camera open, and when you press the shutter button it records the video from immediately before and after as the live photo, which is then paired to the actual photo. So it wouldn't really be a workable substitution. Or am I wrong about how it works?
It definitely isn’t a workable solution but it’s all we got ? outside of raw and 3pt apps
Another option is to shoot bursts (holding volume up key). The processing in burst is different, not that “smart”. I saw this when taking selfies with the timer…
Also for portraits if you don’t want to look Chinese white, it’s better to underexpose -0.3 or -0.7, you can go in camera settings to keep this setting unchanged every time you open the camera. This helps with the overexposed look for portraits.
Also as I said before, go for rich contrast as style to get (a bit) rid of the hdr that the camera does almost all the time.
But yes I was trying ProShot yesterday and is much better.
Shooting with the main camera app, I like the pics from my X better than thr 13 pro max (portraits), but using ProShot, I like the 13 pro max better
Is this happening on iPhone 12 Pro cameras? Is this an issue with iOS 15 or hardware specific to iPhone 13?Another option is to shoot bursts (holding volume up key). The processing in burst is different, not that “smart”. I saw this when taking selfies with the timer…

Photos from iPhone 13 are made too sharp in post-processing. Ironically in the camera settings you can only make the images more sharp (the slider starts at zero and only goes up)
This is in part because influential reviewers on YouTube compare different smartphones by zooming in on photos to compare "levels of detail". The winners are decided by photos with the most sharpness and clarity, not how pleasing they are to the human eye. So you end up with flat, high ISO post-processed images.

On Halide, is this with settings - capture settings - "enable smartest processing" basically disable this one ?
Can anybody make side by side comparison between native camera app and Halide quality of the JPEG photos from 13Pro ?

Default settings on both apps. Wide. Autofocus = ON. No edits. JPG (Sorry, I don't shoot on RAW)

Camera App looks just fine to me? My woman looked and said the default camera app makes it more sharper and the colors pop slightly.

Yeah, I'm not seeing differences between the two here. Maybe there's less noise (in a good way) with the default camera app.
I have been having issues with the iPhone 13 Pro Max camera as well. Not sure if related to the post-processing, but something is very wrong. I think the issues started with iOS 15.1.
Thanks for the comparison!
I don’t see any differences besides exposure in some cases.
I just bought firstlight and I’ll be doing some non-scientific comparisons over the next weeks.
With halide you have the option to turn off smart processing, with it on it should show the same results, the difference being in the shooting with manual controls.
This video sheds light on the whole proraw processing pipeline, helped me understand a lot more about what the cameras are doing:
No Photo or profile that I can remember. The photo itself is fine, but the bike should be orange, not red.
