sdwI think the Halide update made me realize how badly I need to write / record a Q&A on what RAW images and image processing really are.
This stuff is hard to understand and the latter basically indistinguishable from magic nowadays!
Andy Bold@sdw I love Process Zero.
Phones are great at making photos that look “good”, but they often don’t look “right”. I haven’t been this excited about phone photography since Hipstamatic leaned into “The camera is a bit rubbish”. Now it’s “The camera is great - let’s let it shine.”
I cannot wait to see what’s next.
@andybold well said!!
erutanYeah a friend asked how one of my photos was so crisp, I explained shooting RAW and how the iPhone sort watercolor smears things. They showed me a photo of a bee they took with the camera app as proof you didn't need to shoot RAW - it looked really unnatural to me (the wings were super HDRed) but I didn't rain on their parade. :)
