Then I converted it to a 16 bit TIF file using JPEG to RAW AI. I then took a favourite DSLR RAW image and converted it without any image adjustments, to a JPEG. This shows that Topaz JPEG to RAW AI is really doing something a bit special.
Yet this 16 bit TIFF was created from the JPEG. Weird.Īside from the car window reflections, the results of the edit are far superior in the 16 bit TIFF to the JPEG. Now, lets look at some 100% comparison crops, with the edited iPhone jpeg on the left and the edited converted TIFF on the right: The JPEG version has far worse artefacts in it The colours and saturation of the bricks are far better in the converted TIFF Curiously, the TIFF version has more artefacts in window’s reflections. I then applied the SAME settings to the original iPhone image: The iPhone image, editedĮven in this reduced size image, the differences are clear.
I didn’t push the editing too far and the result is quite good. I used JPEG to RAW AI and converted it into a 16 bit TIFF file and then loaded the new 16 bit TIFF into Photo Ninja and enhanced the image: 16 bit TIF edited in Photo Ninja If this were a RAW image taken with a dSLR I would be able to bring out significant detail in it. Hardly a work of art but the sky is lacking detail and that’s a good candidate for a test. My first test was to take a quick picture with my iPhone – a 12mp JPEG: The iPhone picture
#TOPAZ JPEG TO RAW AI REVIEWS SOFTWARE#
You can do far more with the same ‘almost right’ RAW picture…īut what if you can turn that JPEG back into a RAW file? Would you then be able to do far more to it? Well, that’s what this software claims… iPhone Photo Test If you have a JPEG that is ‘almost right’ there are limitations that govern how far you can go to make corrections. I can see both sides to the argument… But, from a technical point of view, RAW always has advantages over JPEGs because RAW files allow for far better image enhancement and shadow recovery. They make you a better photographer because you’re not relying on using a computer to improve your image afterwards.Far smaller files, saving space and speeding up your camera as it has less data to write.Provided you got the shot right, the image is ready straight from the camera, saving time.JPEGs compress the image, throwing away some image data.Far better post processing possibilities.Significantly more flexibility when it comes to editing.The debate about RAW vs JPEG has always been one about quality vs convenience.
