# originalResourceChoice

The original resource to use as the unadjusted base for rendering derivatives of the new asset.

```
var originalResourceChoice: PHAsset.OriginalResourceChoice { get set }
```

## Discussion

This property applies to RAW+JPEG assets only, where it selects whether the RAW or the compressed resource serves as the original.
Setting it on assets that have only a single original resource is an error.
