Removing Noise not working on iPhone 16 Pro ProRAW files

[yi.zhao]

When processing DNG files (Apple ProRAW from iPhone 16 Pro), Removing Noise module doesn’t work at all: the AI MODEL field shows nothing (neither RAW Normal or RAW Strong), and the Strength and Minor Deblur sliders do nothing.

Steps to reproduce issue:

1. Open DNG files in Apple ProRAW format produced by iPhone 16 Pro
2. Turn on Removing Noise
3. Verify that AI Model selection is not available, and sliders do nothing.

Thanks for reaching out. There are two issues here:

1. Apple ProRAW files are unsupported in Topaz Photo AI:
   Supported Cameras | Topaz Photo AI
2. The ProRAW files are linear DNG which has a separate model and does not use either the RAW or non-RAW models.

For these files I would recommend converting them to TIF or JPG for processing before sending them to Topaz Photo AI.

Any plans to support iPhone RAW files?

I think those are quite common…

I do not have a timeline for iPhone ProRaw files yet. There are some deeper issues with the iPhone RAW files that we need to figure out.
