Hi,
Yesterday I got my iPhone 13 Pro and I have been testing the camera. Tell me, is this normal or is my 13 Pro camera wrong?
No that’s normal. HDR4 as well as other improvements have been implemented.
What photo profile are using? If you know.
If you don’t want this, your only other option is to use ProRaw and edit them in Lightroom or another editing program.
are you using Normal style on Ip13 pro ? It looks like you are on Rich Contrast style.
!3 Pro photo looks a 1000x better, look at all the detail in your dogs hair compared to the XS, amazing.
Looks like somebody yanked the "clarity" slider to the right, which some people like, but it is on the overcooked side in these examples.
It is really that. I am thinking purchase Halide 1 year. Maybe in iPhone 13 Pro will be interesting.
I have noticed the same issue on my 13pro. It does not do it to portrait mode just regular mode and I tried different photographic styles and it does the same thing no matter the style. If you view the photo in the gallery you see the live photo before it applies this over hdr/clarity crunchy processing and the pics look so much better before. There is another thread on this from someone else seeing the issue and wondering if it is just the 13 pros or all models. It does the same thing to my dog pics as the OP and makes them look awful as well. Here are two pics one taken in portrait mode and the other in regular photo mode no edits were done, the regular photo is so over sharpened and the details/contrast cranked up way to high

I just tried turning live photos off since it seems to happen when you view the image in live photos and it now seems to not be applying the crunchy filter.

That’s interesting 🤔 Turning Live Photos off is the first thing I do in the camera so I haven’t noticed anything
They do look very over sharpened. I did not have a XS, but I did hav an 11 pro max. Comparing the two, I do Not have that level of sharpening in my images. In low light that may be expected, but some of those photos appear to be taken in decent enough lighting. Maybe a trip to the genius store would be a good idea
Just checked and...well damn that kind of sucks. I hope it comes back. Does RAW stop auto HDR?
