The image was created with an 8 frame stack using the 6mm iPhone X lens, the movement in the trees is due to the stacking though this is possible to avoid with a​ different stack method. This image would easily make a nice 5 by 7-inch​ print, maybe even larger, the option could get you out of trouble in a pinch. I find these stack images give a lovely long tonal range look.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/rawcropoly14mm.jpgrawcropoly14mmhttps://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/rawcropiphone4mm.jpgChromatic Aberration edge crop, iPhone 4mmYou're looking at 100% views of uncorrected Raw images taken from the left corner of the 14mm frames, yep this is how your RAWs/DNGs look under the hood. The top one is the Olympus 12-40mm and the bottom the iPhone 4mm. The disturbing telltale CA is visible in the Olympus frame whereas​ the iPhone has no visible CA.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/oly17mm.jpgoly17mmhttps://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/40mmcropiphone.jpg40mmcropiphoneTop, is the 100% crop from the Olympus at 40mm and below we have the iPhone 6mm which​ has been cropped and upsized to match the Oly's 16 megapixels. The differences are obvious but the iPhone is better than I expected, the stacked version not shown here is much closer to the Olympus.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/oly14mmweiredge.jpgOly14mmweiredgehttps://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/oly14mmweir.jpgoly14mmweirhttps://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/17mmolycrop.jpg17mmOlycrop2019-11-22T04:45:31+00:00monthlyhttps://iphoneraw.com/2018/02/26/iphone-x-tele-lens-part-2-the-raw-truth/https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/walkwayiphonefull2.jpgRailway Toilet Block Test image, iPhone X, corner colour shiftThis pic of the Toilet Block on Goulburn Railway Station has not had the profile applied that fixes the corner red-shift, nor has the colour been fine-tuned. The pic looks a little pink, ​but I don't think most people would find any issue. One side aspect of note is that the fine mesh on the walkway above the railway is nice and clear, the highlight of the sky have not etched into the details which indicate good flare control.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/trainyellowtlc2.jpgTrack Repair LocoTLC image, Track Repair Machine in Coolamon NSW. This is an extreme contrast situation but the file holds information from deep shadows through to bright sun-bleached whites, it is also very highly resolved.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/tractor100isotlc2.jpgTLC TractorA tractor shot deep inside a shed at 100ISO using TLC at the Coolamon showground, minimal noise reduction was applied, this adds a bit of filmic grain but importantly kept the micro details perfectly recorded on the grille etc. Overall the pic looks a lot like it was shot on colour neg film and the file remains easily tweakable.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/tlcracetrack16iso2.jpgCoolamon Race TrackAnother TLC frame of Coolamon Race Track in country NSW. The image was captured at 16 ISO and shows excellent detail rendering. Also evident is the high level of corner definition, there is little fall-off in overall detail even at the extreme corners. There is some residual vignetting, ​but it is not colour shifted as was the case with earlier iPhones.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/tlciso16edit2.jpgAbandoned Fire Truck at Coolamon TrackAbandoned Fire Truck at Coolamon Track. I held back the exposure to ensure the highlights were fully recorded and used the TLC method for capture. The lens is excellent at capturing fine textural information which is perfect for this type of image and makes it an ideal candidate when you want to convert the images to monochrome. Gain there are no apparent​ issues or cross frame clarity, vignetting, CA or anything else. At first, I thought the picture showed some Barrel distortion, but I no feel it was an issue with the subject and the lining up of the shot.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/tlccrop16isoracetrack2.jpgCoolamon Race Track Crop 16 ISOThis crop represents a 100% of the above image (assuming you open it full size for viewing). A couple of small things can be gleaned from this, the lens and sensor has no problem resolving high levels of micro detail, the edges are pretty much as good as the centre of the frame, ​and you can get blooming/flare on very bright elements such as the white fence but it is well controlled and easily kept in check by holding the exposure back just a little.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/tlccoolomonmain2.jpgCoolamon Main Street NSW, iPhone X Telephoto lens test.I was running a quick and dirty test to see if I could see any distortion in regular pics using the iPhone X telephoto lens, none of the test shots showed up anything of bother. This test frame is a TLC image, ​and one thing it demonstrates is the extreme tonal range rendering of TLC files. The shot is in direct and very intense afternoon summer sun with very deep shadows in under the awnings and shop windows, other than a little bit of clipping on some near white painted areas the image holds detail throughout the entire tonal range. Usually, I would need an HDR approach to get this result, which in this case is really quite like colour neg film.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/tlc100cropfiretruck16iso2.jpgCrop of Firetruck shot above.