BYD has found a golden opportunity with the plug-in hybrid. Aware that electric vehicles are not advancing at the expected pace in Europe and that they have to make a jump in sales on our continent, the DM-i, their well-known plug-in hybrids, seem the best option to expand that customer base. The last to arrive is the BYD Atto 2 DM-i, the plug-in hybrid version of the one that until now It was only sold as an electric car. Its credentials are the same as always: autonomy of over 1,000 kilometers. We do not know its price at the moment but until now BYD has opted to make its cars a clear commitment to providing the most complete equipment at a reasonable price. Technical data sheet of the BYD Atto 2 DM-i BYD Atto 2 DM-i Body type. Five-seater SUV. Measurements and weight. Measurements to be confirmed Trunk. To be confirmed. Maximum power. To be confirmed WLTP consumption. WLTP consumption to be confirmed. Total autonomy of 1,020 kilometers Electric range of 90 kilometers. Environmental distinctive. Zero emissions. Driving aids (ADAS). Mandatory by the European Union. Electric hybrid. No. Plug-in Hybrid. Yeah. electric. No Price and launch. Pre-sale available in the month of November Delivery of the first units in the first quarter of 2026 A clear commitment to increasing customers BYD continues to expand its offer. In just over two years, the Chinese company has gone from landing with three flashy electric cars. Today, they already have nine cars in their range and they have completely redefined it. From betting solely on electric vehicles to having a good presence of plug-in hybrids. From playing with their most premium vehicles to choosing to open the market at a lower price. He BYD Atto 2 DM-i It will be one of the bets that sums this up perfectly. In this plug-in hybrid version, there are hardly any aesthetic changes. The company talks about a larger front grille and some minor changes such as the absence of side grilles on the fenders or a new emblem on the tailgate. This DM-i version will feature an exclusive Midnight Blue color. Regarding its equipment, the Chinese company has not offered details but we can expect few changes because its base models always come with great equipment. It remains to be seen if they repeat the configuration with their rotating 10-inch central screen or change something in that regard. Likewise, we can expect all the mandatory driving aids required by the European Union, with emergency braking, the rear camera or the speed warning assistant by default. All in all, and although it has not been revealed, it is very likely that we will also see it arrive with adaptive cruise control, a system that BYD has included in all its vehicles. The company boasts a propulsion system that should provide a range of 1,020 kilometers. If you choose to drive only in electric mode, the range will be 90 kilometers. This allows the car to take advantage of offers from the MOVES III Plan as if it were an electric one, that is, they can reach up to 7,000 euros in discount. The pre-sale is expected in November and that will be when they reveal the price. At the moment the electric version is sold for 25,790 euros before aid from the MOVES III Plan, so we can expect a very reasonable price.

A man had access to the Government’s nuclear secrets. Until he uploaded thousands of porn photos to his work computer

by

Using your work computer for personal things is a delicate area that can be reason for dismissal. This worker from the US Department of Energy has discovered it by force after uploading hundreds of thousands of pornographic images on his company computer. What has happened? They tell it in 404Medium. In March 2023, the employee wanted to back up his photo collection. He thought he was uploading the images to his personal hard drive, but it was connected to his work computer and he ended up making the copy where it wasn’t. The problem is that it was not a normal collection of photos, but more than 187,000 pornographic images that he had been collecting over several decades. Although he did not lose his job, his mistake has had consequences and the main one is that he has lost his security clearance. To train AI. The employee defended himself by arguing that this happened during a depressive episode in which he felt “extremely isolated and alone.” One of his distractions at this stage was creating images with AI, specifically “robotic porn.” At first he used his cell phone, but tired of using such a small screen, he thought it was a good idea to upload all his pornographic images to the computer to train the AI. The problem is that he did not upload them to his hard drive, but rather they ended up on the network of a government company. Goodbye accreditation. The employee did not realize his mistake until six months later. It was the time it took his bosses to investigate the origin of that enormous amount of porn photos flooding their servers. The result was that his security clearance was withdrawn. The Department of Energy is the in charge of supervising the US nuclear arsenalso we are talking about access to very sensitive information. The worker appealed to get it back, but after an exhaustive investigation, they decided not to return it. If he had not appealed, the story would not have been made public. My boss spies on me. It is one of the reasons that the man presented in his appeal, which compared the investigation to “the Spanish Inquisition.” What does the law say about this? According to expertsAlthough they let us use it for personal things, we should not expect to have privacy on a company-owned computer. Some companies even pre-install software to measure the time employees work. Control programs. Can they force you to install one of these programs? A few years ago we talked about installing software to control the work of remote employees and Joaquín Muñoz, an expert lawyer in digital law, resolved our doubt: the company cannot force us to install a program of this type if the computer we use to work is ours, but if it belongs to the company they can do so. Of course, they are obliged to report in detail about all the functions of said software.

