How do you see image links or pictures when looking at RAW?

Looks like that isn’t supported for discourse, if you upload from that format it would automatically be changed to other format.

> JPEG ProRAW RAW via halide ProRAW is great, it includes image processing instructions, so when I uploaded it you can see that image looks way less washed out than it would on pure Raw with zero processing. That said, Raw can be just fine ™ … you shoot Raw cause your intent is to process your image, you may want to push it a few stops down and recover detail, you may have some more radical plans for it. Halide Raw, processed in lightroom. This featu…
Generally you wouldn’t be able to see any difference in that format, but if you want to maintain that for someone else to be able to use that to edit you can post a link to file with drive.

Do you mean RAW-format output from cameras, or do you mean when looking at the “uncooked” markdown source for posts?

That view is not intended for showing pictures. The “raw” refers to the Markdown. It shows the source Markdown which will never contain the rendered images.

You cannot view them directly from the `/raw` page, but the picture markdown code can be copied. They look like this:
```plaintext
![image|[width]x[height]](upload://[name].png)
```
Then copy them to the composer.
You should then get the image.
But, idk why you would do that tbh
