I just ignore them, those noise and grain. And then i started caring more about composition, environmental lightning and editing, and some other factors that make a photo good. I don't make money from photography, so i don't need my photos to be perfect. I learned resolution and noise aren't important, what emotions the photos bring is important. Because my mind is used to ask me " If you take this great photo that you love and reduce half of its resolution, add noise, grain. Would you still love it?". And my answer is always yes.

Hi

With my iPhone 12 camera settings everything is extremely vivid / sharp and I'm not happy with the output. Being honest it makes every imperfection look a billion times worse

On other cameras / old Samsung pictures look great but on iPhone everything is extremely vivid / sharp etc. Was much easier to change settings on Samsung phones as well

How can to reduce this on iPhone 12 camera? there appears to be very little filters other than brightness

Many thanks,

r/iphone on Reddit: Iphone 12 Pro Max portrait mode seems better than 16 Pro Max? Advice appreciated if there are settings to help with this.
January 15, 2024 -

Photo 1, 3 and 5 are from the 16 Pro Max and photo 2, 4 and 6 from the 12 Pro Max.

The portrait mode for Iphone 12 PM seems to be able to isolate the subject better from the background compared to the 16 PM. This is evident in the photos of the cups where the 16 makes it blurry.

I feel a bit disappointed with the 16 PM at the moment as I was expecting an improvement with the camera but feels like it got worse.
