ProRaw and ProcessZero RAWs are both raws in the end of the day. Noone uploads unedited RAWs. We edit them. The slightly less aggresive contrast and sharpening is easily edited away in a RAW editor.
Where is the added value? Please explain.

@yuliyan if you care edit with intent it's always better to start with a flatter file. ProRaw is better, but still way too much clarity, aggresive noise reduction and sharpening.... not to mention the overdone contrast. Open the .dng in any editor that strips the predefined ProRaw settings / for example the free rawtherapy or anything else and the difference is mind-blowing

@yuliyan While this doesn’t answer your question, I have an iPhone 13 Mini, and so Halide’s ProcessZero opens up possibilities that I did not have before.
Having said that, I’m still trying to decide if it is for me.

@yuliyan of course, I am sharing a personal opinion, not stating a n universal truth, tastes are different and fluid, what you like now changes in a few years

@notimefortv Thank you. I will have a closer look. My initial tests did not make me go "wow! game changing!". I'll try again.

@ctt @yuliyan In the end, it’s just a way to get photos the way you like.
I got influenced into renting it again after many years, and liked it at start. But P0 quickly turned into still editing the RAWs; then turning off saving the HEIF along the RAW file at all. Now shooting ProRAW in the native camera app again. (12MP most of the time).
I now use Halide only if I need manual control. I will probably cancel my sub as I have other apps that also give manual control.
