Awesome video! Just got your presets can’t wait to try them out! One thing: you say in 16:9 ratio you get the full quality for instagram posts. You don’t. You are cropping in which means you lose pixels. Instead of a for instance 48mp picture you are getting a 36mp picture

Thanks for the nice video, Zak! I take photos with my 15 Pro Max because it’s always on me and quite simple to use. I set it on High Efficiency, 24 MP. That’s it. I don’t fancy PRO RAW anymore (I used to have a Canon EOS, Mark III and all the fancy lenses). My photos don’t need to be either incredible nor an art work and believe me, they are good. I use my iPhone App for post editing if need be (I quit Photoshop and Lightroom). I watched the video, because I’m always open to new things, but I realized this wasn’t for me. In 2018, I started using my iPhone for photography when I was in Paris. I never once regretted not having to lug my heavy equipment around. I took great photos along the Seine, inside museums and churches, never once thinking I missed a long lens… At night, from our hotel, I could choose some of my shots and share them with family and friends on FB.

No worries at all mate! Not everyone is looking to edit their iPhone photos or get the absolute most out of them. The photos from the stock iPhone settings still look incredible to say the least!

HEIF and HEVC are the way to go. Not only are the file sizes smaller, the image quality is superior. HEIF photos are 10 bit and 4:2:2 color space as opposed to 8 bit jpeg with 4:2:0 or less color space. HEVC (h.265) is, like HEIF, smaller and has better bit rate and color space. Unless you have a pc or Mac that is more than five years old, go with HEIF and HEVC.

I am pretty sure Portrait in photo mode just saves information IF you choose to add depth in post. It doesn’t take portraits in normal photo mode. I know LR also can apply depth in post with a gradient filter* Do you believe it affects picture quality leaving this on for say a landscape? or street photography?

Great video with great tips that i'll be incorporating for sure. I've always been afraid of lightroom and always justified it in my mind with the idea that a great photo won't need help to be great. I do admit that it's just an excuse not to learn a new software and ideology. however, I'm not sure if I'm alone in this thought, but I preferred the orginal picture to the finished product (the sample picture you were editing in lightroom). I think the edits you made were incredibly clean and made it look like some sort of utopic spire of a building. But man, something about that lightly grungy original shot struck me!

@Watzac 7 ай бұрын

Thanks for the feedback dude! At the end of the day it’s all personal preference right, I like to add a little something something to my shots and there is absolutely no need for anyone else to do so! Either way, it’s a good idea to playa round with Lightroom and learn what it can do to you photos just in case one day you need to fix something up!

@joshsmith72294 7 ай бұрын

Good video, but I think a bit off on the lens and crop info. You say to only use the 1x, 2x, and 5x buttons to avoid crop, but the 2x button is also a crop. Further, I believe anything between 1x and 2x is a sensor crop, not a post-capture crop. This means you're actually not losing optical image quality anywhere between 1x and 2x. If you look at the image info you'll see that shooting at 1x (24mm) is a 48MP photo, 1.2x (28mm) is 35MP, 1.5x (35mm) is 24MP, and 2x (48mm) is 12MP. Zooming between 0.5x and 1x will cause an image degrading crop, and so will zooming on anything above 5x (or 3x on the regular Pro model), but zooming between 1x and 2x doesn't degrade the image. 🙂

@onestepup9950 7 ай бұрын

Wouldn't it be the same cropping in a full 48MP photo to have a 2x zoom the same thing as sensor crop?

@joshsmith72294 7 ай бұрын

@@onestepup9950 Possibly? But I also feel like I notice a difference between taking the picture on 2x vs cropping in on a 48MP pic. It seems like the 2x looks better vs the post crop. My guess is it has to do with the image processing that Apple is doing, but I can't be sure.
