This is how one of my iPhone photos looks on Flickr in one of my albums. Sometimes I wait a while befor I stare at an iPhone photo to see if I want to monkey with it a bit more in editing. I try really hard to present a photo in a faithful photo with true color as I saw it in the moment I took the photo. It’s mighty tempting to boost the color because over the years I see more and more people doing this. The saturation is too deep or contrast too sharp. Landscapes are tricky because so many use HDR to heighten a fantasy appearance far more magical than reality. Or maybe I’m just not validating when someone else is seeing the image super pumped up as their own reality. #MyPhoto #MyPhotography #iPhone #Chalcedony #Rock

@cobalt123 Well, bear in mind that any mobile-phone camera, Apple or Android, heavily processes the bits that come off the sensor to try to approximate what it thinks you think you saw. I feel no guilt in processing my mobile-phone pictures or my real-camera shots to make them look more like what I remember seeing.
@timbray Glad to hear your thoughts on this, especially to echo mine. I wonder about Ai somehow becoming even more intrusive on native processes in camera/phone camera and also in the native apps that are provided as part of the Photos feature in these phones and other devices. I do know it’s utterly annoying to me to have to constantly avoid intrusive Ai in Photoshop image editing.
