The problem is that these images can be too perfect.
Process Zero’s creatorsbill it as"the anti-intelligent camera," and that’s a perfect description.
“AI-driven smartphone photography has dramatically shifted what people expect from their images.

Anti-Intelligent
A typical smartphone photo is, in fact, many photos.
Skies will be a beautiful blue, and so on.

But that’s not always what you want.
This photo would not be improved if the shadows were full of detail.Charlie Sorrel
In a way, it’s like the soap opera mode on modern TVs.
This is why photographers continue to use dedicated cameras,“professional photographerRachel Sue Boehm told Lifewire via email.
It also offers several raw photography options.
One control is all you need.Lux
Raw means that the camera records the raw data from the sensor.
This data is usually processed into a JPG or similar, and all the extra data is thrown away.
“That said, some processing improves phone camera images.
Lens corrections fix distortion, and adaptive exposure prevents blown highlights or blocked-up shadows.
Completely raw images would lack these corrections.
Process Zero keeps that raw data and turns it into a great image but without all the AI stuff.
The result is a moodier, less fantastic image, one that can still be edited quite extensively.
Because it isn’t processed so much, the resulting image will have less dynamic range andlike filmmore grain.
It will also have more detail.
You get precisely one editing control in the appan exposure slider, and it’s all you need.
If you want more, you’re free to share the raw image with your favorite editing app.
I much prefer the results, the detail, the mood, and the control.
