This week, Samsung started rolling out a new update to its pro-grade mobile photography app, Expert RAW. The update pushes the app to version 3.0.05.12 and brings one major feature photography enthusiasts should find very useful.
Namely, Expert RAW v3.0.05.12 now lets users capture lossless RAW photos. This new option optimizes image quality by capturing RAW images in lossless format. However, the downside is that lossless photos use more storage.
You can grab this new Expert RAW update from the Galaxy Store. Once you have it, you can try this new feature by opening the app, accessing the app's settings menu, and ensuring the “Lossless RAW” quick toggle is ON.
One thing to keep in mind is that the Lossless RAW option is available only for some resolutions, not all. We tested this feature on a Galaxy S24+, and we can confirm it is grayed out when using the 50MP shooting mode.
However, you can turn Lossless RAW ON or OFF on the Galaxy S24+ if you have the 12MP or 24MP shooting mode selected in the viewfinder. Needless to say, your mileage with this Lossless RAW option might vary depending on which Galaxy phone you use.
