Sounds like you know what you are talking about .. yes I like the Ferris wheel pic also .. I’m lucky to be close to Disney and Knotts so most of my pics are of that and family. Don’t have beautiful trees that change those amazing colors ?
Got a tip for us?

Thanks a lot for that explanation, that makes sense for someone like me that is not camera savvy. I usually go by just how the photo looks compared to what my eyes see. I just received the 13 Pro Max about 2 weeks ago after a long waiting time, coming from the 11 Pro Max which I still have and use it to compare. I noticed that compared to my 11 PM the 13 PM struggles with pictures that contain text and I put that on the aggressive de-noising and over sharpening that it has, and of course loss of distant detail which seemed odd to me until now. It does choose to use the wide camera instead of telephoto more often than the 11 PM and both look like paintings using digital zoom. Night mode is better on the 13 PM, miles sharper, but I am trying to get used to it being more real rather than bright as on 11 PM. Highlights are also blown often on the 13 PM and I saw that this is because of it's display as transferring the photo onto my 11 PM looks fine.
First pic is my favorite. Was there a sign in the toilet also ?

I understand that you know a lot about photography, and on a hobbyist level so do I, and it’s not only the hardware that is at fault.
This thread seems to branch out to other discussions, but the issues are still there with over-processed photos, photos getting cropped on main lens instead of using telephoto and sometimes blurry images.
Obviously not all issues with the cameras can be fixed with software updates, like lens flares. But options to for example turn of Smart HDR could probably improve the experience for a lot of users.
Yeah I can understand that. I do use an app called Moment and it doesn’t use smart HDR but will use ProRAW or JPEG. It seems to produce very likable images. Halide is another good app to use that doesn’t really incorporate much smart HDR either or none at all. And I’m sure I can provide you with some samples.
Glad I found this. Still trying to figure out why my 11 Pro takes better photos than my 13 Pro.
Does that get rid of or at least reduce the blurriness? I like this phone but the camera kind of sucks.
According to our own Ansel Adams, that post in this thread, is because:
“Most iPhone owners here aren’t trained photographers which results in badly executed shots. I’m beginning to think you guys are purposely looking for issues now”
I don’t see how the 11 pro takes better photos than the 13 pro, I gues a jpeg to jpeg comparison tells you. I think the 11 pro has 1.4 µm pixels and a much smaller sensor. The photo here shows the 12 pro max sensor compared to the 11 pro max sensor.. the 11 pro uses a smaller sensor than the 11 pro max. Anyway, I am sure Apple will fix the issue you guys are talking about with a software update. They will fix it and probably not tell us, the photos will just suddenly get better.. that’s my guess.
Well, I am definitely not a subject matter expert in photography.
I am not doubting your technical expertise, but the photos with my 13 Pro, especially up close, kind of suck. They look like they are straight from 2010, whereas they look great on my 11 Pro. At 2x Zoom and especially at closer distances, the 11 Pro is sharp whereas the 13 Pro is blurry. Text also looks much better with the 11 Pro in a picture.
Your closeup shots kind of suck? I hope not. Tell me, are you all looking at your photos beyond 100% on screen? Like 300% or even 400%? If so, you will see all kinds of flaws in the photo. Someone should post photos to a website in full resolution for the rest of us to look at. Is it a deep fusion issue? Apple says that deep fusion takes four photos before pressing the shutter, then another five to blend with the previous four… 9 shots all together. Maybe they aren’t lining up properly all the time… something to think on…

Lots of light pollution though. ISO 640
A photo of the stars is a good test for optical quality.

I know right! Scary looking bugger, like some kind of Kaiju in a monster flick. Could be an Assassin Bug or a Sweet Potato Bug or something else all together. Lol. Really no idea, what it is.
Thank you for your suggestion!
I took the picture without turning on the lights in my room, was on a phone call and basically not thinking.
It was about 1 in the afternoon on a bright sunny day, so bad angle and backlit. Kind of expected that the subject will look really dark.
Never knew that there was so much information retained that can be bought out by playing with the post editing options.
Now I can see how it’s legs are connected to the body, the full under carriage of the creature and even the full length of that mouth like part. Still scary but I think unique enough to share on the “Marco” thread.
Thanks again ToddH.

I’ve just been doing some back-to-back shots to test different settings. Turning off Lens Correction (Settings > Camera) definitely results in sharper shots on my 13 Pro. This setting only applies to the ultra wide and front facing lenses apparently. The feature is supposed to ”make images look more natural” according to Apple, but I couldn’t see any obvious difference apart from everything being slightly blurred!
I also found that the ”Warm” photo style seems to be more accurate in many of my photos, with the standard setting looking slightly too green.

13 camera AI still has serious bugs when it deals with multiple light sources. My iPhone 11 phone is much better than my family member 13 pro for this kind of photos. These kind of 13 pro photos look non sense sometimes.
Nice photo!
A photo of stars is a good test in some ways. There are Leica lenses that are brilliant for people photography but that produce horrible coma in astrophotography.
I still remember the first time I took a portrait mode shot with my 8 Plus. My son has one and I am still struck by how thin and light it is!
lol no. I had just got a haircut and was in the mens room attempting to wash all the clippings off (so I wouldn't be itchy until I got home to get a shower). I turned around was was like, "Dang, that's an impressive azz gasket."
I was completely unaware that there'd ever be a downside to larger pixels. I remember that the HTC One (M7) was praised for it's 2u pixel size and optical image stabilization (but was only 4mp).
You should handle a 7 Plus then. That phone was impossibly thin, yet still (barely) made it a day on a single charge.
I usually set exposure correction -0.3..-0.7 iPhone 13PM pulls information better from shadows than from lights.

Thin is better. Apple used to advertise thin. Remember that?
Now they conveniently forget to mention the thickness and weight of their phones.
