    I’m starting a new topic for RAW 9, which is part of the OS 27 releases. I have already spent some time with it, so I am here to answer your questions. Post away!

    Hello Nik ! So Apple DOES change your plans in this WWDC ?
    Has I understand the raw engine will be updated with denoising during the demosaicing process. ( ala Dxo ´s one)
    First question : where is the list of supported cameras ?
    First bis : in case of non supported cameras do you have any possibility to extend the comptatibility with RawBridge ?
    Second : any possibilities of fine tuning on your side ? If yes what are the types of control ?
    Third : any thoughts concerning the monochrom raws ?
    Last one : is it good ? ( comparing to Dxo’s )

    Thanks!

    First bis : in case of non supported cameras do you have any possibility to extend the comptatibility with RawBridge ?

    I don’t know yet – I’m sure I can add new cameras, and I think we will get some of the improvements. Still needs investigation, but I’m hopeful.

    Second : any possibilities of fine tuning on your side ? If yes what are the types of control ?

    Most of the tuning controls are still available.

    Third : any thoughts concerning the monochrom raws ?

    No idea at all.

    Last one : is it good ? ( comparing to Dxo’s )

    No idea how it compares to DxO. I do see noticeable improvements in noise reduction with some high ISO Canon RAWs that I have.

    Thanks for the list of supported cameras. I just looked at a 16,000 ISO image from a Leica M11, and the noise reduction on Mac OS 27 hasn’t improved. Now I know why. 🙂

    I don’t have a supported camera, so will have to wait. I ran the same 16k image through LR’s AI noise, and it’s a pretty high bar for RAW 9 to beat.

    Here’s a 100% crop if you’re interested. From left to right, Mac OS 27, Nitro, LR.

    The site doesn’t allow uploading images or videos. Both to manage storage and avoid hacks.
