When I'm not near the girl I love, I love the girl I'm near.
   —Finian's Rainbow, 1947

OK, I know I should carry a "real camera" with me everywhere, and I even have one that offers quite reasonable image quality and will fit in a pocket.  But I'm an old, forgetful, guy, and sometimes my only option is an iPhone (model 5s, if that matters), which is always available.  And I've made a few pictures with it lately whose subject and composition I'm rather pleased with.  The resulting image file?  Not so much.

The JPEGs the 8 Mpx phone camera emits are pretty good, but obviously they're processed.  I can make some improvements in Lightroom or Photoshop, but since the source files are already cooked, there's a limit to what I can do without creating serious image degradation.

What I really need is an iOS application that would capture the raw light-sensor data.  Apparently, that doesn't exist.   Is the Cult of Mac article the currently definitive word on the subject?  Anybody else have better suggestions?
