‘Process Zero’

I’ve been impressed with Halide’s “Process Zero” camera mode, which shoots RAW photos, but tones down Apple’s default aggressive noise reduction. It also lets shadows be shadows and highlights be highlights. I fine-tuned these photos a bit in Lightroom, so they were less contrasty, but they already looked great as-is.

As Halide say in their post, this mode doesn’t work as well for low-light environments, when the iPhone works wonders to create a usable photo out of its relatively small camera sensor.

Also: yes, my cat sometimes looks demonic, but he actually loves being in front of the camera!
