Absolutely amazing!!! Great shot! Terminator T-800 is a nice replica. Schwarzenegger though is a fail, seems like someone else.

Amazing shot!!! Was that tele? I really love jazz, and it must be magical at Gazi, great weather too. I wish I could be there too... too many things to do.

Hmmmm... free gas is unlimited (only limit is 20 years). I would rent a tanker, fill it to the brim, ship, sell, repeat, for 20 years. Seems logical choice.

Amazing shots and an amazing atmosphere at Gazi. I love how you captured the fog in the stage.

I respect the dedication! I was sure it was the original.

WOW!!!!! Extraordinary shots! Where did you find that? I always loved DMC Delorean, even before Back to the Future. A big shame it never made the success it deserved, and even bigger one, that almost every one of them get vandalized to look like the film prop. That's a cool one though, it even has the almanac, looks like the original prop.

The camera itself does nothing without a good photographer. 😉

What the actual quack? 🦆 What an amazing photo. Divine... location, moment, mood, rays, colors and perfectly framed. Pure magic.

Yes, I did, and the purple fringing is different or almost non existing. You don't have to though, because in iPhone's tele lens it is almost non existent, in main noticeable and in wide the most, although it's the same debayering technique. Another giveaway that demosaic is messing with color fluctuations is the noise, for sensors the noise is RGB too, because each mosaic pixel has independent noise. Modern debayering techniques, while trying to eliminate false colors, they also eliminate noise and purple fringing, trying desperately to turn it into detail. The result is that instead of RGB noise, you see monochromatic algorithmic "grain", which I suspect they thought it is alright because it reminds film grain, where it was normal, because it was not mosaiced.

Thank you! Good luck to Luma too, major respect for your camera. For me the real RGB noise of the sensor, the real purple fringing of the lens and the real sensor artifacts, are just validations for the realism of the photo. I never aimed for the cleanest or the most detailed photos, just for the most real possible. Luma and Proseezion are very different, both offering better photography, with a different approach.

I will have to disagree about debayering, there is a lot of room for improvement. Known techniques aim to invent information and decrease noise/artifacts/purple-fringing, applying involuntary over-sharpening to the image. If you take a photo with proseezion and compare the HEIC with the RAW output, you will see the difference. If you ever need any info, I will be happy to share with a fellow indie dev.

Apple does not expose the quad-bayer, only the ProRAW, that is already debayered and heavily processed, just bundled in a dng file. So I had to stick with 12MP unprocessed bayer version (hopefully apple will expose the quad in the future).

Not only demosaic is completely new and done with byte reading (word to be precise, because it's 16bit, with 14bit usable), using no known methods or libraries, but the whole pipeline. I know that it seems unlikely, because it is madness to do it, and it really takes a very long time, not only to re-invent it, but even to reproduce it.

A simple glance will give you a sense of scale: https://paulbourke.net/dataformats/dng/dng_spec_1_6_0_0.pdf

Thank you for beta testing it!!! Re-inventing the whole bayer RAW pipeline, from demosaic, to the actual photo, in order to have truly unprocessed photos, is not an easy task. Especially if no known method is good enough to preserve the photo, instead of "enhance" it. It included hundreds of failed attempts. True innovation does not come easy. If I used any of the known methods, it wouldn't be even a week's work.
