• Are average phone camera sensors good enough to get something better than the processed jpg out?

    The advantage of raw is you can edit better, in a non-destructive way.

    So the question perhaps should be ... is the average phone user good enough to process something better than the jpeg?

  • Yes, there's the non-destructive edit benefit I guess. I was more wondering whether the RAW from a small phone sensor would contain enough detail to allow that editing.

  • Not sure I understand then.

    It’s the file type that allows raw editing, not the resolution or level of information.

  • You're wondering if the RAW file will contain enough information in blown out highlights and blacked out shadows to pull them back in post, right ? I guess just under and over expose a few photos and have a go ?

    I have found jpg processing in phone is getting a lot better now. The jpg's out of my XR seem a lot nicer than the ones I was getting out of my 6S+ previously for example.
