How are you editing the RAW photos? Are you using the Photos.app on an iPhone or iPad? Then this is the expected behaviour. You would need to use a third-party app that supports RAW editing, for example Pixelmator or Affinity photos or Photoshop to edit the RAW files without loosing resolution.

The Photos.app is just using the embedded JPEG preview , when you edit a RAW photos on the iOS devices, and the embedded previews are usually smaller than the original.



See the note in this support document: Digital camera RAW formats supported by iOS 17, iPadOS 17 and macOS Sonoma – Apple Support (UK)

"iOS 17, iPadOS 17 and macOS Sonoma include enhanced support for processing digital camera RAW formats, providing better detail and improved noise reduction. These RAW formats offer greater image-editing flexibility on iOS and iPadOS using third-party apps that support RAW."
