I noticed that the zero process RAW files from the main camera on my 15 Pro Max are 12 Mpx. Why? Am I doing something wrong?

To get a 48 Mpx RAW file I have to switch to Apple's ProRAW format.

That's correct. The sensor is 12MP. 48MP files use software to achieve that resolution. What you get with Zero Process is just the RAW data.

Thanks, Derrick, this is an excellent summary/review. I tried to summarize it for friends last week, and you did a way better job of it!

I think the subscription may have already gone up. Their 8/14 website post included: "For the rest of this week, we’re going to offer memberships at $11.99 per year. That's just $1 per month. Starting next week, new memberships will cost $19.99."

Halide (apparently pronounced HAY-LYED) is my go-to app, unless I'm shooting videos or panos. I think your postcard analogy for computationally processed images is right on. I've been using "Travel Poster look" but am switching to "Postcards". Thanks again!

Thanks for this. Does Process Zero remove all the sharpening applied by default by Apple? That’s the most objectionable part of iPhone photos to me, the completely over the top sharpening allied with aggressive noise control for that specially artificial, waxy look.

Yes it does.
