As an ex-professional photographer , you should be very aware that RAW does not mean uncompressed or lossless.
Many professional cameras offer lossy and lossless compressed RAW, and have for over a decade now and most are processed to some degree before it’s even written.
RAW hasn’t meant literally raw in a very long time.
- milch 2y agoEven the regular lossless RAW setting can sometimes be "not quite RAW" when the camera dynamically lowers the bitrate it captures at. My camera does anywhere between 12 bits and 14 bits RAW depending on the shooting settings. Many newer cameras have baked-in NR that cannot be disabled (e.g. Canon R5), even on the lossless RAW setting
