I found this girl on Instagram and her photos look pretty cool. Just curious if anyone would know what apps she might be using. She doesn't look like she's going to reveal which apps she's using.
Here's the link to her photos.

This is with a iPhone, my sister does this. In my opinion it looked horrible, and way over done.

You can do it with friend caster photo editor.And I agree brother,it looks horrible.
FROM A GALAXY BETTER THAN YOURS.

That's what we like to call over-cooked HDR. You can pretty much do the same thing by adding one of those old school filters or a yellow tint filter and pushing up the contrast and saturation. It's pretty much used as a distraction for bad composition

Does anyone know its this is an Android or iPhone app for this framing effect?
Sorry didn't want to start a new thread.

Gotta say after playing with one first hand...im SUPER dissapointed with the camera. Im an android faithful through and through, but I compared the pictures side by side with an iphone 4s and wow what a difference. you can zoom in so much farther and the pictures are so much clearer on the 4s. I was freaked out by this because they touted the 13MP camera, and it just doesnt deliver. It honestly looks more akin to my galaxy nexus camera quality wise. Just thought I would weigh in on my experience.
this along with the locked bootloader unfortunately might push me away from this phone.

Pictures Taken With The 13 MP Camera

I decided to take the camera on the phone out for test drive. The reviews are accurate. The camera is adequate. That's about the best i can say for it. Pictures look washed out. I took this one a little while ago at the Barataria Preserve near New Orleans. If you're curious the damn thing scared the hell out of me. Its huge.

I bought the app just now. It's a buck fifty right now, and looks like it might be well worth it at that. I'll take some pics tomorrow, and post them. Thanks for the recommend.

Horrible is kind of strong especially given the pictures taken from my last phone, the EVO 3D, certainly not it's strong point either. The Optimus' pictures really are washed out from what I can see, from the pictures I've taken so far. I'm going to play around with the settings a bit and see if I can improve on what I'm seeing so far.
I've downloaded an app that looks promising, and I'll give it a try and see if that improves anything. It's got an ISO 50 setting that has me curious.

Before the jelly bean update the gs3 camera was so-so. After the update it was a different beast.
I have hope for the optimus g camera.

Here's a pic I took the other day at the track. Like others have said, it's adequate. It's not a bad camera and by far much better than my Evo 3D.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium

I bet the major flaw of this camera is the software if lg actually took the time to really work with the auto setting I bet it would be great

Had a chance to play with the camera using both the stock app and zoom fx. As washed out as the pictures were yesterday with the stock app this was even worse. The camera is not good in low light. There is really no other way to say it. The low light wasn't even all that low in both cases. Flash was used in all four pictures.
In both cases the better pictures come from zoomfx. In a way that's heartening because it indicates a lot of tweaking potential for the stock app.

Make your screen colour representation accurate

so I was reading a test done comparing iPhone 5 with the note 2. according to the findings, once you such display mode to movie and unchecked auto adjust picture tone to save battery- the contrast ratio, whiteness level and all color errors are all improved drastically. I must concur because I have notice a much better colours rep and the whites do look a bit better aswell.

They all look the same. Main reason why i prefer movie to natural is the skin color. It looked much more natural. Also the contrast ratio increases on the movie mode.

Swear I was thinking the same thing lol.
I wouldnt have bought a Amoled screen if i wanted accurate colors. But good find to those that want.

The positive is that Samsung Note 2 actually allows you to choose which color representation you prefer.
Also, I don't think the color resolution is stored in the captured screen shot image. It's just how the image is displayed on your Note2. That's why each photo you uploaded looks the same. of course I'm usually wrong on these type of things.

I prefer to use Natural. But I wish we had some control over the screen temperature. I prefer my screen a little cooler than what it's currently displaying.

I was stating id like to see the demo image outside of my phone. See what the original colors looks like, pale vs bright yellows. That would help me decide what looks most "natural"

****WARNING****
You have one of the most advanced screens ever put in a phone. Its so visually pleasing others may stair with envy, some will comment on its beauty while trying to touch it, a rare few might even complain its just to brilliant (giggle). For your convenience we have added the option to dull it down to a level of your choice so you might better blend in with the rest of the crowd holding dull looking screens.

Also brightness was set to max.
With brightness set to max, I found "Movie" to give the best picture. However, I never have brightness set to max - usually automatic. I found "Movie" a bit dull at lower levels, but I'm used to it now, and there will be less screen burn-in, and blue burn-out. We have three-year contracts in Canada, and I don't want to have noticeable OLED burn-in and loss of blue after a couple of years ...

Definitely takes some getting used to for Movie but while not as perky colored, I quite enjoy this subdued tone. In the end, having choices is great.

I still enjoy the camera quality better than any other camera I've ever had.

The camera is pretty good. I think where you will find some issues with it will be in low light or very bright situations. The thing is that the camera does not compensate very well for low light, and bright light washes out the pictures some. I like the camera, and it has taken a lot of really good pictures for me, problem is that it has also taken a lot of really crappy pictures for me. The inconsistency is frustrating, but that said, it's better than either my Motorola Cliq (oh yeah!) or my Samsung Epic.

I have learned how to take pics with the camera. I am still not 100% happy with it in the fact that I cannot pull it out and snap a pic. I have to clean the lens, open the camera app then touch to focus and then snap the pic. If I skip the touch to focus then 80% of my pics are blurry. Really sucks but since I have been doing the touch focus step I have been getting way better pics.

The camera is great for a phone. Anybody who says otherwise uses superior equipment or simply doesn't know how to take a good picture. Now the front facing camera, there's no helping that. Makes things look melted/blurred.

Thank you guys for following the topic.

With _Epic's camera mod, the camera is great.
Stock ZVB camera sucks.
With AOSP, it's even worse.

Has anyone found a way to prevent the flash from massively blowing out the resulting photos? It seems way too bright and the software does a terrible job compensating for it. My Evo LTE did an awesome job with flash photos. I'm on stock rooted ZVB with Epic's mod.

Sent from my LG-LS970

I have found that the setting on the camera really changes things. Out in Yosemite I was taking pictures and some were really ****ty and others great. The biggest things that made a difference were touch to focus and then changing the mode. For instance last night none of my pics were turning out so I set night mode on, wala, great photos. Then we were taking landscape pics and they were alright, changed it to landscape and it was much better. But changing the white mode or scene or whatever to sun really helped too. Its just amazing how bad the auto settings are cause once you play with it, its a great camera to me.
