What Settings can I use for my pictures to stay bright as they are when I capture before saving

Hello, thank you for using Howly.
Could you tell me please, on what device you are taking pictures?

iPhone 14 pro max

What troubleshooting have you done so far?

Customer Replay

I reset to factory settings
but it’s still the same
when I take pictures they look bright but immediately after saving they turn darker

The photo enhancing algorithm is built into your iPhone's chip. Your device automatically applies the filter to each and every photo you take. The culprit has a name: Deep Fusion. It could be the problem in your case.
Please go to Settings, select Photos, and disable View Full HDR. Take a new photo and check the results.
Please, follow the steps above and update me on the results.

I just did that. It’s not much of a difference 😢

First things first, try turning off the Full HDR option. Go to Settings, select Photos, and disable View Full HDR. Take a new photo and check the results. Hopefully, you’ll notice some improvements.

Please try this:
Use the Key Photo Option
Take a photo with Live Photo on.
Then navigate to Photos.
Select your live photo and edit it using the Key Photo option.
Basically, you’ll change the focus to a different point within the live photo. If you do that, iOS won’t auto-enhance the frame that you selected. That’s another way to access the original, unedited version of a photo.

Will I have to take my photos on live always?

I would recommend you to.

Ok thank you. Is there any way to enhance the brightness of pictures I take? I used an iPhone XS and the brightness was very good unlike 14 pro max
