IPHONE

If you have an iPhone 12pro or 12promax and think you're a photographer, the latest IOS update will help you make the most of your phone's camera for your fun. That's because Apple announced for the first time at its October launch that it included a new proraw feature. For the first time, proraw combines raw's editing flexibility with Apple's computational photography skills, such as smart HDR and deep fusion. Proraw provides you with both standard raw files and JPEG or HEIC files. You don't need to choose between the two. The latter has all the computing power of apple, but the potential of post-processing is limited.

Taking original photos on the iPhone is nothing new; apps like halide and adobe Lightroom have always allowed you to capture all the data collected by the iPhone sensor at the same time. The most important benefits of proraw are here - for me, the great improvement of dialogue balance is always the greatest blessing - but it gives you more leeway in adjusting exposure, clarity, dynamic range and so on. You can better adjust the facial tone in the portrait, or determine the exposure you want in the landscape.

But on the iPhone, the standard raw images will look very rough, because they are still small smart phone camera sensors without any computational optimization. Now, you should notice the same things as before, but the noise is less. This is because proraw images are processed in multiple frames just like ordinary iPhone snapshots. Even so, you can still use a dynamic range of about 14 stations in the editing software.

Let's look at the difference between raw and proraw

Proraw works with all the rear cameras on the iPhone 12pro and promax - it doesn't suddenly turn a super wide lens into a magic lens, but it can still work in night mode. If your editing application allows you to control it, you can even access the persona segmentation mask captured by the sensor, and then adjust the style of portrait mode.

How to use proraw? First, you must enable it under camera options in the settings menu. After that, you will see a "raw" button appear in the upper right corner of the camera viewfinder, which is the switch to quickly switch proraw.

It's always easier for you to open the image per day, but I'm sure it's much bigger than the average size of the raw file you want to use. I suggest that this feature should be reserved for photos that are very interesting or taken with people you care about or in important places. Proraw images will appear on the camera like normal images, but if you try to share them on social media such as instagram, your avatar will change. Therefore, before sending them to social media, first export them as smaller JPEG or HEIC files.

Another advantage of proraw is that because the adobe it uses widely supports DNG file format, there are already a large number of applications that can open and edit files without changing the image format. But applications that use Apple's own raw converters will have more control because they have access to pitch and distance mapping.

Many manufacturers now have their own original converter applications, namely Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom and capture one, which can edit DNG files, but do not use all the functions of Apple's original converter. Adobe and other companies are likely to update their conversion tools in the future to make better use of proraw.
