On iPhone 16 models and newer, you can use Photographic Styles to adjust specific colors in certain parts of your photos to create the exact look you want. Photographic Styles can also be changed after shooting. Keep reading to learn how.
When you choose a default Photographic Style, it's saved and reflected across all of the photos you take, and you can make adjustments to it in the Camera app or edit it in the Photos app. Think of this capability as providing flexibility similar to ProRAW, though with less creative control.
Here's how to adjust photos taken in a Photographic Style after shooting:
- Open the Photos app on your iPhone 16 or newer.
- Choose a picture taken with a photographic style, then tap the Edit icon (it looks like three sliders).
- Tap Styles in the editing toolbar, then drag along the row of predefined styles to preview each one. Available styles include: Cool Rose, Neutral, Rose Gold, Gold, Amber, Vibrant, Natural, Luminous, Dramatic, Quiet, Cosy, Ethereal, Muted B&W, and Stark B&W.
- To adjust one of the predefined styles, simply tap it, then drag your finger on the dotted square to simultaneously adjust the tone and color. Drag your finger on the slider below the square to adjust the intensity level. When you're finished, tap a space on the screen to return to the editing tools UI.
- When you're happy with the result, tap Done.
Bear in mind that as you make adjustments to a photographic style, the values for tone, color, and intensity will be shown at the top of the screen. To reset these values, simply tap the circular arrow.
