My iPhone 11 Pro pictures look like they've been put through an artistic painting filter when you zoom in on them, it looks strange and smudged.

I also seem to have more trouble taking non-blurry pictures of my kids with my 11 pro vs my old 7. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but it's frustrating.

Can you show some zoomed-in examples?

This one from the article is a pretty good example. It looks like a photorealistic painting when you zoom in, and not just on the sky, like they point out in the article - the whole thing does. I'm really impressed with the 11 pro for stuff that gets viewed on the same medium it was created in, but the trade offs are very apparent when you look at things on a computer monitor.

    Those photos aren't straight out of the iPhone's image processing pipeline. From the article: > If we distort the contrast in an image, we can bring out the ‘watercolor artifacts’ in the clouds I think you missed that sentence. You posted the "distort the contrast" examples, which were hand edited to exaggerate any artifacts in the photo the iPhone had output. This is the photo that the iPhone gave the photographer: https://miro.medium.com/max/1800/1*oZgBZGHyxwMevHKiGfATiQ.jpeg https://miro.medium.com/max/1800/1*oZgBZGHyxwMevHKiGfATiQ.jp...

      >I think you missed that sentence. You posted the "distort the contrast" examples, which were hand edited to exaggerate any artifacts in the photo the iPhone had output I think you missed part of the subtitle. The one on the left has had contrast adjusted, the one on the right has not and matches the one you posted. The watercolor artifacts are just as visible on your link as they are on the right half of the picture I posted. I find them incredibly noticeable, even on your link.

I’ve observed on my iPhone X that photos taken with the OS camera app are more “painterly” or blurry up close than taken with ProCam, which I assume is an effect of the additional automatic processing done by the built in app.

Upgrade to iOS 13.2. They finally fixed the “watercolor” effect.
