ProRAW photos
I am curious to see how much I can get out of the Apple iPhone 14 Pro’s ProRAW mode. The feature allows you to use the full extent of the 48-MP camera sensor on the new smartphone. Rather than limit it to the software’s AI-infused quad-pixel capabilities, this feature lets you use the primary camera as if it were a DSLR you carry in your back pocket. The only requirement is knowing what to do with a RAW file in a photo editing suite.
Samsung’s Galaxy smartphones started offering this feature earlier this year with the Galaxy S22 Ultra. I noticed that with the Ultra, which boasts a 102-MP camera, I could flip into the full megapixels mode and shoot photos using the sensor as the tech gods intended. However, that doesn’t seem to shoot in pure RAW and instead spits out a JPEG in the backend. You’ll have to manually head into the camera settings to ensure that the RAW option is toggled-on if you want to take fully editable photos with Samsung’s smartphone.
