Samsung (S24 Ultra) phones don't do raw anymore, it's not Adobes fault..

Around the release of the S23U Samsung broke RAW support, probably with switching to JPG XL and doing it wrong.

Current DNG files are absolutely useless and have no dynamic range advantage over the jpg (taken at the same time/settings) and they are incompatible with Adobes AI Denoise because they are pre-processed probably 8bit JPGs in a DNG container.

Update 6.1.1 from Sasmsung is released, Samsung still got no clue what a raw file is.

Hi, could you maybe check something with Samsung again, I stumbled on this and them maybe not using JPG XL as it's meant too be used. This very much sounds like it would result in the insufficient DNG files we get from Samsung phones these days. This would need to be checked/fixed for ProMode in the stock camera app and I also think for ExpertRAW.
