@chrismessina Thank you for hunting @chrismessina! We’re super excited to get this out in an era of more and more processing and AI in our photography pipeline. Giving you total control over what level of processing you get with every shot is just the beginning for us: this is, after all, our first homegrown process pipeline. We’d like to offer photographers total creative control, and with processing in your iPhone camera taking increasingly creative choices for you, this puts you back in that editor’s seat. It’s just one more tool — and we hope to expand it to higher resolution captures and a more modular approach to the capture pipeline in the future.

@renchu_song I like to describe it as ‘film-like’ — and if you recall film, it has a particular ISO. The same kind of goes for raw sensor data and single exposure shots on a tiny iPhone camera. Once it gets dark, the noise goes up — with some manual tweaks (and the magic of your camera stabilization) you can still get some fantastic shots, but the strength of computational photography is that it lets you get shots you can’t otherwise get. This is a great way to remind you of its benefits :) I shot mostly ProRAW at night before this, opting for that over night mode since it was less processed. I found it surprising how often I still enjoyed the P0 shots near or after sunset. But you’ll want to check and review your shots - the viewfinder on iPhone does do computational processing, so you can’t see the noise in your shot.
