For the recently introduced iPhones XS and XS Max se Apple In addition to improving the processor, speakers and water resistance, it also focused on significantly improving the camera, which should now be able to take much better quality photos than before. However, after the start of sales of the new phones, disappointed users began to speak out, pointing out that miniThe front camera takes far less realistic photos than it did last year. According to many of them, it contains a kind of “Beauty mode” that significantly beautifies objects and especially people in photos. Whether and why this is the case is something that developer Sebastiaan de With, who is behind the popular photography app Halide, tries to find out.

Sebastiaan took a look at the front and rear cameras of both iPhone models, and found some interesting things. According to his research, this year's iPhones are revolutionizing the way photography is done. iPhone, because they rely more on software than hardware than ever before. The latter is now much more aggressive in reducing noise and other things that could reduce the quality of the resulting photo. Noise can be quite a problematic factor in today's cameras, as Apple according to the developer, he focused on a higher shutter speed of the camera, which brings with it higher noise. That's why he had to Apple reach for its more aggressive regulation.
This is how the iPhone XS front camera will make you look beautiful:
The merging of individual exposures and software adjustments of bright and dark areas also play a big role, which can lead to the feeling of artificiality in the photos. All the details that we are used to from iPhone photos are captured, but due to the software adjustments, we may not see them very sharply. When taking a photo, iPhone He himself selects the best elements from individual exposures, from which he then composes the photo, and this can be done inoneThis can ultimately lead to excessive perfection, where, for example, faces in selfie photos look much better than they actually are. In other words, bright areas can be darkened, dark areas can be brightened, and overall the photo should be adjusted to look as good as possible. Well, at least according to the evaluation of the camera software.

But the good news is that since this is a purely software issue, it shouldn't be a problem to fix it with a software update that would bring the noise reduction, brightness, and exposure compositing settings closer to real-looking photos again. It seems so Apple It is not yet clear whether she is determined to take this step. A statement from his side on this topic has not yet arrived.
Oh well, probably as good as an automatic beautifying skin filter
An all-out attack on Asian markets…
This is due to today's virtual world, where everyone tries to look and act much better than in reality. Time simply calls for it and Apple it goes against that. Maybe the trend will return to "normal" over time 🤔
I am happy with football. iPhone XS Max completely maxPeople and especially the competition are looking for something to destroy. Apple. Competitive fighting is pretty crap these days. And so Apple it simply makes the best phones, computers and for ordinary users it is the best it can be. I hope that there will be no "stupid" update to the camera and everything will remain as it should be. And as for other things, such as charging, a new product always needs to run, so everything is in order within a month.
So, most of all, enjoy the football 😂
In the article it is written about the process of creating a photo, that is, about the composition of different exposures, but this composition is done only after the shutter is pressed... however, in the video from unboxtherapy, from which you also put the screenshots, it can be seen that when he covers his face the image is blue and when it is shown the camera everything and the skin turns red... this has nothing to do with your description of exposure composition, but it's just a sloppy beauty/warm filter.
For me, the camera is a big disappointment so far. Not every time, but quite often the photo has faded colors, sometimes details are missing and often there is quite visible noise even in light. Xko was much better, I don't understand. :-(
