HTC's camera app has been updated on the Play Store and M9 owners now get RAW Support.

OK - the raw format here is the standard Adobe digital negative format - DNG file type - so it does need post processing - and you can do it on the HTC M9.


Check out "Raw Decoder Free" -

Remember the processing rules for raw images -

1 pixel = 3 subpixels

For 8-bit color processing per subpixel (aka 24-bit color) -

1 pixel => 3 bytes

1 pixel => 6 bytes for 16-bit processing.

A 20 MP picture could go as high as 60 or 120 MB when done.

And because you can use sd cards in the M9, you won't care any more than you would with a digital camera offering raw quality pictures.


Check out "Photo Mate R2" for full power editing and decoding -
