Can someone explain to me how the HDR process works on the new iPhone. What's the difference and why are there two pics?
HDR taks 3 photos 1 over contrast 1 normal & 1 under contrast. Then it combines the 3 photos together to give you what it thinks is a better photo; it leaves 2 photos behind to show you one without HDR and another with HDR. HDR can either make your photo better, or worse in my opinion.
It's honestly way better to use a high resolution like a dslr for photos rather than an hdr, but most people don't have those, obviously hence the hdr setting. I think it helps depending on the situation.
