This is another great episode on mobile editing. I am super impressed (I am far from an expert) on what you can do on the IOS device. Thanks. Have you ever dabbled in iColorama? I did when it first came out but to me it was very confusing and I didn’t want to take the time to experiment with it. I did to a point but I have other things to keep me busy (I’m 72 and not that my Daytimes is bursting at the seams like days gone by).
Thanks for the kind words, Richard. I know lots of people love iColorama, but, for reasons I don't fully understand, I've never been drawn to it. I see a lot of interesting images created with it. Have fun!
Hello Rad. With respect to the issue of noise, I have experimented with both the HEIC and DNG file (iPhone 11 Pro Max), and found the HEIC file produces significantly lower noise images, especially noticeable in areas of continuous tone, i.e., water and sky. At first I assumed the DNG file provided for better editing, extracting more detail from shadows and highlights or allow for noticeably better Lightroom adjustments, as in the brush tools. However, after my experimentation, I found the HEIC files were better in every aspect, especially in producing virtually noise-free images without further noise adjustments. What do you think? P.S. You and I had dinner together two years ago in Wilmington, Delaware, during a DPS Club meeting. I started doing iPhone photography after your presentation. Thank you.
Hi, Roxy. Sorry for the delayed response. I couldn't remember where I saw your comment! I do remember out dinner in Delaware! Yes, we've noticed the same thing. Not being that technical, I think it has to do with the bit depth of the HEIC format. With an 8 or 10 bit image file, when various computational photography kicks in (like Night Mode and Dark Fusion) the results will rival or exceed those of a processed DNG file. My friend Jack Davis (who is extremely technically knowledgable) are working on some additional webinars on the making IR Images on the iPhone, especially no that we have the 12 Pro Max in our hands!
Hi, Roxy, Great to hear from you! I do like HEIC format, but I've not done the comparison you've done. I'm now shooting with the 12 Pro Max and am shooting Apple's proprietary ProRAW format (exclusive to the 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max) and getting remarkable results. ProRAW combined with the computational photography magic of these newest iPhones has been amazing. I often process these RAW files on the iPhone with Lightroom's terrific RAW editor (which was recently updated to read the ProRAW data).
@@TotallyRadImages Yes, I am also now using the iPhone 12 Pro Max and ProRaw format. I found the file quality is indistinguisable from micro-four-thirds format when making 9 x 12 inch prints, even in lower light levels. Thank you for remembering me.
Hi, Juan, there are a number of camera apps today that record RAW. The iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max now record Apple's proprietary ProRAW format, Camera +2 has RAW options, as does Lightroom for mobile. I take these RAW files into Lightroom or use Apple's iOS editor to process the raw files.
Steve, these images we’re created with a 720nm infrared filter which yields a black&white result. Depending on the quality of light, the photo technique you use, and processing choices, that result will often present green foliage as white and blue sky as black. If you’d like to see what others are doing with IR on the iPhone, I invite you to visit (or join) our Facebook group (facebook.com/groups/iphoneinfrared/?ref=share_group_link). It a great group to network with, trade info, and be inspired.
pro camera app updated recently, so you can set the white balance all the way down to 1000! which should make an IR photographers life easier

How did you create a DNG camera profile for you iPhone to edit infrared images?

Just black and white isn’t it
