How to take photos in RAW format with the iPhone or iPad in iOS 10

The new iPhone models, especially the Plus model, have brought us a new way to capture our favorite moments, thanks to the options offered by the device's two cameras: wide-angle and telephoto. But you don't have to have the latest iPhone to be able to take advantage of the quality offered by the camera of our iPhone model, but thanks to third-party applications we have great possibilities.

In a native way, unlike other manufacturers, iOS 10 still does not allow us to save photos in RAW format, raw, that is, without compression or any type of treatment that our device can perform once the image has been captured. To be able to take captures with our device we will have to resort to third parties, if we want to modify them from our device.

But if we want to obtain good results, the best option is to capture the photograph with our device, better with a reflex camera and later process it on our computer. But if our intention is to carry out the entire process through our iPhone or iPad, then we will show you some of the best applications that allow us to capture our favorite moments in RAW format.

In the App we can find other applications that allow us to capture in RAW format, but include it as an option, not as an available function that can give us some other problem when processing the images later.

Edit images in RAW format on our iPhone

The possibilities that RAW images offer us are endless if we buy them with the few options that the PNG or JPG format offers us. The images in this format allow us to save the photograph as is, talking about the values ​​used by the camera to make the capture, values ​​that we can modify to adjust the image to our needs or to reality, it all depends. This type of format allows us to modify the color, the temperature (ideal for when capturing with artificial light), the exposure, the contrast, the luminosity, the saturation, the white balance.

To be able to modify these values, not all, through our device the only app that has truly proven its worth is Lightroom from Adobe, one of the most used applications in its desktop version by photographers. Logically, as I mentioned above, if we want to obtain the best results it is best to use the computer instead of the iPhone or iPad.

Another application that we can use to modify our photos on the iPhone is Photoraw, an application intended for photography professionals, since it is compatible with all the RAW formats of most professional cameras on the market, including the latest Canon and Nikon models.
