Bayer RAW vs ProRAW — Same preset, minor exposure differences (see notes)

Quick comparison between Bayer RAW (Iris Pro) and ProRAW (Apple Camera).

Before jumping to conclusions:
• Exposure and tone may not be perfectly identical
• Same Lightroom preset applied on both (Dark Drama)
• No manual color tweaking beyond the preset

What to look at instead:
• Highlight roll-off in clouds (top area)
• Color depth and gradients in the sky
• Shadow detail in trees/buildings

The goal isn’t to say one is “bad”, but to show how different RAW pipelines respond to the same edit.
