    17:08 Final thoughts
    Raw photography has finally landed on the iPhone via the native camera! With the release of iOS 14.3, you can now enable Apple ProRAW for the iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max.
    It's a hybrid image format between Apple's image processing, with technologies such as SmartHDR and Deep Fusion, and raw photography via the DNG file extension. It enables you to make greater adjustments to your images within your editor, much the same as you would with a larger camera. The raw functionality is a big win for me, however, the workflow for getting the raw images off your iPhone is still a major headache.
    I've been tinkering, and I think I've found a workflow that suits the whole process as efficiently as possible given the scenario. Hopefully, you find this useful and can apply it to your own workflows.

    Workflow suggested for Adobe Creative Cloud users and Windows PC* (Also works for MAC) (*Since Airdrop and Apple Photos is not a thing there): 1. Import the raw photos into Lightroom CC on your iPhone. 2. Turn on Lightroom Synch both on your phone and Computer (works with Lightroom Classic). 3. Go into Lightroom on your PC (Works for both MAC and PC). And your iPhone RAWs will pop up on your computer as they are synched via Adobe Creative Cloud. Edit your photos either on your iPhone or Computer. Works both ways.

      Exactly my thoughts 👍. Can you get Rid of the iPhones oversharpening in lightroom as well? Worst case by taking pics with the lightroom app yo start with (yes, then you would not benefit from the pro raw enhancements, but I worry most about iPhones artificial photo quality)

  • @adrianjamesNEWS
    @adrianjamesNEWS 3 года назад +40

    LightRoom is currently treating ProRAW pictures as regular RAW files which means you aren't getting the added layers of computation. You're merely editing a RAW file straight off the sensor which is why we haven't been blown away ProRAW, and JPEG's still look great in comparison. Only ProRAW pictures edited in Photos are getting the added computational layers. I'm hoping we will get updates from editing software that can take full advantage of ProRAW.

      When ever I try to edit a proRaw image in photos it changes my image to an extremely underexposed image, from that point I can’t recover the image and the image is lost. I don’t know why it’s doing this. I literally can’t use proRaw because of this.

    • @MrSamoDude
      @MrSamoDude 3 года назад +1

      I don’t believe this is the case. I’ve seen raw vs proraw edits in Lightroom and there’s notably more dynamic range resulting in more shadow and highlight detail in the proraw version, there’s also more detail in general and less noise. All this suggests that you are getting the added computation power of Apples photography engine, not just a raw sensor output. What Lightroom isn’t applying is apples post processing corrections, such as colour grading, tone curves etc. Lightroom’s only relatively recently started doing this properly for Fuji cameras, so I’m not holding out much hope for it to match iPhone photos output any time soon, but at least it provides an opportunity to recover photos that may have not been possible with just a jpg.

    I’m always keen for some workflow efficiency! Let me know if these tips are useful to you… ✌️ Edit: For those mentioning the RAW filter in the photos app; that actually came as an update _after_ publishing this video (filmed with iOS 14.3 beta). This workflow is still beneficial to me though, as it allows me to specify the camera when filtering.

    • @MrSamoDude
      @MrSamoDude 3 года назад +4

      Hi Joe, I’ve had similar workflow issues but think I’ve got mine simplified now. First, I have a Siri shortcuts auto run every time I put my iPhone phone on do not disturb. It automatically adds iPhone captured photos to an album called ‘camera’, similar to how your smart filter works on the Mac. I then use Lightroom CC to transfer photos between the iPhone and computer. In iPhone Lightroom I just manually select the photos from my camera album, I can then easily see which photos have been previously uploaded and which need adding. On my PC I have Lightroom auto download the originals, I therefore have the online copy that I can edit on iPhone, iPad or PC, and a local backup of the original file. I moved away from Lightroom classic a year back as I prefer editing on my iPad, so not sure if classic can see or sync the Adobe cloud photos, so may not be an option for you, but certainly easier than cables and usb connections. Also, iPhone does support USB 3, I use that to upload photos from my Fuji cameras SD card direct to Lightroom CC and it’s way faster than USB 2.

    Great video. Helps my decision on whether to shift (back) to iPhone. I had hoped to be able to use Airdrop to my iPad when I travel and have to think about data use. As much as I would like having ProRaw, I don’t think it’ll be worth the hassle as I mostly shoot well-lit scenes. So leaning towards the Sony Xperia 5ii now, although that will require getting a card reader that’ll work with the iPad.

