For several years, Halide has provided RAW support, but “Process Zero” is a little better.
Being named as the premium camera substitute for the iPhone, Halide provides a rather sophisticated application that may open numerous opportunities for the manual manipulation of the shots taken. Today, the followers of this technology are in the spotlight since the application has just benefited from a major update, delivering an intriguing proposal: to develop an ‘anti-intelligent’ camera.
The most important advantage of owning a camera with a ‘better’ mode is a more user-friendly RAW format.
These photographers who like to apply advanced digital still image techniques are not ignorant of Halide’s RAW format or even the RAW formats offered by all camera digital manufacturers. RAW sends all the data captured by the camera’s sensor unchanged or rarely improves it while the iPhone mainly stores photographs in a compressed format as do most other digital cameras.
Halide’s new format, termed the “Process Zero,” the application attempts to demystify the manipulation of the format utilised by digital camera. The options available when opening the app are: RAW (Apple’s own RAW format with some image corrections), RAW (Apple Processed – same computational photography as native Apple Camera app) and RAW with Process Zero.
Process Zero: More Latitude in Image Manipulation
On the one hand, Process Zero allows the user to obtain the RAW file in which the user may immediately alter the brightness of the image. This is probably one of the primary reasons shooting in RAW allows flexing the intensity on a dark photograph or toning down the brightness on an image that is overexposed. After this change, Halide makes a new JPEG file with the RAW and brightness adjustment, which is useful to be exported to other apps such as Instagram, VSCO, Lightroom, and others.
For several years, Halide has supported RAW, but “Process Zero” is slightly more tolerable.
As the direct analog of the iPhone camera replacement, Halide offers quite elaborate application that can unlock a lot of potential for the manual management of the captured photographs. Today, the followers of this technology are in the spotlight since the application has just benefited from a major update, delivering an intriguing proposal: to invent an ‘anti-intelligent’ camera or Soviet ideology’s disembodied penis.
The single greatest benefit of owning any camera with a ‘better’ mode is a finally sensible RAW format.
Those photographers who enjoy using highly technical digital still image processing techniques are certainly not in the dark about Halide’s RAW format or the RAW formats available for all camera digital brands. RAW transfers all the data received from the camera sensor without alteration or infrequently enhancing it while the iPhone’s primary storage of photographed images compresses files as do virtually all other digital cameras.
In order to ‘decipher’ the manipulation of the format adopted for the photographic application, Halide comes up with a new format known as the ‘Process Zero.’ The options available when opening the app are: RAW (Apple’s own RAW format with some image corrections), RAW (Apple Processed – similar to the computational photography applied by native Apple Camera application) and RAW with Process Zero.
Process Zero: Less Restriction with regard to Manipulation of Images
On the one hand, Process Zero enables the user to achieve the original RAW picture in which the brightness of the picture may directly be changed by the user. This is very likely one of the reasons why shooting in RAW enables one to adjust the intensity on a dark picture or reduce the brightness on a picture that has been overexposed. After this change, Halide creates a new JPEG with the RAW and brightness adjustment which is beneficial to export to other applications like Instagram, VSCO Lightroom, and others.
