Desktop RAW image processing software for Samsung S21 Ultra?

Has anyone announced support? My preference would be for Lightroom or DxO but neither commit prior to announcement.

Thanks, 
Bill

Check RawTherapee - it gives me the best results in Huawei phone and support Quad Bayer sensors.

Every sensor and raw format needs its own processing algorithm. I'll monitor this software to see when they decide to support the new Samsung.

Thanks for the suggestion.

As these smartphone cameras get more sophisticated seems like manufacturers need to provide RAW processing programs as the camera manufacturers always have come with, although I realize most don't use them.

It would actually be easier for them to provide the specs to Adobe. For those who want a technical challenge, Adobe on their DNG creator site even provides info on how to send the necessary info to Adobe.

Though, I do agree with you. If they would just provide a converter to uncompressed 16-bit TIF then most photo editing software could be used without waiting for the software companies to catch up. So much effort is going into the Apple M1 migration and the flood of new cameras over the past 2 years, it is likely that few if any companies will be updating to the S21 anytime soon.
