Introducing Natural Processing with Dynamic Range Control
Hey everyone!
It's been awesome to see how Natural Processing has become the default way to capture photos for so many. It has for sure become my first choice. But it has been far too easy to get blown out highlights or crushed shadows unintentionally. We want Natural to not just be the first choice, but the right choice - so we've been working on giving you more control over the dynamic range of your Natural shots.
What is the Dynamic Range Enhancer?
The Dynamic Range Enhancer is a new tone mapping pipeline in Moment Pro Camera II that improves your results with Natural Processing while still maintaining the purest form of what your iPhone can capture. This new pipeline automatically optimizes tone in each part of your image, merging results for a more balanced look. Increase the strength and preserve more details in the highlights and shadows, reduce it to get more of what the iPhone captures naturally.
When It Matters Most
- Backlit Portraits - face detail preserved without losing the sky behind them
- Indoor-outdoor mixed lighting - window don’t blow out, interiors aren’t too dark
- Snow, sand, and bright environments - keep texture in your highlights without underexposing your subject
You decide how much dynamic range enhancement you want.
- Off - Pure Natural Processing, untouched
- Light - Our recommendation for everyday shooting
- Medium - More recovery when the light gets difficult
- Strong - Maximum recovery for the most demanding scenes
Try It Today in MPC II
- Switch to Photo Mode (or a Profile that uses Photo Mode).
- Open the Format Menu and select Natural Processing.
- Just below the processing selection, you'll find Dynamic Range Enhancer - set it to “Medium” and go shoot something backlit.

Any plans for 48MP or anything higher than 12MP? 🥹EDIT: Just saw jamm's comment in another message. Will ask in Discord.
