How to Use Expert RAW on Samsung Galaxy for Professional Photography
Use Samsung Expert RAW app for pro photos. This Galaxy Expert RAW guide covers RAW photography Samsung, Samsung Expert RAW settings, and Expert RAW astrophoto Galaxy.
Samsung Expert RAW is a dedicated professional photography app for Galaxy devices — going beyond the built-in camera with multi-frame RAW capture, advanced histogram tools, and built-in Lightroom integration.
What Is Expert RAW?
Expert RAW is Samsung's standalone professional camera app that:
- Captures multi-frame RAW files (combines multiple exposures into one RAW)
- Provides live histogram for precise exposure
- Supports astrophotography mode for night sky photography
- Integrates directly with Adobe Lightroom for instant editing
How to Install Expert RAW
- Open Galaxy Store (pre-installed on Galaxy phones).
- Search for Expert RAW.
- Download and install (free).
- Requires Galaxy S21 or newer.
Expert RAW Interface Overview
| Element | Function |
|---|---|
| Multi-frame counter | Select 1–8 exposure frames to merge |
| Histogram | Live exposure feedback — avoid clipping |
| ISO / Shutter / WB | Manual controls |
| Lens selector | Switch between all available lenses |
| Zoom to edit | Open captured RAW in Lightroom immediately |
Multi-Frame RAW Explained
Expert RAW's key differentiator is multi-frame capture:
- Select 2–8 frames in the UI
- Camera captures all frames simultaneously using different exposure settings
- AI combines them into a single HDR RAW file with maximum dynamic range
- Result: Better detail in both highlights and shadows than single-frame RAW
Astrophotography Mode
For night sky photography:
- Open Expert RAW and switch to Astrophoto mode.
- Mount your Galaxy on a tripod.
- Point at a clear sky (away from city light).
- Expert RAW automatically captures for 3–5 minutes, stacking star trails.
- The result shows the Milky Way, individual stars, and star trail patterns.
Tips:
- Find a dark location 30+ km from city centers
- Wait 30+ minutes after sunset for sky to fully darken
- Use a remote trigger or the timer to avoid camera shake
Editing in Expert RAW
Expert RAW includes basic editing tools (brightness, contrast, HSL) but its real power is:
- Send to Lightroom: One-tap sync to Adobe Lightroom Mobile
- Export: Send RAW or processed JPEG to any app or cloud service
