I noticed after taking a picture and swiping left to look at it.. As it loads the picture it then apply the post processing over zealous sharpening... This lead me to try something. I took the photo and sent it to snapseed (any editing app) and simply reduced structure my about 40%... This lead to a far more realistic photo. You will notice the second photo with the structure reduced doesn't have the sky haze around the trees like the original. It may not be as saturated but it's more authentic. And you can apply your own post processing thereafter. Just a thought for those still not rooted.

I am running stock ROM, on the stock camera app, have done factory reset.
Every picture I take previews as blurry but the actual picture is usually fine. Doesn't sound like a big deal but when I'm trying to take quick pictures of my 3 crazy boys, I'm wasting time reviewing every picture, thinking it might be blurry and needs to be retaken.
My husband says I should just assume every pic is good (thanks a lot!) but I want to see if mine is just a dud or not.
When I review pics inside of MMS threads which ive sent, the pic is blurry. its compressed. anybody know how to disable compression or at least set it to something decent? theres no reason why a tiny pic in an sms thread should be compressed so severely that it makes the photo noticeably blurry.
I hope someone has the same issue or that this is a "normal" behavior of the HOX, but I don't think I ever noticed that until 2 days ago; anyway here's the problem.
When I take a picture with my camera, the picture looks great during review time (the option you set in settings 3 or 5 seconds). But when I open the same picture in gallery it seems that the quality is lost. I can notice that since as soon as I review the picture, I click on the lower left corner to open the picture again and I can see the difference between the "review picture" and the "saved picture". This is especially apparent in the front camera: when I take a picture of myself, my eyes look very sharp/cartoonish.
I have been running ARHD for a while since 14.2 and I am on 18.1 now. I installed lyapota mod pack which included camera jb mod extrim. I thought it was because of the mod so I did a clean installation of the rom with full wipe and the same problem was there.
Please advise.
Thanks to whoever will help!
May be a different viewer is used(triggered) to view the saved photos.
And thus thus could be a viewer app problem, not the photo quality itself.
Did you try to open these photos on your PC to see how are they looking there?

Yes I did, unfortunately it's the same problem.
Could it be that the preview is smaller than the actual image, and that the quality therefore looks better, because the preview is smaller..?
Try to post a picture you have taken, to show what you mean.

Here is a picture showing both scenarios. I took a screenshot during the review (on the left) and then i opened the actual image. I put them side by side. Notice the color fading and the noise/loss of sharpness in the right picture. This is with normal day light, the effect gets worse when in low light.
Stock MDB08I - no root
Noticed if I take a ton of shots in one go and switch between video and camera that I will on occasion lose an image. Pain in the rear as this seems to have happened where even the last shot preview shows a taken shot but clicking it shows NO shot saved. Even Google photos app doesn't show the image. Did a dump of DCIM folder and shots are missing. Had this happen now 5 times in the last week. Taken 200 images so far and 5 images just took and showed in preview - SO it's not operator error of shot actually not taken - shot shows in last shot preview but doesn't save. Wondering if the lag on HDR processing is causing a stall on processing and inadvartent loss of image?
Others seeing this at all.
I've noticed lost shots too. Really hating the lag with the camera app and I'm thinking that's the cause.

If you're shooting many shots in HDR+, then yes, you'll likely max out the phone's ability to post-process all of those images. Others have noticed this after taking 3-4 HDR+ photos in succession.
Same issue here. As far as I’m concerned, I think this is a big problem and this should be a PSA/sticky thread until the issue is fixed.
as title,
and possibly provide the function to combine the best of both image
in my limited knowledge or maybe fantasy, i think it would create stunning photo. am i right?
Not really, the final image would end up with a "haze" of sorts due to the softer image of the wider apateur. If there was a way to capture light data with the wider, and image quality with the smaller, that would, in theory, create a nice image. However, the device then has to effectively take two separate images at once, which would cause significant delay.
Which android version has the best camera quality and stability? Android 12 april or 12L.
Also anyone else experiencing Raw photos are really crap?
Any third party camera apps might be better?
From my understanding, without processing in high-end image software, it's expected that RAW format photos don't look as nice.

"Why JPEGs Look Better Than RAW Images"
I know what you’re thinking, “I’ve always heard it’s better to shoot in RAW!” It may be, but I thought you should know why, right out of the camera, JPEG images look better than RAW images. It’s because when you shoot in JPEG mode, your camera applies sharpening, contrast, color saturation, and all sorts of little tweaks to create a fully processed, good-looking final image. However, when you switch your camera to shoot in RAW mode, you’re telling the camera, “Turn off the sharpening, turn off the contrast, turn off the color saturation, and turn off all those tweaks you do to make the image look really good, and instead just give me the raw, untouched photo and I’ll add all those things myself in Photoshop or Lightroom (or whatever software you choose).” So, while RAW files have more data, which is better, the look of the RAW file is not better (it’s not as sharp, or vibrant, or contrasty), so it’s up to you to add all those things in post-processing. Now, if you’re pretty good in Photoshop, Lightroom, etc., the good news is you can probably do a better job tweaking your photo than your camera does when it creates a JPEG, so the final result is photos processed just the way you like them (with the amount of sharpening you want added, the amount of color vibrance you want, etc.). If you just read this and thought, “Man, I don’t even use Photoshop...” or “I don’t really understand Photoshop,” then you’ll probably get better-looking images by shooting in JPEG and letting the camera do the work. I know this goes against everything you’ve read in online forums full of strangers who sound very convincing, but I’ll also bet nobody told you that shooting in RAW strips away all the sharpening, vibrance, and contrast either. Hey, at least now ya know.

I only shoot raw, because I have used a d-slr for well over 15 years, and photoshop for around 30. It just comes natural. Plus, on the phone, I don't have a lot of control when I'm in a hurry to snap something with the phone, so I can fix it later.
I use both JPG and RAW depending on the use case. RAW files have definitely more information, but they require post processing. I don't mind this since it allows me to make decisions re contrast, white balance, sharpness etc. and not some algorithm.
I only shoot raw when i am doing weddings other than that i always shoot JPEG.
You can do everything with a JPEG that you can do with a raw file you just cant push it as far. Plus when you shoot JPEG as part of the processing the sensor noise will be dealt with.
Why is raw all blocky on my phone then?
