48MP Natural Processing

Aim to deliver higher-resolution “natural” photos while keeping the true-to-life look users love.

Context

  • Users love Natural Processing but are revolting against the 12MP limitation.

  • To get users the most “natural and untouched” photo we build our Natural Image from the Pixel Binned Raw Pipeline.

    So we can’t directly just allow Natural Processing to do 48MP.

  • But we have considered:

    • A ProRaw Natural (lite) alternative

    • or to get more mystical and see what we can do with image stacking and such

    I really like the option to use 48MP / ProRAW Natural processing.

    Though, I’d like this to also be saved in Presets. At the moment it appears to not save and thus is a manual setting to do each time.

      That is just an artifact of the beta. It won’t be this way when it’s ready for the public.

    Novice here. So, if I was skilled enough, I could mimic your Natural Processing using ProRes Raw?

      In theory yes, I already see some apps using this method

      The general tone, yes. Recreating some of the finer points would be difficult to impossible because ProRAW bakes certain “enhancements” in from the beginning.

    I have recently researched the functionality of the sensor and I understand now better why the natural processing is limited to 12 megapixels. However, I also would request to see a natural processing for a 48 megapixel image. Even though it might have some more processing that is forced based on Apple, it would be lovely to kind of have this option similar style as it is currently implemented for the natural processing 12 megapixel image meaning that it has the raw capability to be stored as well as the edited natural image for now this really has a great look that is kind of like a default amazing camera that can take amazing pictures of, in my case, my newborn son, but it also keeps the flexibility to have the RAW file as an alternative when I actually want to go deeper into a photo and make my own edits.

      Love it, and totally agree.