In the 19th century they were not particularly sad, but no one smiled in the photos. Although they had reasons for it

by

It’s strange to come across a current photo in which no one is smiling. If we see her, we assume that something is happening: either she wants to give a serious image, or something happens that we don’t know about, or the intention is precisely to go against it, not to smile. However, there was a time in which the usual thing was not to do it, not to show the slightest emotion in the photographs. What is the reason for this attitude? Were they so sad in the victorian englandSpain at the beginning of the century and so on? Actually, there is a very simple explanation. The exhibition. We all know that in the early days of photography, that is, between about 1840 and 1880, cameras required people to remain completely still for several seconds, or even, in the most primitive photos, minutes. Maintaining a natural smile for so long was uncomfortable, and fatigue ended up turning a natural smile into a stiff grimace. Furthermore, any movement resulted in a blurry image, which ran the risk of the model appearing in the photo with a blur on his face like a specter from beyond the grave. Hence the much simpler and more accessible custom of remaining with a relaxed gesture. Decent photographs. But there came a time when photographs did not require more than a moment of exposure, and there were still models with long faces. What was it due to? In reality it was not a technical question, but rather a question of how photography was understood. Perhaps with a vision inherited from when a portrait was a canvas that took days to create, required effort for the painter and model, cost money and could not be reproduced, but rather remained a unique piece. For all this, the portrait was clothed with a certain solemnity. It didn’t matter that these new portraits were much simpler and faster to do: They preserved the aura of dignity and special occasion of the oil paintings. Example: the dead. The legendary photos of the deceased or post-mortem photography They are a perfect example to understand how the medium was perceived for a time. They were a surprisingly common practice during the 19th and early 20th centuries and had a very clear purpose: being still a medium that was not widespread, photography was the only opportunity that many families had to preserve a portrait of the deceased, since they had not been able to do it while they were alive (and with the high infant mortality rate of other times, even more so). Furthermore, with this aura of dignity and pomp that the photograph had, it was incorporated into the elaborate mourning process. Victorian. Smile bad. In the 19th century, smiling openly in public or in portraits was often associated with frivolity, lack of seriousness, or even drunkenness. Educated and respectable people maintained a serious composure. If you have ever seen material from the tone period, let’s say, libertineyou will see what contagious smiles. It’s not that in the 19th and early 20th centuries people didn’t know how to smile: it was the circumstance in which photos were taken. That is why photos have been found taken in more familiar settings, at parties with very close relatives or close friends, where some of this rigidity is lost and people smile widely. Smiling badly, part two. And if we started with a reason as prosaic as “it’s easier not to smile than to smile,” we ended up with another equally practical reason: smiles one hundred and fifty years ago were terrible. The dental hygiene It was much worse than today and the dentures were full of holes, at best. When it came to passing on to posterity, it was normal for the models to decide not to show their teeth.

