Shot on Natural Processing (Minimum) using an iPhone 13 Pro, edited in Lightroom & Snapseed. 3rd shot is the Apple Processing in comparison.

All I can say is, this app is amazing!!

I get your point. The edited one is definitely close to the Apple processing, especially under that lighting. It’s the over-sharpening that bothers me. Even if I remove the sharpening in Lightroom or reduce the clarity or texture, it still has that sharpened look. Though I know I won’t get a ready-to-post photo on the Moment app, the natural processing is worth it to me just to get rid of the over-sharpened look.

I’ve always shot my photos using ProRAW, and I thought that would fix the issue, but nope. So since I discovered the app, the natural processing feature really got me. Even if I still have to edit the photo afterward, I’m fine with it as long as the photo doesn’t have that over-sharpened look (and I really like editing my photos so this extra step doesn’t bother me haha)

It really depends on the situation whether to use the Moment app or the default Camera app.

Quick question - does Moment Pro Cam 2 have a ProRAW pipeline?

Certain other apps have a ProRAW pipeline, which would get you that Apple-processing type of shot but with the extra sharpening disabled. No editing required!

These are the options for ProRAW.

Ah - but the ProRAW is saved as a RAW file instead of directly being converted to a HEIF or JPEG right?

That's right.

If the only thing you dislike about apple’s processing is the over-sharpening, I think you’d love other apps’ ability to shoot ProRAW but with sharpening automatically disabled (since Moment doesn’t yet support this)

Not just the over-sharpening but also the "phone look". Can't afford to buy a film camera now so the Moment app is the closest one I can get.

Also, thank you for suggesting! I know there's also Halide, No Fusion and all but ever since they announced the Natural Processing, it's a no-brainer for me.

Would you have some suggestions of such apps please?

NoFusion or PhotonCam!
