iOS 13 saw a raft of improvemen­ts to the iOS Camera and Photos apps. There were new Portrait lighting effects, including a high-key mono filter, perfect for recreating magazine-style fashions shoots. And you can now edit auto-adjustment­s and filter by adjusting their intensity. And, all the effects you add to photos can now be applied to videos, too.

1 Shoot a slofie

You’ll need an iPhone 11, 11 Pro, or 11 Pro Max. Open the Camera app and activate the front-facing camera. Swipe right over the shooting modes until Slo-mo is highlighte­d. Tap the shutter button to start recording and tap it again when you’re done.

3 Use High-Key Mono

The High-Key Mono mode shoots the foreground in monochrome and bathes the background in white light.

Adjust the lighting in Portrait mode

Choose Portrait mode and the frontfacin­g camera. Tap any Portrait mode except Natural Light. Now, tap on the hexagon at the top of the screen. Use the slider beneath the image to adjust the light. Alternativ­ely, tap the colour icon to choose a different colour preset.

5 Alter the intensity of Auto Enhance

Tap on any photo in the Photos app. Tap Edit, then tap on the Auto Enhance icon (the one that looks like a magic wand). Use the slider to adjust the intensity of the effect. Or, swipe left and tap any of the other editing tools (Exposure, Brilliance, Highlights and so on) to adjust any effect independen­tly.

Tap Done to save the adjustment­s when you’re finished or tap Cancel (bottom left) to revert to the original photo. If you save your changes but regret your decision later – don’t worry. Select the image and again and tap Edit, then tap Revert (bottom right) to start over again.

6 Use the new perspectiv­e crop

In the Photos edit screen, tap the crop tool. Tap either the vertical or horizontal perspectiv­e tools at the bottom. Use the slider to adjust the perspectiv­e. Tap the crop options at the top of the screen and choose one - or tap Auto to let Photos decide for you. Tap Done when you’re happy, or click Cancel to revert back to the original uncorrecte­d image.

7 Create a long exposure

Open Photos, go to Albums and swipe up to see the Live Photos album. Tap it and tap a photo. Swipe up over the photo to reveal your Live options, which include Live, Loop, Bounce and Long Exposure effects. Choose Long Exposure and you’ll see the frames combine to create a long exposure effect.

8 Capture the image outside the frame

If you have an iPhone 11, 11 Pro, or 11 Pro Max, you can capture detail beyond the frame that is used when you make adjustment­s in Crop view. Go to Settings > Camera and choose Capture Outside the Frame. Now, you’ll have more flexibilit­y when changing perspectiv­e or cropping.
