P: Support for 48mp capture

Hi, I just have a quick question, i got the iphone 14 Pro today and i have noticed there is no way to take a 48 MP image from it within LRM, they are 12mp at the moment even in DNG, so i was wondering if the full resolution of 48PM from the main camera be possible in a future release??

Thank you for your time.

    Thank you for asking. I understand that this may have been limited by Apple’s APIs in the past. However, Apple now provides third-party developers with APIs for high-resolution 24MP and 48MP capture, including RAW and Apple ProRAW on supported devices. Therefore, I believe this is now mainly a matter of Lightroom Mobile adding support. I hope Adobe will enable 48MP DNG capture in a future update.

    Please, Adobe, we need that Pure RAW capture from the 48MP sensor using LRM.

    Please make this happen !

    Appreciate.

      Hi everyone,

      I've always shot on Iphone 11 using Lr Camera and recently i bought an Iphone 15.

      Using the native camera app of my Iphone i can shoot 24mpx pictures, but when I try to take photos with LR camera, they seem to be locked at 12 megapixels.
      Is there a way i can use all the resolution of my sensor?

      Is it a problem that will be fixed with future updates?

      Hi, @matteo_quaglia8574! Unfortunately, it doesn't seem possible at the moment due to Apple's limitations on third-party (non-Apple) apps.

      I've found many discussion in community the subject but I didn't find any comment from official Adobe worker. 
      So would I ask Lr app have plan to support 48mp capture later?

      Thanks

      I'm using Lightroom Mobile 9.2.0 on an iPhone 15 Pro Max with iOS 17.3.1.

      The main lens (dubbed "W" for "wide" in the Lightroom camera interface) allows a resolution of 6048 x 8064 pixels (48 MP), and, with the proper settings, the built-in Apple camera app produces DNG's with this resolution.

      However, the Lightroom Mobile camera interface always capures images with a resolution of 3024 x 4032 pixels (12 MP). This seems like a bug to me.

        How do I set Lightroom Mobile to use 48MP raw files from an iPhone 15 Pro?  I can make them with the Apple app but not Lightroom Mobile, the files are smaller.  Yes, I am using the wide lens, not ultra wide or telephoto.

          I'm pretty sure that the Lightroom camera app does not yet support the 48MP format.

          Thank you Jim. I was worried that was the case.

              I know other apps are allowing 48PM captures within there apps for many months now, i wonder why we still can't in LRM. I just wish there would be a dialog with Adobe about it.
