I’ve watched this video before because the reasoning behind why it crashes certain phones is fascinating. But this latest time I thought of something and am not sure if photographs store things differently or if the information in the video is incorrect.
It’s stated that the photo is re-encoded into ProShot RGB from its original Standard RGB.
In music you obviously cannot upconvert music and make sound clearer from data that was never there to begin with (think mp3 to FLAC). How does changing a photo from a more restricted color space to a wider one add more colors? If the photo was taken as SRGB, it was only taken with that limited color space and not the wider proshot, so that data shouldn’t exist?
What am I missing?

It isn’t photographed wrong. The photographer wanted to make the photo look better so he put a filter over it. A filter basically moves rgb values up and down (argb isn’t used in photos as it hasn’t transparent parts) If that filter has some sort of glitch where it pushes a value over 255, it can cause devices to crash. The device he used to apply the filter probably has a failsave that makes all values above 255 back to 255.
