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!
erutanOn that note - how is this different from just shooting in (non Pro) RAW with smartest processing turned off in previous updates aside from the image lab side?
Is it stripping even more processing out, or is it really the image lab functionality which will make standard RAW more appealing to folks?
@erutan basically, you choice was to either process that raw file in an editor or use Apple's processing for a JPEG. Now we have our own, minimal process!
@sdw ok that makes sense, thanks for clarifying!
It's kind of amusing to use the processing lab as a hook into shooting pure RAW (and how people are pleasantly surprised by it). I think the subtitles make the differences clearer.
It is a much nicer workflow (ProRAW does tend to come out looking much better as it's already processed) and it'll be fun to test out but I was wondering if I was missing something on the capture side, as zero processing seemed like it had been in there for years. :)
