Google wants to bring RAW photo support to more third-party camera apps

Smartphone photography is evolving, with many users seeking to enhance their photos despite being satisfied with default images. The limitations of JPEG format restrict editing potential, prompting an upcoming update to the Jetpack CameraX library that will support RAW photo capture. RAW photography preserves unprocessed image data, allowing for greater flexibility in post-processing, though it results in larger file sizes compared to JPEG. Editing RAW photos requires time and expertise, which is why many Android camera apps do not default to this option. Historically, the Jetpack CameraX library only supported JPEG image capture, while the Android Camera2 API offered RAW capabilities. The recent release of CameraX version 1.5.0-alpha03 introduces two new output formats: OUTPUTFORMATRAW for single RAW images and OUTPUTFORMATRAW_JPEG for simultaneous capture of RAW and JPEG images, with RAW images saved in Adobe DNG format. This support for RAW photography marks a significant shift in CameraX's functionality, likely expanding creative possibilities for third-party apps.
