How Apple ProRAW Changed DNG For Everyone

So nerdy. SO GOOD! This stuff matters to serious shooters.

All my photos are ProRaw and forgot to turn it off. However, I know that some photos I wanted to have more better HDR.

Excellent presentation. Thank you.

Imagine a raw file with baked in sharpening and intense noise reduction?

great video! love the details. had no idea there was that much going on under the hood. i have been shooting RAW with Canon since early 2000s and started using DNG on iPhone first with iPhone SE (the 1st SE) and have been bloating out my harddrive since :P

That was very helpful video to watch and I will appreciate if you answer my question that I couldn’t find the answer yet
I want to know how much DPI for proraw images on iPhone 12 pro I’m working on prints and I know it is 72 for the normal mode but it was not showing in the details for proraw
Thank u

Very useful and informative! A little too techy I thought at 1/3 into the video.. but so incredibly well explained that I was able to easily keep up. Great job!!

Thank k you for a very helpful and well produced video.

That was brilliant, thank you both!

Hi, does the beastcam app take pictures in RAW or DNG, i have an iphone 12 and does beast cam have a log or Flat profile thanks.

Thanks for this explanation! So my understanding is Apple just did what they would do to any photo: taking multiple exposures and merging. But in the middle of the process, rather than pulling up the shadows and down the highlights for you and burning it into a 8 bit jpeg, it just creates a 12 bit image. That image is like the TIFF you get from merging a HDR in Lightroom. All the dynamic range from those shots is kept in. The only extra thing ProRAW did was to give softwares a mask that tells what it thinks should be done, but the option is still in user hands. So if I brought it into older lightroom that doesn't read the mask, I could just treat it as something like a TIFF and bring out the details manually.

Awesome video

talk about ProRes pls

Any help? iPhone 13 Pro Max - iOS 15.5. Cannot export/Manually copy, Transfer in any way ProRAW DNG without it being downscaled to jpg.

Great roundup! Thanks a lot!

ohh awesome this answered a question i have about 3rd party apps

Anyone else more confused now than before watching this?

The video is too long

Great stuff! Bravo, guys. Keep up the good work.

Simply amazed!!! gotta re check if pro-raw setting was off. XD

are there really such big differences between using proraw vs. jpeg or the hevc?

interesting video - I have been looking into the iphone 13 pros but my sense is that the proraw format is just too limiting for people who want full control over images and who don't want so much processing to occur by default

I was just playing around in settings and found the proraw option! I got curious and came here, and now I don’t think I’ll ever take another photo without it being on! Thank you!!!

Just found this channel, great content

Iphone is by far the best bang for the buck camera you can get today, the engineering in those tiny portable cameras is unreal, and its a phone!

finally someone explained this. thanks a lot

Informative and succinct!

Very detailed, thank you ! (:

Great video!
I have one question left: How can I extract the Semantic mask and make use of it (e.g. as a masking layer in PS)? Neither PS, nor Affinity Photo seem to make the information available and halide can show it but does noch seem to be able to export it.

Super-duper! Thx🔥

I've just switched from Android to an iPhone 13 Mini and, despite not being able to shoot ProRaw on my iPhone, this was super interesting!

The thing is I still haven't quite grasped when it's better to use RAW and when ProRaw...I mean, if you want the full quality with the least loss of detail and most flexibility RAW is still the way to go? Or did I miss something?

Thats why i always asked my friends to touch the sky instead of me while taking pictures. They've been forgiven by pro raw as much as they deserved😅

Thanks for this extremely informative and interesting presentation.

Have you processed your ProRAW files in ACR or LR ZY?

What an amazing video! Loved this and would love more.

This video makes me want to shoot ProRaw more and regret not getting a larger capacity storage iPhone.

One of the most informative videos I've seen on ProRaw. Detailed, well-presented, and clear. Thank you.

It would be nice to have an opportunity to turn off the noise reduction applied to ProRAW files.

The most professional information about proRaw I’ve ever seen since

Amazing video, wow! I just purchased the iPhone 13 Pro coming from the Galaxy S9+. I took a dive in ProRaw and read their article about it a few days ago, amazing how you asked just the right questions to make it even more understandable. Given that this is a deep and complex subject. Also, amazing video quality with great photo samples/comparisons!

Great deep dive! In your opinion: is ProRaw a good format to edit with? I'm editing ProRaws in Lightroom that look OK with the ProRaw profile, but when you try to use sliders on top of this tone mapping (shadows, highlights), the two don't work together nicely. The overall dynamic range is even disappointing, it's hard to reduce overexposed area's for instance. A 16 bit HDR DNG made with the Lightroom app doesn't have the problem of tone mapping fighting the edit sliders, but can't benefit from Apples processing smarts (and masks). What's your take on this?

Great nerdy content, and well made 👍

Best video on the subject I have seen! Excellent interview and great information.

Really good, informative video. I take delivery of my iPhone 13 Pro Max today and look forward to investigating all the features.

Ben has good taste. I can recognize the bottle from Suntory's Hibiki. It's really good. 😅

Thanks for the video and Halide! I doesnt know this app.
