Request the original, highest-fidelity version of the image asset.

```
case original
```

## Discussion

The resulting image is originally captured or imported version of the asset, regardless of any edits made.

If the image asset contains data in multiple formats, the resulting image data uses the highest quality format. For example, for an asset containing both RAW and JPEG data, Photos returns the RAW data.
