As promised, HTC has finally added support for RAW images to the HTC One M9. Considering how the M9’s camera isn’t the best around, at least as far as flagship smartphones go, the addition of RAW image support should help it hold its own against the competition. For those of you who aren’t familiar, RAW images are images that are completely uncompressed and unprocessed, meaning you do all the editing for them yourself.

We’ve know that RAW image support was coming to the HTC One M9 from day one, but it had yet to make it way into the final software. Thankfully, a new update to the HTC Camera app is finally bringing Raw capture to the One M9, where it will be found as a photo mode in the camera app. One of the star features for the HTC One M9 is supposed to be its rear camera, which finally moves away from the UltraPixel setup of the M7 and M8. Unfortunately, poor post processing and other issues have led to an arguably somewhat lackluster experience. With access to RAW images, however, third party programs and just everyday photo enthusiasts might be able to edit the files themselves with the aim of creating better images. Raw image support is obviously the biggest change here, but there’s also some minor changes effecting some other HTC devices as well.
