With rice, cucumber and kimchi :)

I had some eggplant laying around so I made them in a side with a miso glaze.

Looks good, but holy fuck phone camera smoothing filters are out of control

Uh? Camera filter? Are iPhone applying filters by default now?? The light and glaze my be what’s causing the image glow but I for sure don’t use filter.

Not a literal filter that the user controls. And yes, all smartphones automatically apply postprocessing, usually significant amounts of it.

Also I'm looking at the fried chicken picture, notably the rice, which looks a lot more like a blob than it does individual grains.

I was assuming that as long as I don't venture outside of the basic 'photo' mode that is would still be tame. It seems tame compared to what I'm getting out of my GoPro for comparaison.

~~Nah, they're both pretty heavy on the postprocessing. It's how tiny little sensors are able to take remotely decent looking photos at all. I think Apple biases more towards analog photo look than, say, Samsung (far bigger offender in this), but are by no means clear of postprocessing.~~

~~I think there's a way to take literal raw pictures on iphones. But, even then, you have to process the files in a software/app/program to get them to be jpeg/bmp/png or whatever. You should try it, have minimal processing, and see the difference.~~

~~Then realize that everybody's jamming AI into everything and nothing is real anymore and then go on a personal journey for authenticity.~~

Sorry :/ Just ignore me and all of this and enjoy your food. It looks delicious and the presentation is great.

np I love the subject. Though I'm... historically horrible at photo... I don't like having my mediocrity taken away from me by non-transparent processes. I remember I can access "raw" images but they are insanely large and I'm pretty sure I can't read that format outside of Gimp and such super complex softs.

Yeah it's not really worth it in most cases unless you're trying to min-max your phone, and even then, the space usage for phone internal memory is ridiculous. My initial comment is just cynical impersonal bleating into the ether, honestly.

If you're old enough, which, your mention of gimp suggests, there are videos around on YouTube of modern footage around in cities, but using 2000s or older camcorders and digital cameras. It's truly wild to see the difference. Comparing to that sort of un-binned, un-stabilized, and "un-graded/colored" footage is what I was essentially esoterically and pointlessly complaining about. Seriously, if I offended you, I genuinely do apologize, as that was neither my intent nor my direction of my complaint or criticism. I'll see to it that I'm more considerate of the person on the other end from now on.
