Thank you! Very basic editing, no masks, curve adjustment or HSL. I'm still getting used to the ProRAW files though, as in my experience they behave a little different than your usual RAW file.

For one, when shooting with a camera I'm used to underexposing a bit in very high contrast situations. I did this for this photos, but Apple handles exposure in a really weird way.. underexposing makes highlights look off, like they do when you start messing with the Luminance setting in Lightroom. You can see this in the first picture, where the clouds look muddy.

Then there's editing software. I really like Capture One, but it seems it cannot interpret the DNG corretly. The "white" and "highlight" sliders pretty much don't do anything. LR is better, but gives me a very flat image, and I have to spend twice the time to get the images to look like what I'm envisioning.

I will continue experimenting, but so far I'm very impressed and in some situations it is way better than the 13 Pro.
For instance, when I took this photo it was very dark already, and it still turned out great, especially for social media sharing:

Thanks for the reply, was just curious because the color rendition looks really nice (granted, probably due to the time of day) but even the example above looks great. I was watching a few videos regarding capture one earlier and noticed the HDR tab seems to recover highlights far better than Lightroom. Would be interesting to see the same image processed in both to compare.

C1 highlight recovery pretty much doesn't work for ProRAW, in my experience. You can move the slider from one end to the other with minimal effect. Only way to get highlights right is lowering the exposure and then recovering the shadows, but that messes with contrast. It's kind of tricky and I feel like neither C1 nor LR work that well, but in the end I can always achieve the same on look on both.

What sci-fi movie is this from?! That flower don't look right! Pretty, but all sorts of NOPE if I see a field of them.
Haha! Seems like they are called African Daisies (Osteospermum). The shape totally caught my attention.
