The main idea is to move the iPhoto app to the Trash, so Spotlight does not see it as installed, reload the AppStore, and then to try to download again from the App Store - from your Purchases tab, not from the main page, since you can neither buy iPhoto nor update it, but you can reinstall, if your AppleID is associated with it. Get iPhoto 9.6.1 if you didn't update before OS.
If you not yet have 9.6.1, update as described here: Tucked in with its typical array of bug fixes and new features, the company rolled out its new ProRAW photo format for the iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max.It’s not on by defaultyou’ll have to go into Settings > Camera > Formats > Apple ProRAW to enable itbut it could open up a lot more potential from your smartphone photos once enabled. You will see a prompt, that the iPhoto Library has been migrated, but just click the "Open iPhoto" button and iPhoto will open the old library. If your iPhoto version is iPhoto 9.6.1, just drag iPhoto from the Applications folder back to the Dock, then click it to launch it. iPhoto should still be in your Applications folder, if you did not uninstall it intentionally.
The update just removed the iPhoto icon from the Dock. Questions?Īny questions about RAW, editing on iPhone and iPad, and the like? Let us know below.How can I get iPhoto back? It says it is no longer available in the UK and all the updates online have been discontinued.
Once you've duplicated your file, you can leave one in Photos as the original RAW file, and feel free to edit the other in-app. Scroll along the bottom section of the Share Sheet until you find the Duplicate button, then tap it.
How to duplicate a RAW file in Photos for iPhone and iPad So, if you used the Crop tool in Photos before bringing an image into Lightroom, you'd only see the cropped JPG when you went to import and not the original RAW file.Īs such, if you plan on editing a file in Photos but also want the original RAW file available for third-party apps, there's a simple way to avoid this stress - duplicate your original file. Unfortunately, even with non-destructive editing, iOS can't differentiate as to which file it should send a third-party app: It treats a sharing app (like Twitter) identically to a photo editing app (like Lightroom). The original RAW file is still there thanks to iOS's non-destructive editing, however, and you can restore it by going back into the editing screen and reverting changes to the original file. This is largely because Photos assumes that, after editing, you're going to share this photo online - and thus, want a nicely-formatted image to use.
("Lossy" because it saves space by throwing away data science says our eyes can't easily notice.) Photos for iPhone and iPad, however, automatically exports to JPG without asking the end-user what they'd like to do. Until now, not much was known about the ProRAW workflow and what type of file the latest iPhone 12 Pro. Apple has released the iOS 14.3 developer beta which, amongst other improvements, includes the new ProRAW photo feature Apple showed off at its virtual iPhone event last month. The issue, however, is with formatting: Most apps let you choose between exporting a small format like JPG, which uses "lossy" compression, and a much larger format like TIFF or PSD, which uses "lossless" compression. Apples new ProRAW image format will capture 12-bit Raw DNG files. This isn't unusual for image editing programs to do - after all, you can't really export an edited RAW file. But when you finish editing, Photos automatically presents you with a converted, compressed file to use elsewhere. In Photos for iPhone and iPad, when you press the Edit button on one of your RAW files, you're editing that sidecar data. RAW files are huge compared to web-friendly-but-highly-compressed formats like JPG - 11MB or more - and as such, when you go to save your edits, you'll want to export it into something more manageable. When you process a RAW file, you're never editing the raw data - instead, you're essentially working with a small sidecar file that tells the RAW file how to process light, saturation, and the like. How RAW processing works on iPhone and iPad But be aware: If you want to edit a RAW file with Photos for iPhone, you're going to want to create a duplicate of it first. You can also process and edit those RAW files directly on your iPhone or iPad using an external editor like Lightroom, and even through the Photos app. Any RAW images you snap in a third-party camera app on your iPhone will show up as RAW on your iPad and Mac, but better yet - you can now import RAW images from your DSLR or other pro camera to your iPhone or iPad and have them sync properly to your Mac.
That means the full image data is pulled right off the camera sensor. Photographers rejoice: As of iOS 10, iCloud Photo Library will sync your RAW files.
