iPhone 11 Pro IOS 13.2 Deep CON-Fusion

There is some decent discussion on it in this thread.

High Efficiency vs Most Compatible

So I've always had my photos set to Most Compatible. Just wondering your own personal experiences if you have used both? Is there quietly loss with High Efficiency? Also, if you set video to 4k 60 Frames Per Second. It says you must use high efficiency. But do you have to have high...

Thanks for the link, got my answer from this post:

High efficiency (HEIF) is a modern compression algorithm that both does a better job preserving details and results in a smaller file. It also allows for a larger 16-bit color space instead of the 8-bit space allowed with a JPEG. Any iPhone camera from the iPhone 7 on captures “wide color” (display P3) images. These contain 10-bit color so your are automatically throwing color information away if you save it in Most Compatible (JPEG) format. HEIF also allows for non-destructive editing without having to save a new file each time. The only real downside to HEIF is that most of the rest of the world doesn’t use it. But, it’s not too hard to convert from HEIF to JPEG with an app.

Look at it this way, if you save your pictures in HEIF, you get all the benefits of better detail retention, full color reproduction, and a smaller file size while still retaining the option to convert to JPEG at a later time. If you save straight to JPEG, there is no way to get back the detail and color information that is thrown away. And you’re left with a larger file at the same time.

This is just a way for Apple to ensure our photos are way bigger and fill up our storage quicker so we need to upgrade storage tier next time
Clever lot

There is a difference, its just very subtle and mainly with high textures and fabrics. You will see it more clearly on your monitor/computer screen than on a phone.

Can you elaborate more on this please? any sources or experiences?

Image quality
HEIF has a higher depth than JPEG. As HEIF uses a 16-bit deep color, while the JPEG is only 8-bit which is smaller by at least two-fold. To be clear, devices that support HEIF format can capture more colors provided by the 10-bit color output present in cameras. What's more, the editing function of HEIF format is more powerful than that of JPEG. On iOS 11, iOS 12 or later, you are able to rotate and crop a HEIF image without resaving or altering the image. Such edits will be undoable in the near future. While JPEG cannot support non-destructive editing feature, which is a disadvantage compared with HEIF."

Agreed that as per the comments we should call this feature "Deep Confusion"...

I feel that Apple should pulls some extra information/data/flag against any pic taken with Deep Fusion. Hopefully this will come with a new update.

2^(3*8) = 16,777,216
2^(3*16) = 281,474,976,710,656
Yeah, that's at least two-fold.

I use the eltaMD (in the photo).

Stuff is expensive but man does it work. It's a dry SPF.

Surprisingly, in my limited testing so far the Deep Fusion HEIC files are smaller.

I imagine that is due to less noise in the photo due to the Deep Fusion process.

I have a question, I read that deep fusion with the beta, create a file about 10 mb, is it true?
Because In this topic I read and find in my photo all the clues to have deep fusion photo but the file and the resolution aren’t bigger than the normal photo.

Here's the thing - any high end phone camera from the past couple of years all already take pictures that are near perfect for the everyday real world. So even though it's possible to blow the pictures way up to find some differences, there's no actual difference in real world results. Photos can't be more perfect than perfect.

Searching some clue of deep fusion I see a variation in camera app when it shoots a deep fusion photo ...

I made 2 screenshot, I am sorry for the shot, it is a test ... help me to see if it is real or a coincidence...

Not deep fusion, ultrawide preview

Yep, though the camera only provides 10 bits so the rest is theoretical for now

i think you’ve nailed it. I see that in the camera app too.

You know when it’s deep fusion as when you go into the picture straight after the picture jumps
