New iPhone Camera App Records Developed Raw Images
The British Journal of Photography reports that the 645 Pro iPhone app is the first with the capability to take developed raw images. According to the app developers, these are TIFF images that "have had no in-app post-processing applied and, critically, no JPEG compression at any stage." The app also creates JPEG files of the raw images.
The developers expect 645 Pro to be most beneficial for professional photographers and serious amateurs who want more control of every setting, such as image quality, spot metering, white balance, exposure and auto-focus.
The 645 app is compatible with the iPhone 4 and 4S using iOS 5.0 or above. The camera app is available from the iTunes store for $2.99.
