> Every year or so, I try to use my Windows PC to convert a RAW photo taken with a high-end Nikon mirrorless camera to a proper HDR photo (in any format) and send it to my friends and family that use iDevices. > This has been literally impossible for the last decade, and will remain impossible until the heat death of the universe.
