Camera, Photos and video
Master your media with great editing features and effects In the Camera app, tap Portrait, then the front-facing camera icon, then swipe over the Portrait modes until you see High-Key Mono. Tap the shutter.
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.
