I’ve searched and searched for a way to turn off the extra processing. The only methods are third party camera apps or doing burst mode for every picture.

I preferred it when they saved the original and processed photos. Now there is no way to turn it off.

Worst part for me is when I get to see a perfect picture that gets processed a blink later and can never be recovered.

This has happened to me way too many times. I take a picture, it looks great, then shortly after it gets processed so badly it's all blurred up with no return because of some forced long exposure low light compensation feature that cannot be disabled.

If you want to try out the “fix” goto camera settings and turn on “prioritize faster shooting” then in the camera app on the take picture button: tap, hold, drag left. It should stay white and play a shutter sound. There is a chance to do a similar action that just starts a recording but the button goes red for that.

Thank you! This fixes the after-shot blur. Now I just need to find a way to disable HDR/color enhancements without a 3rd party app and I'm perfectly set.

Halide. If you don't mind subscriptions or the lifetime $75 the app I found that did everything I wanted is Halide. The pain of the problem for me didn't cross the threshold for me to buy the app but the trial of it worked. Funny I have several dozen selfies of me testing it out compared to the Camera app with all the options toggled.
