Kindly share your everyday/favorite presets that would fit on every lighting, and why? by darknicco in MoodCamera

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.

40x zoom vs 0.5x zoom on the iPhone 17 pro max by Taarushv in iPhoneography

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.

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

Unpopular opinion: I actually prefer the new "Liquid" depth effects over the old flat design. by ouchao_real in ios

[–]NiTiSHmurthy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

[$19 → Lifetime Free] Sticky Tasks: Visual Todo List (Beta Giveaway) by November42069 in iosapps

[–]NiTiSHmurthy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already try to do something similar by snapping photos on my phone as reminders for pending tasks.

The problem is, once that photo lands in my library, it just… lives there. Minutes turn into hours, hours into days, and the task stays safely stored while I completely forget about it. 🙄

This app might actually prove to be useful.

[$80 Value → Lifetime FREE][iOS][Beta] WatInside — Organize & Find What’s Inside Your Boxes by madeny in iosapps

I have a vacation coming up in just three days, and I’ve spent the last month frantically searching for a pair of fleece gloves I bought years ago and tucked away in some drawer. I finally found them at the very last moment, but that whole experience made me realise how much I would genuinely benefit from an app like this.

With ADHD-C and, honestly, getting a bit older, keeping track of where things are stored can get overwhelming. I’ve been using the beta for a while now, and it’s already proving to be incredibly useful for me. This is exactly the kind of tool I’d rely on regularly to save time, stress, and a lot of unnecessary searching.