Come, come…and I brought electric, gasoline and hybrid versions. This is what Jaecoo could say about his arrival in Spain and, more specifically, about the Jaecoo 5the new SUV from the Chinese company. A compact option that allows the firm to open the market right where they can do the most damage. And the compact SUV market is one of the most competitive in Europe. If not the most. Jaecoo’s proposal, of course, goes directly to the heart of the European consumer’s doubts. Two cars that, each in its own way (and little trick) will sell right on the border of 20,000 euros. Jaecoo 5 technical sheet Jaecoo 5 Body type. Compact five-seat SUV. Measurements and weight. 4.38 meters long, 1.86 meters wide and 1.65 meters high. Wheelbase of 2.62 meters. 1,521 kg weight for the gasoline version. 1,785 kg weight for the electric version. Trunk. 480 liters in both versions. Maximum power. 147 HP in the gasoline version. 211 HP for the electric version. WLTP consumption. 7.0 l/100 km for the gasoline version, according to WLTP. 16.5 kWh/100 km for the electric version and 402 kilometers of autonomy, according to WLTP. Environmental distinctive. C and Zero emissions. Driving aids (ADAS). Mandatory by the European Union. The brand refers to 19 ADAS aids such as adaptive cruise control with lane change and lane maintenance assistant. Automatic lights, emergency braking with rear cross traffic alert or safe door opening warning. Others Screen for the 8.88-inch instrument panel and 13.4-inch central screen. Infotainment system compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay (wireless). Head-Up Display. 50 W wireless charger. 540º camera for use off road. Heated and ventilated seats in front. Heated steering wheel. Panoramic roof. Electric hybrid. First deliveries in 2026. Plug-in Hybrid. No. electric. Yeah. Version with 211 HP, 60 kWh battery and approved range of 402 kilometers. Price and launch. Gasoline and electric versions now available. Gasoline: from 27,500 euros without discounts (the brand advances a promotional price of 19,990 euros) Electric: from 35,500 euros without discounts or aid (the brand advances a promotional price of 19,990 euros in which discounts and aid are added) In the clear Last April, my colleague Javier Lacort went to China to go to the Shanghai Motor Show. There he was already able to test the Jaecoo 5 EV, that is, the completely electric version of the Chinese compact SUV. Then he said about the car that it was “the SUV that no longer asked for permission”. Now, having upgraded to its electric and gasoline versions (the hybrids will arrive in a few months), I understand perfectly what he was referring to. “The finishes, another symptom of maturity, point in the same direction. There are no luxuries, but there is discretion“My partner said then and I think that phrase largely sums up what this car is. The company puts these versions on sale with a starting price of 27,500 euros for the gasoline version and 35,500 euros for the electric version. But its motto is different: you can have either of the two from 19,990 euros. The first with a launch campaign that has very clear ideas: sell as much as possible from the start and make the car visible, there will be time to remove the promotional discounts at the start. The second takes advantage of MOVES III Planbut that would leave the car at a maximum of 28,500 euros. That is why the company applies another discount to which Repsol also adds to put it below 20,000 euros. With that price, of course, it is almost impossible to compete. And the Chery Group is attacking with Omoda and Jaecoo to an audience that wants a car with a modern look on the inside, decent finishes and a price with which European rivals cannot (or are not directly interested) compete. Between 20,000 and 25,000 euros in a size similar to the Jaecoo 5, almost everything is Chinese proposals: DFSK, EVO, MG, DR Automobiles… And the European ones (Citroën C3, Peugeot 2008 or Dacia Duster) are not up to par in the quality of the materials used. Because, as we have said on other occasions, Chinese brands are winning over the customer at the dealership. As I will tell you later, I reaffirm myself, a Dacia Duster moves better and is very likely to consume less gasoline. But its hard plastics wherever you look and touch cannot be compared with the subtle padding spread across the doors and dashboard of this Jaecoo 5. Nor with a finish that, from the start, comes with a 13.2-inch central screen and 2K resolution, a multifunction steering wheel with a pleasant touch (and a rarely seen horizontal double radio formula), wireless CarPlay and Android Auto and heated front seats, in addition to up to 19 security systems. ADAS driving aids. For little more we add synthetic leather, ventilation for the seats, heated steering wheel, panoramic roof, electric trunk, Sony sound system with eight speakers, 50W wireless charger (with ventilation) and 540º rear view camera (you can see what is under the car), which will also reach the basic package in the hybrid versions. Tell a customer who comes from a car that is more than 10 years old and in the midst of rising market prices not to get caught up in an interior like that. More so if that car has an advertised entry price of less than 20,000 euros. And how is it going? In our case we had the opportunity to get into the electric and gasoline versions on a round trip of about 140 kilometers for each of the cars. The vast majority of this route was done on the highway and we barely touched secondary roads. It is worth pointing out this because we would have to put the vehicle’s dynamism to the test more although I did return with the feeling that, in that brief contact, I found the electric version more pleasant. and interesting… although I understand that gasoline will … Read more

The Byd Seal 6 DM-I, the second plug-in hybrid of the Chinese firm in our country, repeats the formula we have already seen with the Byd Seal U DM-I but now exports to the Berlina format (with family version or Touring included).

