How Apple ProRAW Changed DNG For Everyone

  • Apple ProRAW existed as a bit of a mystery, not much was said in terms of what it actually is and how it works. Holding firm to the fact that understanding your tools will help you make better use of it, I set off on an adventure to learn all I can about it!

    This was a joy to watch. Even though it is a highly theoretical discussion of a software feature, it was very easy to follow and the conversation style worked great for this. Thank you very much for the effort! Nerd hat off to you, sir.

    I realise this video is a few months old but I just bought an iPhone 13 Pro Max and had already downloaded the Halide trial. This video is one of the most interesting videos I’ve seen on UA-cam and certainly contains the most (useable) information on ProRaw I have found. Thanks so much for a thoroughly researched and well presented video and for the extra tips on using Halide. Absolutely superb.

    I took a picture at midnight, in a bushy forest. You could barely see. But ProRaw with long exposure was able to show me perfect green trees and daylight looking image overall - I have never seen anything like it. I could also tell which branches were closer to me, like a depth effect, and I’m talking 50 meters distance. This was never possible on my 11 Pro, it all looked mushy; bright enough, but mushy contrast and greenish tint all over the picture. Now with 12,13 pros, the camera is simply outstanding once again.
    I just wish they’ll release a version that uses LCD screen, like an SE. Amoleds make my eyes hurt after a while 😞

  • @yuxuanhuang3523
    @yuxuanhuang3523 Рік тому +1

    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.

  • @SworlDotBe
    @SworlDotBe 2 роки тому +1

    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?

I cannot find this specific More Info metadata anywhere! The other screenshot in the background makes it look like the DNG was accessed in a Mac Finder.
