Taking pictures, grey overcast, brightening distorts image.

I updated my phone to ios 27 and now my photos I take are dull, photo editing isnt right, the background is grey overcasting when I take macro photos and when i brighten or add brillance it distorts the image. I’m so upset because it involves my work.. any suggestions?

We will need to know what phone you have, if Pro etc.


Macro photos are ultra close-up. The overcast sky should not be in there!

Yes, I’ve several suggestions. Please share examples of your work so we have a visual reference. Also include the EXIF data if possible so we can see the exposure settings. Lastly if you can include some before and after examples so we know what you’re starting with and what your end goal is. Thanks! Looking forward to seeing some of your work.