When we talk about the Byd Seal U in Xataka We already commented that Byd’s play with his plug -in hybrid was almost perfect. It puts a family car on the market, comfortable and, above all, much cheaper than the rivals. Because yes, the Toyota C-HR with which he is fighting for being the best-selling plug-in hybrid costs the same but is much smaller. It is difficult not to start here this test of the BYD Seal 6 DM-I in any of its variants, sedan or family. The first option starts at 37,000 euros (before the discounts that we will detail). The family adds 2,000 euros more cost. If we are looking for rivals, a PEUGEOT 308 plug -in hybrid is in the 35,000 euros barrier and it is half a shorter meter. Literally. Below 40,000 euros, no brand offers plug -in hybridization with a similar size. Either below 45,000 euros. A plug -in hybrid Skoda (the closest for price) costs 48,000 euros at least. That is, its largest rival for size already part of about 9,000 euros more (before the discounts of each brand). With that premise it is easy to understand why ByD is hurting the plug -in hybrid market and planting Toyota with the only car in the market. Because up to the 6 DM-I by 6 DM-I, the car offers a good quality sensation and, with its highest equipment, the screen grows to 15.6 inches. Otherwise, All cars arrive as standard With: electric seats, heated and ventilated, heated steering wheel, interior in vegan leather, adaptive cruise control, 360 degree camera, bidirectional load, voice assistant, Android Auto or Carplay … to mention just some examples. The car also moves very applauded. It is far from the classic soft suspensions that have the rest of the byd cars and helps their enormous battle and a lower center of gravity to go much more on the site. We have not been able to study your adaptive cruise control with peace of mind but we can say that in general it has been correctly, little intrusive in lane maintenance. Of course, as we said, it is an analysis that lacks kilometers of a long -term test. What we can say is that the combustion engine of 1.5 liters with the gasoline engine is a bit fair. Despite its 212 hp, the car gives not accelerating with the power that its numbers say. It behaves very well llaneando, it is a comfortable car but it would be appreciated a better answer when the right pedal is stepped strongly. This is because, in the absence of a deeper analysis, this BYD Seal 6 DM-I prioritizes the use of the combustion engine as an electricity generator. This accumulates in the battery and in the vast majority of the circumstances, it is the electric motor that drives the wheels. Only when we have stepped together and sustained the effort in the accelerator, it shows that the … Read more

How to edit your free photos on Google Gemini, and what can you do with the Nano Banana model

by

Let’s explain How to edit your free photos using Geminiusing the new “Banana” model that allows you to modify or add or remove elements. This is the new great evolutionary leap of the AI, which after Chatgpt allowed you to create images from photos now comes the internal edition in Gemini. This is something that you will be able to Make in the free version of Geminiyou don’t need payment. You just upload a photo and ask to make the changes you want, you don’t have to choose any specific function or model, because it is already something integrated within Gemini. Here, you should know that the great advance of this function is that the changes are made directly on the original photo. What you say, but Everything else is going to be kept in the photonothing will be changed. How can you edit your photos with To edit your photos, you first have to upload it and then Ask Gemini to make any change. Sometimes it will be enough to directly ask you to put it in black and white, for example. Other times, you can start the prompt with “In the original photo, XXX” And then write the change you want me to do. Thus, Gemini will know that you want to keep the content of the photo as it is. First, Gemini now allows you Make touch -ups in your photoshow to adjust the color, change black and white, and alter any adjustment you want. You don’t have to use an app for something so simple, you can ask Gemini directly. You can also delete objects from a photo. This is something that until recently also needed third -party apps, but both Chatgpt and now Gemini already allow you to do it. They eliminate the object you want, and cover the bottom of the photo so that it seems that there was nothing. When you upload a photo of yours or another person, you can also change elements in it. You can change colors, hairstyles, people, and even clothes that is being put in the photo. Do you want to know how platinum hair would look like? Easy. Do you want to know how you look in a suit? Easy. Everything else in the photo remains the same. You can also change some elements of one photo for othersalthough not always with realistic results. Do you want glasses? Do you want to? Do you want your cat to become a dinosaur? Everything else in the photo remains the same. In addition to this, you can also Upload two photos and make the content of one appear in the other. In the example, I have uploaded a photo of mine teaching a drawing, and I have asked to change it which appears in a second photo. Just be sure to specify in the photo you want to make the changes and what they are. And finally, you can also change the back of a photo. Thus, if in the photo you are in a place you can make it look like you are in another, or add elements that change the environment where you are.

