iPhone 12 Pro Max Digital Photography by Jason R Rich is the best IMO
I got this iPhone recently, and you will love it. First thing you will notice is turning it off and on is different. You will need to push the button on the right side and one of the volume buttons on the left side SIMULTANEOUSLY to accomplish. The camera is great. Have fun with it!

I guess a book would need to deal with Apple ProRaw. What do you guys do with it? Do you move to computer and use your old software tools or do you use an app? I don't really like doing much on my phone. I prefer to do things on computer; can see much better :-) but I guess the big 'ol pro max might change things for me.

I usually find myself trying to figure out new things, too! What is working for me is to set up iCloud so that the photos will download onto my hard drive, so I can choose which ones to import into LR to edit. I agree about not liking to edit on the phone. I need to see it better!

I guess that sometimes iCloud is free and sometimes it is not? I don't know how that works. I was thinking of mostly using jpeg but for important photos use Apple ProRaw and transfer to my hard drive with Lightroom and other software.
I always wanted a full frame camera but could never justify the expense. Years ago I bought a Cannon G1 X Mark II with an APS size sensor; pretty large but not nearly full frame. I have been a reader of this great forum for many years. In the early years, I read time after time how powerful RAW was. I tried free trials of RAW processing software but for some reason they never worked with my Cannon. Finally, I just bought Lightroom; the one that stays on your hardrive and involves no continued expense. I needed to photograph the interior of a house that had no electricity. The dynamic range between an open window and unlit room was demanding. 8 years ago a poster ( thanks again Armadillo) on this great forum explained how to get the camera to control the exposure and flash independently. This helped but it wasn't until I shot in RAW and used Lightroom that I saw what my camera could really do. I was amazed to see what could be pulled out of black shadow.
I am certainly no expert; only have done some reading or youtube nowdays, but apparently these cell phone companies, Apple in particular, have devised ways to work around a small sensor size. I guess they take multiple photos and use pieces of each to solve dynamic range and other issues. I seem to remember programs that could do something like that with cameras but there were problems; don't remember what they were. So now with Apple ProRaw I am wondering if it will be amazing as was the experience with my Cannon was.
Currently, I use my iPhone 7+ for non serious photos and my Cannon for better quality and post processing. The cell phone is much easier and honesty, I am not sure that I can always see a difference. I know that for something like snapping a driver's license photo the cell phone is much easier to focus. I have a feeling my Cannon is about to be put, rather permanently, in a drawer :-)
