For many photographers, the RAW file is sacred — the digital equivalent of a negative. It is the closest one can get to what the camera actually saw: unprocessed, high-bit-depth data that preserves every subtle gradient of tone and color. It’s the file you rely on when re-editing a favorite shot years later, or when you need absolute fidelity for print.

With this release, Exposera brings that same respect for the master file to the cloud. Pro users can now upload RAW and DNG files directly, up to 500 MB each, while Exposera automatically handles the conversion to a high-quality JPEG for viewing on the site. Your originals remain stored exactly as you uploaded them, and your audience sees a web-optimized rendering that reflects your work with clarity and accuracy.

Keeping your portfolio, website, or internal tools in sync with your latest photography should be simple. For that reason, Exposera provides RSS and Atom feeds for every user and album. These feeds offer an open, predictable way to consume photo metadata and media links for public content (no API keys required). Note: private or restricted items are not exposed in public feeds, and media may be served via a proxy or short-lived signed URLs depending on visibility and access controls. Feeds can be used by reader apps, static site generators, serverless automation, or custom integrations — any environment that understands XML and HTTP.

Photography has always been shaped by technology. Every generation of photographers has faced new tools, from faster film to digital sensors to computational imaging. Each advance changes what it means to make a picture — and how we understand the relationship between the tool, the maker, and the final image.

Today, generative AI sits at the frontier of that conversation. Its influence is expanding quickly, and with it comes a simple but important question: what does it mean for a community built around photography?
