![]() ![]() ![]() It looks a little easier to work on, to be fair. However, Capture One’s rendering of the same RAW file is much more muted and generic. Lightroom’s iPhone 13 ProRAW profile delivers a virtually identical result, also with the HDR effect in the sky. This is what Apple thinks my straight-out-of-camera shot should look like, complete with HDR-enhanced lower sky, just above the treeline. How do ProRAW files look in Lightroom? Interesting. You can do this manually using AirDrop, say, or wait until they sync with Apple Photos on your computer, copy them out of the library and then delete them from Photos. My iPhone 13 RAW files are coming in at anywhere between 25MB and 45MB, so unless you have a phone with a lot of storage, you need to get them off there pretty quick. The bad news is that Linear DNG files are 2-3 times larger than regular raw files because the RGB data has already been reconstructed into full color channels. With the new Linear DNG format, though, Lightroom’s own demosaicing process is sidestepped, and the iPhone ProRAW images look very good indeed – and respond well to quite heavy editing too. The route I’d been using was to shoot RAW with the Lightroom app, but then take the DNGs into Capture One, which does a way better job of editing them. ![]() You can try using noise reduction, but any gain is quickly offset by a loss in detail – and that’s something you can’t really afford in images which have only 12 megapixels anyway. Why is that good news? Because if you’ve used the Lightroom app on an iPhone to capture a RAW file (also in the DNG format, but not a Linear DNG), you’ll know that when the image is processed in Lightroom, the noise levels are pretty horrendous, even at the lowest ISOs. This means Apple has taken care of this base-level processing, not Adobe. Apple has used the Linear DNG format, which is a kind of part-processed raw file which contains all the extended raw image data of regular raw files, but has already been demosaiced into a full color image. The iPhone 13 ProRAW format comes with good news and bad news. iPhone 13 ProRAW: good news (mostly) and bad news (some) It doesn’t just change the results they can expect, but potentially their workflow too. This doesn’t sound like massively significant news, but there’s more to this than meets the eye for iPhone 13 and Lightroom users. ![]()
