Well, I set all of my cameras other than the iPhone to raw-only format output so I'm hardly one to complain about the size of a raw file.
I use the Moment camera app on the iPhone specifically to allow use of raw format files with the 1x and 2x cameras (the 0.5x camera does not support generating raw format output), nominally for the increased rendering potential. That said, the standard Apple Camera app produces very very good output in HEIC format and has all the benefits of JPEG image compression but with more dynamic range. The raw file does have a small edge, and with this new denoise algorithm that edge grows a bit. The size difference between the HEIC and the Moment camera's DNG output of the same image is 450Kbytes vs 15 Mbytes … obviously a huge difference. I don't have one of the later iPhones that can output raw from the Apple Camera app to compare against. fun fun fun… G > On Apr 25, 2023, at 1:12 PM, Alastair Robertson <kiwibiolog...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > Very impressive.