    I am doing some batch copy work shot in Raw for photographing art to then edit in Lightroom, end result will be a web gallery for an artist to sell work (90 images or so of copy work). I used Airdrop for the RAW files from an iPhone Pro Max 13 to my Macbook, then moved them from the download folder to an external drive for long term storage, (the images converted to DNG). However, I just tried another route by uploading the RAW images directly from my iPhone to the Lightroom App using my home WiFi. I am thinking that could work since it is a pretty simple job this time around, not too many images nor extreme edits. Does this sound like a good way to go in this context? Thanks for the great video, I hope Apple stops by to hear your feedback!

  • @thomasmayer3903

    Best video I've seen regarding the topic, many thanks ✌. How about just taking the important pictures via the lightroom app and just do all the editing by hand. Will this get rid of the whole over sharpening issue? That way the important pics are synced with lightroom. All the non important pics can stay in the apple photo album. Periode. Wouldn't that solve all the problems?

The difference in terms of quality looks minimal (I mean always raw but 12 o 48 Mp), but the difference about used space is huge...do you advice to shoot in 48 anyway? I mean if you don't have ideas of large prints, but normal high quality pics for the screen...

    I also noticed if you use other file synch applications like onedrive, it only picks up a jpg vs the DNG file. So my onedrive think it's synch'd everything when it really hasn't. Would be nice if the iOS photos app has an ALBUM at least for photos taken by the native camera -- at least that would help. I see albums from 3rd party apps separated, not sure why there wouldn't be one called 'camera'.

If it comes as an update, at least one step will be removed from the workflow. Although the smart album does allow for specifying the camera rather than just raw images from any camera 👍

    You do know that the photos app on your iPhone has an album of raw photos, or videos or any format that exists in your library already built in don’t you, and that you can view any of those albums on their own and that you can share them to any third party software you want, directly from your iPhone. So the whole premise of this video is basically that you either just don’t know this or or that you’re choosing to ignore it, neither of which is particularly smart.

      That option for raw in the photos app (both desktop and iOS) wasn't there at the time of filming this video. It came as a minor build update shortly after this was published. Although it's a welcome and obvious addition, there are still frustrations with the workflow to a computer given the slow cable speeds, unreliable AirDrop/data connection at large quantities and requirement to manually select through images from an album.

    Have you tried a workflow which involves using an iPhone app which presents the iPhone as a drive over the LAN? The Documents (by Readdle) app has a WebDAV option buried in its settings which when enabled allows the Mac to mount the file system over the local network. This app also shows “View and transfer photos to desktop - share using WiFi”. Been some time since I played with the app, but even if the app doesn’t work well for photos, I’d be surprised if the general idea (a built in server like WebDAV) hasn’t been picked up by dedicated photo apps.

      I haven’t tried that specifically. But Finder does display the iPhone as an external source. However, because I’m using iCloud Photo Library I can’t view browse the images. Don’t know if that would affect any apps that offer it as an option…

      @@joeallam I noticed the filter you created on your Mac is: RAW format AND camera model = iPhone. Is the "Camera model = iPhone" necessary? Seems just the RAW format would be enough to filter out images created by messaging apps and screen captures etc. If that's the case then see if PhotoSync Pro for iOS does what you want.
      It's been a few years since I last used the app but I just reinstalled it and its come a long way! It has an impressive number of sync options. When setting up a new sync target it has some options for which images to sync. One of those options is 1) Both RAW + JPEG, or 2) RAW only, or 3) JPEG only. Selecting the "RAW only" option might be enough for your workflow.
      Can also untick "Screenshots" to exclude those. And can untick "WhatsApp", though presumably that wouldn't affect images from other messaging apps. Along with a few other options. But it seems "RAW only" would be enough? Then a case of setting up the app to automatically sync those images to a convenient place - eg computer, phone/tablet, WebDAV, FTP, SMB, cloud, iExpand Drive - it seems to have an extensive list.

    • @Wishwader
      @Wishwader 3 года назад

      Just to add to my reply. Had a response from the dev that the RAW/JPEG/both option I mentioned won't help here - it only applies to RAW+JPEG pairs. So standalone JPEGs would be unaffected by this option and still get synced across. Oh well!
      But at least the option to exclude screenshots would help. Not sure if the option to exclude WhatsApp images also applies to other messaging networks too. If I remember correctly, WhatsApp would be the main one given it places images in the photos library automatically, where as others like Telegram keeps the images within the app by default.

