I suspect that method 1 actually saves the low quality JPEG that was embedded in the original RAW file while method 2 produces a new JPEG version of the RAW photo using Apple’s own RAW engine on the Mac, and then syncs that newly created JPEG to iPad’s photo library. This is confusing and inconsistent.
#Apple snapseed photo editing full size#
Both ways add the full size JPEG of the RAW+ JPEG pair to your iPad photo library while the RAW will be kept somewhere in the cloud.įor RAW only photos, however, the import method does matter! In my tests the first method added a black and white JPEG to the photo library while the second method delivered a color JPEG. I learned that the import method does not really matter for RAW+ JPEG pairs.
#Apple snapseed photo editing mac#
Both photos were imported from the camera to as well my Mac as my iPad into their respective Apple Photos libraries.Both photos were shot in black and white to test if the apps access the RAW (color) or the JPEG (black and white) files.I shot two photos of the same subject with my DSLR: one RAW only and one RAW+ JPEG pair.That’s why I decided to repeat my last year’s tests and share my results with you all. It looks like there has been some improvement in third party applications when it comes to RAW editing in iOS. There is no way to switch from the JPEG to the RAW image in Photos on iOS as you can do in Photos on macOS, right? From a Raw only image the Photos App on iOS uses the embedded JPEG when imported through the lightning SD card reader and the RAW when pulled from macOS through iCloud Photo Library. My findings so far are, that Apple Photos always uses the JPEG out of a RAW/ JPEG pair. So it looks like the problem is not with the third party editors, but with Apple Photos on iOS. This is especially weird because if I do not import RAW only images directly to the iPad but to the Mac first instead and let them sync to the iPad through the iCloud Photo Library, then that image in fact shows up as RAW file in Apple Photos on iOS (confirmed with Metapho) !!! That is… wow… very strange! Oddly enough Snapseed still shows me the Develop tools section which is for RAW files only.įor the RAW only image it seems that all of the three editors now use the embedded JPEG from the camera as the image shows up in B&W too. Same results: All three apps - Apple Photos, Snapseed and Polarr - apparently work with the JPEG from the RAW/ JPEG pair since the image appears in B&W in the editor.
I just did a second test when I imported the images directly to the iPad through my lightning SD card reader. For the above described first test I imported my images to my Mac and then let them sync to the iPad through iCloud Photo Library.
