I always wondered why some of the raw vs edited video on social media shows the raw one as a very washed and unsaturated picture. I even thought they made the raw looks so bad, so that the edited one looks great.
I never owned a pro-camera, only a smartphone. So, reading this article now I learned that it was washed and unsaturated for a good reason. Is this Log thing 15 pro specific or its software so that we can use it on an older iPhone?
This was a huge problem even for professionals at one point - there was a time starting a bit before 2010 where more cameras started to switch from doing all the process in camera to raw and log recording, and people didn't understand how to work with it, properly expose it, etc.
I remember for example with RED's first cinema camera, seeing people do shootouts (camera comparisons) where they'd record and compare the low-quality, partially decoded monitor output that didn't have a proper LUT applied, to HD cameras that did all in-camera processing. Later cameras could do all the 4K processing and apply proper LUTs in the hardware in real-time, but earlier ones didn't have the processing power, you had to do it all in post. People just didn't get it, and it worried people when things come out all washed out before applying any kind of LUT.
