iPhone: Now, shoot RAW images from your iPhone

NEW DELHI: Apple has announced that it will add the ability to capture RAW images to iPhones, starting with iOS 10. While the iOS camera app does not have the functionality to capture RAW images,
iPhone users can use
Adobe's Lightroom app for the same.

The only requirement to be able to take RAW images is that the iPhone must be running iOS 10 and have a 12MP iSight camera. This means that compatible devices are iPhone 6/6 Plus, iPhone 6s / 6s Plus, iPhone 7/7 Plus, iPhone SE, and even iPad Pro 9.7.

Images captured in RAW format are not compressed and no post-processing effects are applied to them, unlike those captured with the standard camera application. As a result, users can adjust or enhance images to their liking to get the best out of them.

Adobe Lightroom captures RAW images in DNG format. It has also been expanded, the color gamut has also been expanded to match the new screens and camera on the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.

Earlier this year, Adobe released a major update to its Lightroom app for
Mobile photography on iOS and Android.

For iOS users, the updated Adobe Lightroom v2.4 brings two major improvements. First there is the ability to import images in RAW format and edit them.

On Android,
Adobe Lightroom for Android v2.1 brings a new Pro mode to its built-in camera option in DNG RAW mode. As expected, the mode allows users to take control of white balance, ISO, and focus, all within a new interface. There's also a new Lightroom7 camera widget that directly activates Lightroom's built-in camera.
