Samsung turns their screens and phone cameras to “vivid” processing by default (they do provide a “natural” toggle, to their credit).
I think over 90% of people don’t realize what they are seeing is not close to reality, and instead ask people with other phones, especially iPhones, why their screen or photo looks so washed out.
There’s many faults to BFDLs, but I love Apple providing “vivid” processing as an option and “natural” as the default. Sometimes the masses just don’t know what’s actually good for them.
- ygra 3y agoThe question is photos is whether people want something close to reality or would they rather have an exaggerated, arguably more beautiful version of reality to remember and share? I guess unless you're doing journalism, arguing for less processed photos may be a moot point, at least in phone cameras, as those are likely overwhelmingly often used for snapshots.