​Crop of Firetruck shot above. Great texture recording and clarity leaving plenty of room for contrast boosting and other editing tweaks. Basically, we have a nicely pushable file. https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/teleedit2.jpgOverall view of Goulburn Railways station with iPhone Tele lensMy Standard lens and camera test location, problems show up very quickly due to straight lines, lots of fine details and high contrast subject, this is a test frame taken with the iPhone X telephoto lens. Looks good but let's​ see how the iPhone X compares to M4/3https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/pejar2.jpgpejar2018-02-26T09:00:59+00:00monthlyhttps://iphoneraw.com/2018/02/14/iphone-x-tele-lens-how-good-part-one/https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/miltcrop.jpgmiltcrophttps://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/usoverexp.jpgTwo of us in Korean Restaurant.My son grabbed this hot with my iPhone X, the colour is a little too intense being taken under tungsten light, ​but the effect of the portrait mode blur is quite lovely. Ideally, ​the exposure would need to be shorter to prevent the clipping of the highlights on Wendys' shirt and my shirt collar. This shot would likely edit fine, the tip is to allow for the editing when shooting, sometimes a darker initial capture is better.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/steering.jpgOld Wooden Steering WheelAlthough portrait mode is not really intended for non-portrait images is does an excellent​ job on occasions, this is one of them, but the results can be very patchy. Fortunately, ​the effect can be turned off after the shot is taken.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/steelorig.jpgAlloy Sculpture FailSometimes for no apparent reason, ​the portrait mode fails miserably​​, in this case, it blurred one side of the sculpture in the middle, a monochrome version without the effect is below. Ideally, I would like the background blur, but it would need to be done in post​​, I made several attempts​ to coax the portrait mode into working with this pic but nothing succeeded. https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/steelfail.jpgsteelfailhttps://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/statelib.jpgWendy at Victoria State LibraryI took this pic of Wendy at the Victoria State Library in Melbourne, it's one of those times the portrait mode worked well producing a very nice background blur effect, I applied a little blur to the foreground in Snapseed to match. Therein​ lies a lesson, often you need to treat the image a starting point as most seem to benefit from a little careful tweaking, especially if you're after a nice monochrome look.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/redcar.jpgVintage Car Interior​​In this case, ​the portrait mode worked well, despite​ the non-portrait subject. Generally, ​the mode performs​ poorly on regular subjects when you go closer than about 1.25m. One issue I've found is that often the colour is too ramped up by default under bright light, but this can be adjusted​ in editing so long as you are careful not to clip the colour data, in other words, ​err on the under-exposure side if in doubt. The cyan on the car in the background is quite over-cooked compared to real life. The main fault here is the mirror on the far side of the red car, it is far too blurred.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/redbike.jpgRedbike Oil PumpResults with complicated close-up shots can be very random, often background areas that appear within voids within the subject fail to blur, in this​ case, that's only an issue in a couple of the small regions​. The actual blur (Bokeh Effect) is nice, though the fall-off into blur is quite abrupt, other apps are able to give much better control over this so falloff control is not beyond the capability of the technology.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/radiator1.jpgRed Radiator Gauge​Sometimes with close up non-portrait subjects the portrait mode nails it, bear in mind I took a few similar shots and only about half were acceptable. My frustration lies with the randomness of the results, I'm sure this will rapidly improve over the next couple of years.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/milton5.jpgBath Time for MiltonMilton loves his bath and the portrait mode worked perfectly here. The trick is to keep​ the exposure "just right" so as not to burn off any of the highlights. The edits were in Snapseed, which included a vignette and sepia tint with low saturation. Honestly, ​this would look lovely as a large scale canvas print.2018-02-14T23:51:46+00:00monthlyhttps://iphoneraw.com/2017/11/01/gone-to-ginza-with-an-iphone/https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/gardeneast.jpgEast garden Imperial palaceEast Garden of the Imperial Palace, you need to walk a little further afield, but it's well worth the time and effort.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/east2.jpgeast2https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/wetwendy.jpgWetwendyGinzaNo cars of many Ginza streets on a Sunday, Wendy, my wife takes shelter under the standards clear umbrella as the Typhoon rains soak the city.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/typhoonginza.jpgtyphoonginzaYes, ​it rains in Tokyo, our second Typhoon of our visit made for damp times, taken from level 9 G.Itoya stationary store.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/timed-tea.jpgtimed teaIt's not often that you tea comes with a golden strainer and a timer, Ginza Miyuki-Kan Ginaza gochome, one of the more specialized coffee and tea houses.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/tea.jpgteashop departmentTypical of the displays you see in the food halls in the basement of most Japanese department stores, in this case, the tea counter.

