Apple's Photographic Styles Metadata

• Apple's new photographic styles utilize local tone mapping, enabling semantic awareness of image elements.
• These styles exist in distinct color spaces, offering greater control and flexibility.
• Apple has not yet released the details of how they are stored into the file and how to edit the photos in other apps, hindering broader editing capabilities.
• Users shooting in JPEG format lose the non-destructive editing feature of these styles, a detail Apple doesn't explicitly communicate.
• Gruber believes Apple should make this distinction clearer to users.
