wanting to upload RAW photos but am being met with pink error screen when clicking next when it shows a preview on the app. i’ve never had an issue in the past shooting raw and uploading to IG, does anyone know or is having issues uploading?
Maybe you should learn what a raw photo is first… And perhaps stop shooting in raw until you do…
Why would you expect Instagram to support RAW uploads?
JPEG is a standard format used by many cameras and cell phones, and a JPEG image should be rendered the same by any software that supports JPEG.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG
RAW formats are specific to each camera manufacturer and can even vary from one camera model to another. Each of these raw formats needs a different algorithm to decode the image.
The following wiki page shows that there are over 30 raw image formats. Some companies such as Canon, Sony, Hasselblad, Leica and Panasonic use (or have used) more than one raw format.
No social media platforms support raw by default to knowledge. Convert to JPEG then upload.
Reminds me. I’ve got all these negatives from old vacation photos. But nobody seems interested when I share my past travels.
lol do you have any idea why you’re shooting raw?
Who uploads RAWs? 🤔
Raws don’t look a certain way - they’re just sensor data. Any time you’re looking at a picture, you’re looking at raw data that has gone through extensive processing e.g. demosaicing, mapping from 12-14 bit down to 8 bit etc