I added a film grain effect whilst in the app. Anyway I found the files easily converted to monochrome and provided plenty of creative flexibility. That is not always the case with smart phone images. And just in case you are wondering, it's a vacant shop in the main street of Coolamon NSW, Coolamon has lots of vacant shops.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/verandahcrop.jpg100% Verandah CropThis small 100% crop from the Verandah shot earlier in the article gives a good idea of the sort of detail the iPhone 8S Plus DNG files liberate. Textural information in particular is well expressed and should look nice in print.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/teatowelfilmicpc.jpgCoolamon Tea TowellsThe DNG has been edited in Iridient Developer for a slightly filmic look, the iPhone 8S Plus doesn't seem to have strong colour biases, making it easy to liberate any rendering style you want.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/teatowelcrop.jpgTea Towel CropThis 100% crop from the Tea Towel shot above gives a pretty good idea of degree of detail and micro tonality on offer with the DNG files. Really there is nothing to make you think that this is shot with a smart phone camera.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/railbridgeorig.jpgRail Bridge Torture TestThe DNG Torture Test. I shot this image straight into the light just after sunset and exposed to try and keep some colour and detail in the highlights. By the way I did the same with the 6S Plus file but the image was beyond recoverable. So you are looking at the unprocessed image, all I did was open it in Iridient Developer and then click export JPEG. Yep it's pretty terrible.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/railbridgeextract.jpgTorture Test Extracted FileExtracted File. This is the image that came out of Iridient Developer once I had tweaked and fiddled to get the shadows recovered, I left the noise reduction turned down low as I was interested unseeing just how terrible it could be. This version looks much better but not great and don't you just love the crooked stance!https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/railbridgeedit.jpgrail bridge torture test final.So after a spin through Photoshop CC and some selective edits we get this, oh and of course I straightened it a bit as well, though it could use more. Now this is quite acceptable and certainly much better than I expected would be possible. This is a downsized pic but even the full size version is nicely sharp and nowhere near as noisy as you might expect from such an extreme edit. The HDRs taken in Lightroom Mobile should work really well with the 8S Plus, this test also shows why the lighting modes on the 8S plus work as well as they do...basically the shadow recovery is much better and that makes for a more flexible post capture approach.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/mixedlight.jpgmixed light kitchenI took this rough shot in my Daughters kitchen to see how the iPhone 8S Plus DNGs handles mixed colour temperature lighting. Very well in fact, the tungsten is not over powering and the filtered blue daylight through windows is not overly blue. It's a win.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/iphone8snative.jpgiPhone 8S Plus NativeThis is the unprocessed DNG from the iPhone 8S Plus, apart from being lighter the most obvious difference is the file has much lower vignetting and very little red corner shift, it also looks a bit better resolved.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/iphone8sfield.jpgLong Shadows in Field of GreenTaken late in the afternoon just before sunset near Gundagai NSW. Even in this downsized version you can see the DNG file holds a lot of fine detail in the grass. That ability makes photos look more 3 dimensional. Clarity in the close corners looks spot on too.2018-08-22T03:17:01+00:00monthlyhttps://iphoneraw.com/testimonial/testimonials/https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/times-square-2-e1500450352966.jpgtimes square 2Multiple exposure created with an old generation image stacking app, Average Cam Pro.2017-09-29T04:43:32+00:00monthlyhttps://iphoneraw.com/home/books-iphoneography-book-series/2017-09-29T04:40:18+00:00weekly0.6https://iphoneraw.com/books/2017-09-29T04:37:45+00:00weekly0.6https://iphoneraw.com/about/https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/fullsizerender-11bc.jpgMount Maunganui Beach