where to host large file-size raws for a playraw?

I have a raw file I’d like to share as a playraw, but it’s 132Mb and too large to upload directly. Some places I’ve looked will only host the file for two weeks without paying a subscription, and I’d rather the playraw not come with such a short expiration date.

Are there any suggestions?

(Worst case I could host it on my personal nextcloud, but I’m not enthusiastic about sharing a url there in a public space.)

What camera are you using that is 132 MB?? My GFX100S II are barely over 100MB. :smiley:

Might be the noise. For me it can make a big difference (even like +50%) if the ISO is very high

It’s a Lumix g9ii using hand-held high res (a pixel shift mode). I thought people might be interested in the difference between a single frame and the stack. :slight_smile:

It takes 16 photos and combines them into a 100Mpx monster, heh

TBH you are pushing up the mids and hilights too much the bridge e.g. seems to be too bright.

It’s a good thing no one pays me for the effort. :wink:

TBH pushing even regular photos “too” bright in the midtones is something I do a lot. I’m ok if it’s not for everybody. Thank you for the feedback.

All of the answers do not respond to the initial question: where to host such files?
I think it would be okay to make a temporary solution because most play raws are done in a matter of 2-3 weeks. But I am a regular visitor here and other peoples mileage can vary.
In any case I would love to put my hands on such a detailed image and see how to edit this.

Is this an option for the “average” user? Do I need more knowledge than the ability to create a github account?

Shocking Resolution! Soo cool! How do you expose for 25s and not get any star trails? Are you using a tracker?
