![]() ![]() ![]() Some reach out to support to ask, “Why are my RAWs worse than JPEGs?”Ī second problem is that today’s iPhones can’t perform advanced computational photography while capturing classic RAWs. Beginners have no idea what levers to push and pull to get what the system JPEG gives you automatically. Then let’s talk about what we’re doing to address them.įirst, unprocessed RAWs look pretty bad when you first load them. So today, let’s talk about three challenges we’ve seen when beginners dip their toes into RAW. It’s also not coming to every iPhone that is out today and only half of the ones coming out tomorrow, as ProRAW is limited to iPhone 12 Pro. That said, it’s way too early to tell just what ProRAW provides out of the box, and any tradeoffs compared to “classic” RAWs. This feature is coming to third-party apps soon, and Halide is ProRAW ready. ![]() ProRAW allows you to adjust - or just disable - the iPhone’s various computational photography features such relighting and much more. This year Apple embraced this advanced workflow by announcing ProRAW. This is why many folks shoot RAW: you get an image file with zero edits applied, so you can make choices yourself. ![]() While cameras today are incredibly smart, they aren’t mind readers. That’s great for most people, but a photographer’s involvement in development is part of the artistic process. Think of shooting in JPG as the camera doing a lot of very quick edits. When you take a photo with the built-in camera app, it makes a ton of important creative decision on your behalf by saving your shot as a JPG. Halide is well known and beloved as a way to take RAW photos on iPhone. There’s also a new, powerful feature in there, and we have some big plans for our new reviewer in the future.īut first, let’s talk about one of the biggest new features in Halide Mark II: The Power of RAW without the Complexity You’ll notice it gives you more information at a glance, but you can now also dig in to surface relevant metadata about your photos. The Halide photo reviewer has also been redesigned and gained many features. We also take Portrait Mode shots of pets and other objects on single-camera iPhones, like the iPhone SE (II) and iPhone XR If you still need to switch to manual a lot, have no fear! Simply swipe left from the edge of the screen - or tap the ‘Auto’ icon in the top right ‘ear’ of your iPhone - to reveal the new mode switcher. Now we find ourselves reaching for the manual exposure toggle less often, so we’ve freed up that prime “thumb reach” zone for other controls. At the time, it made sense to have that control within thumb reach.Ī few years later, we tackled that noise problem head-on by developing our own auto exposure algorithm. In Halide 1 we put that button front-and-center because, at the time, we frequently switched to manual controls to deal with noise. We’ll talk more about that later.Īs form follows function, technical advancements freed us to further simplify our interface. We want Halide to be a powerful tool to not just take photos, but learn more about photography. An Olympus and Canon shooter, he has a wealth of knowledge on cameras of all makes – and a fondness for vintage lenses and instant cameras.Not only does this confirm your action, it also helps new photographers learn the names and purpose of these features. This has led him to being a go-to expert for camera and lens reviews, photo and lighting tutorials, as well as industry news, rumors and analysis for publications like Digital Camera Magazine, PhotoPlus: The Canon Magazine, N-Photo: The Nikon Magazine, Digital Photographer and Professional Imagemaker, as well as hosting workshops and talks at The Photography Show. He also serves as a judge for the Red Bull Illume Photo Contest. In this time he shot for clients like Aston Martin Racing, Elinchrom and L'Oréal, in addition to shooting campaigns and product testing for Olympus, and providing training for professionals.
