When you take a photo with an aspect ratio other than 4:3, the original 4:3 image is also saved by default. This allows you to retrieve cropped areas and adjust the framing after the photo has been taken. The iPhone sensor captures in 4:3 format. Therefore, when 4:3 is selected, the full sensor is used, allowing for maximum resolution. All other aspect ratios are achieved by cropping the image.
Configure how to save non-4:3 aspect ratio images:
- Open ProCamera Settings.
- Tap Edited Version (General Options).
- Tap Capture Aspect Ratio to choose your preferred saving option (see below for what each does).
Note that this setting only applies for capturing photos with an aspect ratio other than 4:3.
These are your options:
| Save Both Versions | Non-destructive workflow. Saves both the original (4:3 image) and the edited version (non-4:3 image). |
| Save Edited Version | Saves only the edited image in the currently selected aspect ratio (according to your viewfinder preview). Choose this option to save disk space, since no additional 4:3 photo is saved. |
| Save Original | Saves only the original photo in a 4:3 aspect ratio. When an aspect ratio other than 4:3 is currently selected, the viewfinder image only serves as a preview of how the scene would appear in that aspect ratio, but no cropping is done automatically. |
In Portrait camera mode or when shooting with Auto Perspective Correct (APC), a non-destructive workflow is used by default.
When using "Save Both Versions", the way images are stored differs depending on whether you have selected Camera Roll/Recents or (Private) Lightbox as the Save Location. In Camera Roll/Recents, both versions are saved as one entry, whereas in (Private) Lightbox, they are saved as two separate images.
