Get your photos and clips looking their best
Tapping the Mono filter removes distracting color information so you can emphasize contrasting shapes and tones.
After shooting a photo or capturing a clip, you may need to tweak its color, tone and even composition. Fortunately, iOS 16’s Photos app boasts a powerful digital darkroom to counteract common problems. It can also process footage using the same tools, helping your clips to make the grade.
1TINTS AND CASTS
Capturing true colors can be a challenge due to the different color temperatures of light. Daylight can cause a shot to look too cold and blue, and artificial light can make some skin tones look too warm and orange. Your Camera app performs an Auto White Balance (AWB) operation to capture cast–free colors. If it can get white objects to be free of blue or orange casts, then the rest of the image will have cast–free colors too.
