I recently showed you here what an iPhone can do in portrait mode. One evening with Sue already abed and making funny noises which weren't exactly snoring and not quite blowing bubbles, I decided to see if the portrait mode on prints that hang on my wall would work
First, I focussed on Jonathan's portrait.
It worked. The phone recognized JJ as a human form. This is the result — unedited, btw.
Next was a group portrait of Sue with our two grown children. It was taken on an almost blizzardy day. Look how the phone version accentuates the snow, or maybe you won't see it at this resolution.
Finally, Dani.
Pretty interesting and impressive, whatever you think of phone photography in general. BTW, the hanging prints do look much better on the wall than they do here. The point was to demonstrate the phone's unique capability and not to highlight the original prints.
I love the look of them all.
ReplyDeleteInteresting effect. Does that mean you could take your grandson and add him to the other photo?
ReplyDeleteThat is compositing, a separate but possible thing that I have done in the past.
DeleteMy daughters have shown my on an iPhone anyway, how I can tap on a picture like yours above and create a sticker of a human. Then I can open up another picture and add that sticker, in essence compositing all in my iPhone camera app.
DeleteI've done a couple of stickers but no compositing. My wife has a separate app for compositing, but she does a lot of it -- not with stickers though.
DeleteThese are terrific! Love how this is working!
ReplyDeleteI really do need to explore my native iPhone camera app more. I know I am only scratching the surface of what it can do, even with what my daughters have taught me.
ReplyDeleteiPhone is the only one I've ever owned and I have no clue of the possibilities. I'm going to spend some time trying to learn. Thank you for opening this up to me.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much that my iPhone can do that I'm ignorant about. Perhaps I should take a class!
ReplyDeleteI have never used my phone's camera. it feels so intimidating.
ReplyDeleteI like to do this to make "stickers" to paste on text messages for extra oomph! lol
ReplyDeleteThat is such an interesting thing to have on your phone. My phone is old and doesn't have any of those kinds of features but I'm hoping to get a new one pretty soon.
ReplyDeleteThat's amazing! I wonder if my phone will do that
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing what can be done on the iPhone. I use mine for all my photo taking, unless it's for wildlife where I need some zoom. Great photos of your family and I enjoyed the effects.
ReplyDeleteThe technology is indeed impressive.
ReplyDeleteI had the hardest time figuring out how to do this on the portrait mode. I did it with an orchid though which turned out pretty good. Granted, I promptly forgot how I did it. Daaang! My memory is terrible!
ReplyDeleteIt may not work all that well if you are not photographing a person.
DeleteNice! I haven't found anything like that on my phone but I wonder if it's hiding in there somewhere?
ReplyDeleteThe cleanup of the Dani shot really improves it, in my opinion. I like the enhancement of the light in the mom and daughters shot. Yes, interesting. I struggle with my camera phone and am in awe of what you can make yours do for you.