It is no longer necessary to pay to transform our photos into what we want. The latest Google offers it for free for everyone

by

Edit images has become routine: to surprise in networks, to Try a new style or to rescue old photographs They keep memories. In classic filter apps stores with bets for artificial intelligence. Many are paying, others pay below what was promised. Google can be about to change that balance And, this time, with a difficult argument to ignore. The novelty comes integrated into the app of Geminiboth on mobile and on web. According to Googleits engine, based on the latest Gemini models, not only generates from text: it also edits real photos with instructions in natural language and chained steps, from changing the background to replacing objects or merging two images into one. The company presents it as its highest quality image tool to date. The jump is not in new creations from scratch, but in the photos we already saved on the reel The focus is not so much to create posters from scratch and in Transform the everyday. Try a different haircut, carry a novel aesthetic, turn a selfie into a Gothic version or emo, add that backpack that you forgot in the shot, move to another landscape or combine two photos for a coherent composition. The promise is to maintain the recognizable features of the subject, a critical point in which Google claims to have improved against usual distortions. The experience is conversational. You upload a photo, write what you want and see the result; If you don’t convince, you ask for adjustments. Nothing to use traditional tools. Everything flows at a blow of textual requests. For the general user there are two keys. The first, availability: can be used in the Gemini app for iOS and Android and also in the web version. If you are creator or developer, the service appears on Google Ai Studio. The second, price: Free access to test and edit images without subscription. The same portrait, four different styles. The Gemini generator plays with color, texture and shape without leaving the app There are also limits. Although demonstrations teach convincing results, there are still scenarios that challenge any model: precise typefaces, very fine details or tiny faces in complex scenes. Fidelity to the original improves when concrete changes are requested, but not always right. The practice advises iterate, adjust and check the full size result. From neutral portrait to three different fashion decades. Gemini plays with aesthetics and time as if they were filters In security, Google insists on the safeguards. The images generated They incorporate visible water brand and a mark embedded by techniques such as Synthid to indicate its origin with Ia. They are measures aimed at stopping an obvious risk: the more realistic these tools are, the easier it will be to manufacture deception. Skater, two miller or classic. Gemini’s generator makes a common photo a parade of personalities The interesting thing about Gemini is how natural it is to try styles without touching a complicated editor. You can ask for “Make me Y2K version” and see how the selfie is transformed with silver chains and two milea fashion prints. Or write “convert this photo into look skater” to make caps, wide sweatshirts and that aesthetics of urban park. The same portrait can also become elegant with a “beam that this photo is preppy”, keeping your features but completely changing the air of the scene. The before and after the same image: Google’s AI repairs, color and rescue (or invents) the lost details Those who want to restore the family album, the option to recover old photosincluding collecting in a single instruction, provides utility and emotion. For creators, the possibility of mixing images, conserving faces and repeating styles offers a powerful advantage. The edition with AI moves to the day -to -day layer, and Google does not arrive alone. Competes with other proposals, such as Chatgpt, Grok, Midjourney, Qwen and even adobe. The good news is for users, which we have more and more options at our disposal to achieve our editing goals, and in a way, give free rein to our creativity.

The photographic AI of the Pixel allowed to create false memories. Now your goal is to teach us to get better photos

