That doesn't make sense, RAW is a file format and has nothing to do with AI enhancement. Also, RAW files are not uploadable to websites (they are, but they would look shitty), RAW is a file format that allows a greater range of adjustments at a later point for professionals (like using Lightroom).
ProRes is apparently (I googled it) a VIDEO format.
There might be phones that have shitty AI resolution enhancement built into their camera app, but most likely that's not the case here. This image just went through an AI upscaler, which is a website or an app that works on Android and iOS, but it has nothing to do with the vendor
From what I recall, Apple has a "pseudo" RAW format called ProRAW that isn't really RAW but just has less processing.
My reasoning for saying which formats I use is I’ve never seen such terrible compression. Why would anyone butcher their photos to such an extent? This is infinitely worse than just using JPEG.
Compression and formats can be separate from one another. For example, the image taken could be "sharpened" by some garbage AI before being saved in whatever file format. This kind of smoothing is typical for something like that.
Right, but in this case I wasn’t sure if it was horrible compression or just an AI-generated image. So again, my reasoning for saying what I formats I use was to give some context: I’ve never seen such awful artifacts, nor have I been given the option to use a format that creates such artifacts (that I’m aware of).
If I have already known all this, I probably wouldn’t have commented. Weird “let’s fight” vibes on this post.
Sorry, I didn't mean to offend. I understand your reasoning better now. Have a nice evening :)
