An annoying oversight is that while my Fujifilm camera is modern enough to shoot HEIF+RAW, Apple Photos only knows to group JPEG+RAW as a single photo. Because Apple did not spend a day of engineering time bringing feature parity for the file format they themselves promoted, it has turned into a bigger feature to match and merge the HEIF and RAW assets after the fact. After several years, I'm growing doubtful they'll ever accomplish it.
I have yet to see whether they did it right with JXL+RAW (or is it DNG+RAW?) but hopefully they will before it becomes available in mainstream cameras.
- lonjil 2y agoApple's ProRAW format is Linear DNG, that is to say, already debayered, not what most people would call "raw". Previously they've used Lossless JPEG for compression inside these DNG files, but now they use JXL. The DNG spec also allows for using JXL to compress proper raws, but I don't know if anyone is doing this yet. I know Samsung uses JXL compression in DNGs produced by their phones, but I haven't checked if those are proper raws or debayered.