NZBay of Plenty from Maunganui beach2017-09-29T04:33:05+00:00weekly0.6https://iphoneraw.com/2017/07/20/looking-deeper-into-ipad-pro-dng/https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/template.jpgiPad-Pro-DNG-Yellow-Locomotive-GoulburnI was interested in how the TLC-DNG files would edit once extracted, the answer is very well indeed, its's quite easy to get nicely analogue results, no problems with tonal breakup/banding and colour can be nicely subtle. Importantly the files withstand all sorts of sharpening processes without cracking. It's all good!https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/fullsizerender-17.jpgiPad-Pro-10.5-DNG-Monochrome-Across-the-Platform-Goulburn-Railway-StationSometimes test shots work out nice in themselves and quite like this one, perhaps it is the layered effect. Anyway it shows how the deep shadows (under the bridge) hold up pretty well. Nothing is clipped either.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/fullsizerender-16.jpgMonochrome-iPad-Pro-10.5-wide-tonal-range-goulbrun-railwayI took this to test the dynamic range possibilities, the fluorescent light was the brightest element, the shadows under the carriage are very deep. The result is excellent for a non HDR capture, nothing is bleached and the dark tones sit where they should, it would be possible to pull more out of the shadows at the expense of a little more noise.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/fullsizerender-15.jpgiPad-Pro-DNG-Wide-Tonal-Range-Looking South Goulburn Railway PlatformThe impressive aspect of this test frame is the full tonality from shadow to highlight, this is not a HDR image. The deep shadows have been pushed in the conversion and held together well without breakup. Quite impressive really.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/fullsizerender-14.jpgiPad-Pro-DNG-Men-Loos-Goulburn-Railway-Platform PlatformYou can't see it at this size but in the full size image the bricks on that building under the signals on the middle left can be seen.

couple of things will be obvious, the colour is more muted and film like, and even at this small size it appears to have more fine detail and more natural level of clarity, in other words it doesn't look "forced" in the way JPEGs do. https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/tlccropcent.jpgWindellama Road TLC cropThe crop however shows where the rubber meets the road fine detail is just

with the iPad Pro would be excellent. https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/blowholepoint.jpgKiama-Blowhole-Point-iPad-Pro-10.5in-DNGIn this case the image is a TLC - DNG and even in this downsized image it's obvious that the photo possesses excellent textural information, the contrast range is very high as the inherently dark rock face is in deep shade, still it holds some solid detail and the breaking surf on the rocks still has full tonality.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/blowholeparkcrop.jpgKiama-Blowhole-Park-100%-crop-ipad-pro-10.5in-DNG-Test-ImageBut just take a look at this crop  (note this is TLC -DNG so represents the ultimate possible image quality you could get from a single frame capture), basically we have an image crop that exceeds a 100% view and have a look at that sign, now you can't read it of course but it's pretty obvious it has writing and icons on it, what's even more impressive is that tonally the sign is very high up on the scale yet it holds full detail, it's not even close to clipped....impressive indeed!https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/blowholepark.jpgblowholeparkhttps://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/blowhole.jpgiPad-Pro-shoots-Kiama-Blowhole-DNGKiama Blowhole, taken with my iPad Pro 10.5 using DNG (UniWb).https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/blowhole-park.jpgBlowhole-park-crowds-iPad-Pro-10.5in-DNGThis image is particularly telling, first we have a square crop of the original 4:3 aspect ration frame, you can take it from me the cropped off sections are just as detailed and clear.  The sky is nicely done and shows no banding, this image has not been corrected for vignetting so the corners are a little darker than the middle but that's easily fixed if desired.

vastly better than what you would expect to get from the standard JPEG capture.https://iphoneraw.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/07/2017-07-16-15-14-18-1000aedit.jpgKiama Blowhole
