An image taken in ProRAW mode combines the same great post-processing flexibility of a traditional RAW file with the benefits of multi-frame computational photography. Kind of the best of both worlds! But once you\u2019ve <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theverge.com\/23624251\/iphone-proraw-camera-how-to-apple\">gone through the steps to enable it on your iPhone<\/a> and have taken your photo, that\u2019s when the real work starts: processing and converting it to a shareable format like JPEG, PNG, or HEIF.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>ProRAW files are saved in Adobe\u2019s ubiquitous DNG format, which is compatible with virtually every RAW photo editing app under the sun. That means you have a lot of options, including just sending the file to a computer and using desktop software. But you don\u2019t need access to a computer \u2014 you can process your image right on your phone, either using a third-party app or Apple\u2019s own editing tools. Here\u2019s how to go about it. (I followed these steps on an iPhone 14 Pro running iOS 16.3.1.)<\/p>\n<p><h4>Editing and sharing a ProRAW photo with Apple Photos<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t need to download a separate app to edit ProRAW DNG files \u2014 Apple\u2019s own Photos app will do the job. A third-party app will give you a lot more control, but for quick and basic functions like boosting exposure, Apple\u2019s app is just fine.<\/p>\n<div>\n<ul>\n<li>Open your RAW photo and tap edit in the top right of the screen<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019re viewing your image in the camera app gallery, the edit options will appear at the bottom of the screen<\/li>\n<li>Scroll through the adjustment options below your image and use the tools you would like<\/li>\n<li>You can tap the three-ring filter icon at the bottom of the screen to apply a filter. This is not to be confused with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2021\/9\/14\/22666884\/iphone-13-pro-max-specs-price-release-date-cameras\">Apple\u2019s Photographic Styles<\/a>, which are \u201cbaked in\u201d to the capture process<\/li>\n<li>If you need to rotate the photo, use the crop tool, the icon on the bottom right of the editing pane<\/li>\n<li>Tap <strong>Done<\/strong> at the bottom right of your screen to save your changes. There\u2019s no option to save it as a separate image, but you can always revert your changes to the original by opening it again in the Photos app, tapping the three-dot menu icon in the upper right, and choosing <strong>Revert to Original<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve made edits to your RAW file, you can use the Photos app\u2019s sharing functions to export a JPEG version of your image. You can email it, post it to Instagram, or put it on your digital picture frame \u2014 it\u2019s your choice.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Zoom\" tabindex=\"0\">\n<p><span><span><\/span><img alt=\"Screenshot of an image in edit view of Apple Photos app.\"   src=\"https:\/\/duet-cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/0x0:1179x2556\/2400x5203\/filters:focal(590x1278:591x1279):format(webp)\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/24495197\/IMG_3212.PNG\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"responsive\" loading=\"lazy\" data-old-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\"><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><figcaption><em>Apple\u2019s Photos app provides basic editing functions.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Zoom\" tabindex=\"0\">\n<p><span><span><\/span><img alt=\"Screenshot of final image and app sharing options.\"   src=\"https:\/\/duet-cdn.vox-cdn.com\/thumbor\/0x0:1179x2556\/2400x5203\/filters:focal(590x1278:591x1279):format(webp)\/cdn.vox-cdn.com\/uploads\/chorus_asset\/file\/24495220\/IMG_3213.PNG\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"responsive\" loading=\"lazy\" data-old-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\"><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><figcaption><em>Once you\u2019re happy with your edits, you can use any of the sharing functions, and the app will automatically share a JPEG.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><h4>How to export a ProRAW file from your iPhone<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n<p>So what if you want to export the original RAW image?
