They wanted a photo set with depth and retro emotion, but the budget did not allow for hiring a professional photographer. We suggested using the iPhone 14 Pro combined with the Kodak Ektar 100 film preset in VSCO. As a result, the images achieved moderate sharpness, warm artistic colors, and the number of saves on the Instagram post increased by over 280% compared to the previous period.<\/p><h3>Apply RAW shooting and advanced post-processing features<\/h3><p>One of the significant breakthroughs on the iPhone is the ability to shoot RAW photos\u2014a format usually only available on DSLR or mirrorless cameras.
