Apple releases iOS 14.3, bringing its new ProRAW format to its iPhone 12 Pro, 12 Pro Max smartphones
- Thread starter Panther
- Start date
It's going to be interesting to see what people think of this......
My adequate 6S, says no big deal!
I will have to check this out. Only recently upgraded from a 7 to 12 Pro Max. I have had the phone for a couple of weeks and yet to take one photo with it. 
I upgraded my Apple watch at the same time.

I'm looking forward to it - just finished updating my phone to it.

Just installing the update, will try and take a few snaps later.You really need to then!
I've been sidetracked the last couple of days with the LiDAR Scanner.....
I'm still using the iPhone 11 Pro, so can't use the new software. I don't use my iPhone that much these days for photos anyway, so not a huge loss.....
As much as I have read and heard, it's something between the classical RAW as we know it and a better JPG.
It is processed by the phone already...
Kind regards

Getting my 12 Pro Max today. Can’t wait.
Three UK had a promo that made the Pro Max the cheapest of all iPhone 12s.

Format is DNG which allows for additional "out of phone" processing for "when you get home".....
Sure Panther,Format is DNG which allows for additional "out of phone" processing for "when you get home".....
but it seems not that pure DNG (RAW) as we know it. I mean the data directly from the sensor.
Please let me know, when I'm wrong.

I read somewhere that standard RAW straight from sensor is very grainy so ProRAW is a processed format to make the image more useable. The advantage of ProRAW is better dynamic range.
Between HEIC/HEIF and this, I'm pretty thrilled with what Apple is doing.
This is all that I have: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Negative
Well....there's this too...

In that Petapixel article they should have compared the images in regular .jpeg rather than HEIC, as I suspect many people still prefer to use .jpeg......
I went for a wander last night to check out the neighbours Christmas Lights.
I took the phone along and fired off a few images. What I have found so far, RAW is off when the camera is opened, touching the RAW button enables it. IBIS looks like it works fine in low light. I can view the images I took on the phone, I can email them, post them on social media, etc., but cannot open the files when I plug the phone into my work Windows computer. The files sent from the phone are JPEG, however viewing the files on the phone, or tablet, etc., they have a RAW watermark on the screen
Over the weekend I will download them to my photo editing computer and see if LR can open them.
