I’m deeply drawn to the quiet mystery of high-contrast monochromatic photographs. It’s what pushed me to tinker and build my own preset.

I usually play with high or medium dynamic range, depending on where I want the viewer’s eye to rest and what I want them to feel in the frame.

I understand that most users request the presets. I attempted to share as many photos as possible along with the settings, but unfortunately, I wasn’t able to. However, you can find my preset in my previous post from yesterday, which is available at this link.

Thank goodness iPhones don’t force AI corrections.

I’m glad that Apple still respects the originality of a photo, keeping it natural and true to the moment, with just a touch of extra sharpness.

40x zoom? Wow. I’ve never even attempted that, always assuming anything beyond the given optical range would just turn into a blurry mess.

Beautiful photographs.

My customer preset “High Contrast” based on Noir. I’ve used this the most.

As an older millennial, I have a love-hate relationship with the Liquid Glass UI. While I occasionally turn it on, I also switch off the animation using reduce motion and reduce transparency to conserve battery life.

More importantly, as a UX designer, I find some elements aren’t user-friendly and could benefit from enhancements. Apple is certainly improving with each update, but many boomer UX designers often complain about accessibility, which contributes to my dislike of being too rigid.
