The resulting images were substantially better than anything that comes directly out of the phone, or out of any of the other RAW editors I’ve tried, and were actually pretty reasonable given the challenging conditions I took them in.Įvery time this comes up, there’s discussion of alternative RAW developers, and in my case, that’s not helpful. The results from DxO were pretty good, even if the actual photos suffered due to my inability to reposition myself and create a well-composed photo. I’m fortunate in that I have the iPhone XR at the moment, and I can actually get DxO PhotoLab to process the RAWs if I bodge the metadata so that it thinks it’s dealing with an iPhone X instead. When dealing with low light and the tiny sensors, you’re going to be contending with image noise, and whilst advances in computational photography are all well and good for landscapes or still life, you can’t defy the laws of physics when you’re dealing with moving subjects and a “there and then it’s gone” moment. The RX100 may be small, but it won’t fit in a jeans pocket alongside a wallet, phone, and keys. These are also the most difficult times to use a phone camera.

Nights out, concerts, an unexpected evening meal with family or friends These are the times when I’ll use a phone as a point and shoot camera, simply because I don’t have anything else. That’s all well and good, but there are still times when even a camera like that is seriously inconvenient or inappropriate. My go-to for small, convenient carry is currently an RX100, which fits in a belt bag, and is small enough that I’m not going be bothered wearing it when out and about. When I’m out and about “doing stuff” where I may want to take photos, I’ll usually take a proper camera. iPhones and iPads are what are in people’s hands, at least in the English speaking world. Ignoring Apple’s market share and the relative quality of their products is unwise.įor all of my personal misgivings about Apple, we spend about 1/3 of our development time supporting iOS at my main gig.

Apple is mostly a software company run by supply chain managers at this point. Probably dates back to the DxO One failure where I would bet someone at Apple encouraged DxO to launch and then reneged on some marketing/support promises post-launch.I agree with DxO – one can’t trust Apple even a smidgeon since the passing of Steve Jobs.

The lack of support for iPhone RAW is madness. Just hearing that Photolab doesn’t support iPhone RAW at this point prevents many of them from considering switching to Photolab seriously. I can’t believe that DxO do not see the commercial value of providing iPhone DNG support as most/many pro and high end amateur photographers also have recent iPhones and use them. I suggest we continue to put pressure (a lot of pressure) on DxO to add iPhone support. Let’s not give up the best RAW development tool in Christendom over iPhone support. One should slowly say goodbye to Photolab.

When will DxO add back iPhone DNG support to Photolab so we could spend our time amazing one another with the incredible mobile photos we took and processed in Photolab and less time suggesting workarounds to one another? Frustrating.Įven the iPhone 10 are only rudimentarily included. I wouldn’t buy it if you don’t own it already through a bundle but Luminar apparently support iPhone RAW (time for me to dust off my old copy though I don’t like Luminar much) and On1 (which I also didn’t like much, although I find On1’s marketing more appealing than Skylum) which definitely supports iPhone RAW.

Perhaps there are some Windows specific editors.

Plus the workflow is nothing like as intuitive or enjoyable (had to take the image to Acorn to do some cloning and to clean up some hot chroma spots). The results were good (not great) but ID is much, much slower than Photolab, mainly because of the slow updates to preview. I trotted it out today after recommending ID to you earlier and processed a couple of images. No need to regret Iridient Developer too much.

I had forgotten Iridient Developer is Mac only.

Unfortunately, Iridient Developer is for Mac only so that’s no help.