    Brilliant breakdown of ProRaw format Joe! I’m an Apple fanboy but absolutely HATE those parts to Apple’s ecosystem. Airdrop is a pain in the butt, the Photos app sucks and the limitations associated with the lightning port (other than not being USB-C) is enough to make anyone go crazy, fanboys included.
    Seems like a few simple fixes on Apple’s behalf would solve a lot of professional’s issues. IMO the iPhone has the best smartphone camera out there but even so it is NOT a device for pros - to suggest that it is a professional camera is a bit of a stretch!

    WORKFLOW SUGGESTION: Save the PRO RAW image to FILES immediately after taking it. It has to be done immediately so it doesn't get compressed when syncing. Later it can be saved to an external SSD. Problem solved.
    Also: RAW POWER is the best editor to handle the Smart HDR PRO RAW.
    Great video, thanks.

    I get the pics off the phone ASAP by uploading them to Google Drive and deleting them on the phone. I can then download them quickly for editing on my PC. At 100 gbps download speed, not much of a problem. Just wish Comcast would increase upload speeds, but it's still not a bad workflow. I pay $3/mo for 200 GB storage on Drive.

      Sorry I should have been clearer, the images I airdrop back to my iPhone aren't necessarily photos/edits from Lightroom. I also have designs and graphic work I use for socials etc. All created in apps other than Lightroom. A basic/common example would be multiple variations of thumbnail designs or story layouts I use for Instagram.

      ​@@BimblesWithACamera Yep, and that's definitely a legitimate workflow as well for the most part. However, it still requires filtering through my camera roll to choose specific images and making sure not to miss any. No big deal, but still something to note. Doing the method that works for me, I can make that choice at the point of shooting the image in the first place, by toggling the raw mode. I didn't mention in this video, but have mentioned in multiple others, I also make use of Lightroom's file renaming and local storage management based on destination, alongside the project/album organisation. This is so I can easily switch to other apps like Capture One in the future. I've used referenced libraries ever since Aperture and it's saved my bacon far too many times when migrating. Lightroom sync doesn't currently allow much flexibility in those options, especially the file naming/local storage management, so either way I would spend time re-organising them and re-locating their files inline with my other images. All in all, I imagine they would even out for time, so I guess it just depends on which way you want to approach it. These old videos might be good reference for my file management if you're interested: Travel setup ruclips.net/video/Bs3BHoevomk/видео.html & Lightroom import (old but same process still applies) ruclips.net/video/jdA8yUUwmnw/видео.html Cheers 👍

    I do the manual method. I import ProRaws after every photo walk or after a few days, then delete them on my phone. ProRaws will fill your iPhone quickly. The rate at which people consider 2-3 minutes "too slow or long" make me scratch my head. Taking photos is manual, life is mabual. And should be so. All- automatic is not something that desirable in my opinion.

    Well, not surprising… Nikon and Atomos teamed up to create ProRes RAW over HDMI from the Z6 to the Ninja… and it works… but the process flow… well, it doesn’t exist! There is NO profile in FCPX to handle it! (Did Apple sabotage the effort?) there are not LUTs to baseline your work and - no matter how hard you try to control the lighting and the exposure - the slightest change and you are color grading from scratch!!! You can try using the Sony Cine profile (Nikon uses the Sony video chip) of your can use Nikon’s NLOG but it’s not like with ProRes RAW shot on a Sony, or Cannon or Red!
    And that’s before we get to SIZE that Apple uses to GOUGE customers into buying every greater - proprietary - hardware/devices!
    To serious edit ProRes RAW you need a dedicated NAS over ThunderBolt (unless you wanna shell out THOUSAND$$$ for hardware that can be handed by Hundred$$$ w/o being Appled!

    Apple ProRAW isn’t great. It still adds sharpening and de-noising, resulting in reduced quality compared to RAW. So there still isn’t a true raw native on iPhone’s camera app. A $300 pixel phone can offer a higher quality raw whereas iPhone 12 Pro Max is over $1000 and it still offers a lower quality raw that adds sharpening.... ProRAW isn’t great considering the price of this phone. It’s stupid. And anyone who praises is it ignorant as hell on the topic of photography. Sheep.
