CAPTURING REALITY RAW FILES ISO

Again, this may seem counterintuitive, but a little grainy noise looks better than processed noise reduction, in my opinion.

CAPTURING REALITY RAW FILES ISO

For higher ISO images lower the details value to correspond with the luminance value. This compensates for the softness of the high noise reduction. Nose Reduction Details: вЂ¦ the details slider to 100 as well.However, perhaps somewhat counterintuitively, the higher ISO, the more this noise reduction started to look over processed, and so, bizarrely, lowering this value for higher ISO images may produce a more pleasing look. The iPhone sensor does contain a little noise, especially in the shadows and a high value here gets rid of that. Noise Reduction Luminance Amount: Set this to between 50 and 100.Halo Reduction: Set this to 100, because it helps soften the edges slightly, which will still show some harshness and aliasing, even with the settings above.Threshold: I set this to 0.5 so as to lessen the artefacts that occur when the threshold causes sharpening cut-off and it make the image look a bit less вЂњdigitalвЂќ.I find that again, this gives the details in your image a more organic and natural looking structure than the default value of 0.8 This is because of the nature of the camera sensor, the size of the elements and so on.

Radius: I recommend a setting of 1.2 here.

This will give you a more natural look, with less aliased edges and over sharpening artefacts. Because of the nature of the iPhone camera, you actually donвЂ™t need much sharpening in Capture One at all.

Sharpness: The sharpening is way too high in my opinion.

You may need less correction if youвЂ™re using a different iPhone or a different lens, such as the telephoto, on the iPhone 11 for example. I find this to b the best setting for the iPhone XR.

Go to the lens correction panel, and set the вЂњLight FalloffвЂќ amount to 50. For the camera on my iPhone XR, this is what I did.

Correct for the Vignetting: The first thing you want to do is correct for the vignetting.

Important Note: Make sure to view at 1:1 when adjusting things like sharpening and noise reduction, or the scaling and previewing system that Capture One uses will distort your results and you wonвЂ™t get an accurate representation of your changes. With that in mind here are the settings I suggest you change. While some people might not care about this, or even prefer it, I like to have my images looking as natural as possible. The result is a significant amount of over sharpening. In particular the sharpening is way too high, as it treats it like a normal DNG. To optimise your iPhone raw photos in Capture One, youвЂ™ll need to change some of the default settings. While there is no major distortion to worry about there is some heavy vignetting, and this isnвЂ™t compensated for, but you can fix this pretty easily. Secondly, there is no lens profiles either. There is no camera profiles, and instead it relies not he generic DNG file. The DNG files are read inside of Capture One perfectly fine, but there are a few caveats. For the purposes of this article, I was using RAW files from my iPhone XR.

CAPTURING REALITY RAW FILES SOFTWARE

Inside of Capture One, the software supports the iPhone images from most recent iPhones. Whatever you use, once you get the RAW files onto your computer, you can import them into Capture One just as you would any other photo. In this case you will need to use Lightroom on the desktop to get the RAW files out of the software. I normally use the camera app inside Adobe Lightroom Mobile, as this in my opinion, is one of the best options, especially as it syncs to the Adobe cloud. This will either end up on the camera roll in the Photos app, or depending on the App you may be able to export it to files or dropbox. If you use an app that shoots RAW on your iPhone, and there are many, you will get a DNG file as the outputted format.
