I am currently testing (playing...) with my new smartphone (Samsung S8) which has the ability to output superb DNG raw files.
MichelB, I saw your reply in another thread and thought I would start a new thread to ask my question.
I have a Samsung S8, but I didn't know it could take raw files, and I don't have a clue how to output DNG raw files. How did you do this if you don't mind me asking?
I have been connecting to my computer and copying the photos over from my phone. I assumed they were jpeg files? (...I am constantly amazed at the quality of the photos.....)
I was also wondering if the new Topaz software which converts jpeg to raw files would work well on smartphone photos.

Pat The raw option is also available on the S7. When you get the first screen after opening the camera, you have to swipe to the right until you get an array of icons in the bottom of the display. In the middle of the top row, there is a 'shutter' icon called 'Pro'. That enables storing both a jpeg and a DNG file. Warning: this is not 'sticky', you have to think about it before starting your shooting session... I have read interesting posts both in the Adobe feedback forum and at Dpreview in the retouching section. I don't know much about Topaz, but some find this standalone app interesting. What is criticized is the misleading advertisement about the program converting jpeg to raw (nonsense). What it does is about the same as when you open a jpeg in Camera Raw in PSE. They claim to use AI for various corrections, but I don't see myself any advantage compared with PSE. The 'Auto' setting and the ability to batch edit jpegs in ACR. The Topaz module is the same price as the full PSE...
