Even the newest version of Lightroom seems to get the lighting better looking than before. I am not sure what they have changed, but I have been getting better looking photos from meh shots. Modern software seems to get things right more often than not. Even phone camera’s do better with lighting than my old Nikon D300.

Since phone cameras do a lot of behind the scenes adjustments, even when filters aren’t being used, that might be something to look at. For example, we have always allowed in camera photos however you can do a lot of “in camera” stuff with a phone such as panoramas, which…Read more