by

If Google mobiles have always been characterized by something, it is for its photographic functions. Post -processed cameras and software has always been a reference in the market, but AI has devastated this segment. Although There have been interesting functionsthis technology has also made time the difference between reality and the processed image It was bigger. Google has given a step back in that trend. Camera Coach. This is the name of the new Android function present in the new Pixel 10, Pro and Pro XL. Contrary to what happens With the magic editorwhich allows us modify our images with ia To the point of creating false memories, Camera Coach goes in the opposite direction: try to draw real photos “without tricks”. As? Teaching us photography. Frame better. This Google tool uses The gemini modelbut he does it with a teaching and educational function. The idea is not to add things that were not or remove the ones and “bothered.” What Camera Coach does is guide us in things how to make a better frame of the photo before taking it out. The composition also matters. During that process that guides us when taking a photo, Google’s AI “sees what we see” and giving us advice of all kinds. Not only to frame – “move the camera a little to the right and up”, “apply a little zoom” – but so that the composition of the photo is also better – “Frame to see that sculpture also in the background” – and the final result is more professional. Di “Cheese”. This function comes to suggest that for example the protagonists of the photo also contribute to the better. Thus, Camera Coach can advise us to ask that person to smile or look at the camera or any other part. It can even suggest scenes that we had not even considered photographing. A learning for the future. Google’s proposal is interesting because all these tips can help us for the future. Thus, at first we need them more and apply them, but over time the idea is that we apply them automatically without the need for Camera Coach so that our photos have better frame and composition. And if that were not enough, Guided Frame. That Google option is based on the fact that the AI already sees what our camera sees and is Able to recognize a scene and “understand it.” That is what the AI of Google takes advantage of for “Guided Frame” technology, which is capable of identifying all the elements present in the image so that we can then act on those elements. Thus, in a group photo with four people and with cars and trees behind, Google’s AI can identify all that and then allow us to edit that image with natural language. For example, saying “fixes the lighting of this image” or “eliminates that garbage cube on the right.” If Google Mete ia, you will also put water brand. The new pixel 10/pro/pro xl also have an important novelty: according to Google they are the first to implement C2PA content credentials. That means that if at any time changes in the photo are made to edit it, for example adding things with AI, the system will integrate in that new image an invisible water mark that can be consulted afterwards to verify that, in effect, there has been a certain editing process with AI or with editing applications. The new magical editor allows this normal photo to become something much more striking … even if it is a lie. Source: 91mobiles/Kamila Wojciechowska Beware of false memories. In recent years, Google drifting in editing processes has been as striking as controversy. He Magic draft He taught us that we could eliminate things that had left over our photos, and the Magic editor went further and allowed us to distort those photos and memories with options like that “reimagine” that scares and excites equal parts. We could make the sky, instead of lead, be sunny, or that the sea in the background was more blue and crystalline instead of darker and ugly. Good for the educational approach. Google continues to reinforce those options to edit photos with AI. However, the most striking novelty among those that have been announced of this type is precisely that “integrated photography teacher” that will teach us to get better photos in different situations. It is a striking and original proposal that will undoubtedly help many fans get even more game of their mobile camera. In Xataka | Google photos was a place where we kept photos. Google wants it now a place where our photos are “invented”

I don’t know any photography. But since I discovered this free app, I feel that my photos with the mobile play in another league

I am not a photographer. But I enjoy taking photos with the mobile. And, as with many people, my way of doing so is quite simple: When what I see on the screen convinces me, I shot. I do not usually touch adjustments such as exposure or format. Sometimes the portrait mode active, sometimes the night mode, adjust the focus if necessary … and little else. The photos I get with me iPhone 15 pro max They seem very good to me. More than enough for what I need. But even with an inexperienced look, it is easy to note that the images made with a traditional camera They have something very different. And deep down I took it for granted. Without entering the field of advanced photography, I thought I couldn’t get my mobile much more. Adobe Indigo, the application that made me change your mind The application that changed my mind is called Indigo Projectand it is an experimental adobe labs tool developed by two figures recognized in this area: Florian Kainz and Marc Levoythe latter known for his role in the development of the Computer photography that we saw in the first Google Pixel. Indigo – that appears installed – is designed to get the entire game to the iPhone with a pro sensor, from The 12 pro Until 15 pro max. What it proposes is a different way of understanding mobile photography, closer to what traditional cameras offer, thanks to a combination of AI algorithms and intelligent processing. How exactly does it work? Indigo does not take a single photo, but several, which later Combine automatically To reduce noise, improve dynamic range and offer a cleaner and more realistic image. All this happens after pressing the shot button. Nothing else. One of its virtues is that it adapts well both to those who only want to point and shoot and those who prefer to control each aspect of the process. The app allows you to configure manual approach, exposure time, ISO, exposure compensation and white balance, with tools such as a precision magnifying glass or the possibility of calibrating the color by playing a neutral gray object.

On the left, images taken with the iPhone camera app. On the right, the same scenes captured with indigo. At first glance, the difference is remarkable: less artificial overexposure, less noise, warmer and more natural colors, skies that resemble real ones. Comparison: Photo captured with the iPhone camera (left) and with indigo (right) Comparison with cuts: photo captured with the iPhone chamber (left) and with indigo (right) Of course, it should be taken into account a couple of details. The images take a few seconds to process and, during that time, the phone is heated. There is also an impact on battery consumption if many photos are taken in a row. It’s nothing serious, but it’s there. Since I started using Indigo, the usual chamber app has passed to the background. Not because I have become a photographer, but because I finally feel that the photos I take with my mobile They get closer to what he wanted to capture from the beginning.
