![]() ![]() Knowing these formats, let's now move on to the transformation of RAW files to DNG to bring them to our cell phones.Īdobe offers us the free possibility of its RAW to DNG converter. The DNG format can weigh from 15$% to 40% less than an original RAW format, without any loss of quality, when we talk about a large amount of photographs, this can mean a considerable weight.ġ. In fact, camera brands such as Leica, Sony and Pentax already use DNG as the native format for their RAW photographs. Well, the DNG format is created by ADOBE precisely to take away that fear, giving us a format that can be opened in a wide variety of programs and that still preserves the RAW quality without any kind of compression. The raw format as its name indicates is a "raw" of the image, this is the name given to all photographs taken directly from DSLR cameras, however, each brand of camera has a different RAW extension, for example Canon is CR2, Nikon is NEF basically because the technology of each sensor is different so it ends up being a different RAW processing in each case.įor what said before always generates a little doubt transforming our RAW format to any other thinking that our file will lose quality in a compression process. The first thing to do in KNOW the difference between RAW and DNG formats. Shortly before the quarantine I managed to update my cell phone with a larger Storage Memory and RAM so a few days ago I thought about seeing if it was possible to edit RAW photos on my Android and the answer is YES. The fact is that photo editing is very important to me, and I enjoy it very much. ![]() I have a lot of videos to edit and a lot of pictures, although I haven't done much I can't say that I can stop doing, some little thing I am writing, recording or thinking in the long term. In this quarantine I honestly had a hard time finding a productivity center and the fact that the first days of the quarantine my laptop was damaged made everything worse animically. The processed JPG files produced by the built-in app are enhanced to 48MP.Well, I'll tell you, my computer broke down, couldn't have picked a worse time to do it. unprocessed by an algorithm) image is indeed 12MP. This is for simple physical reasons, including, but not limited to, the amount of light falling on the very small sensor (compare that to the light that falls on a much larger DSLR sensor through a vastly larger lens) and the ‘cross-contamination’ caused by such very small pixels being crammed so close together to make the small sensor.ĭon’t get me wrong, you can take a good photo on a mobile phone with good light and with proper processing of the RAW image, and this is a good mobile phone sensor. What I believe it really means, is that the sensor is a 12MP sensor (my bad, I originally wrote 20MP) and which uses algorithms - digital enhancement - to increase that by 4 to 48 effective MP (under each square of the the Quad-Bayer Filter there are 4 ‘sub-pixels’).Īll mobile phone cameras must use algorithms to process their images to the JPG output that you see on your screen, otherwise they’d be really bad. If it were they would not use the word ‘effective’. The actual wording used in all of Sony’s marketing, and all of the reviews is “effective megapixels”. The camera is 48MPs (IMX582) but it may output other values. The 48MP must come from a digital enlargement process. Lightroom camera is great, but I don’t now use it because it saves RAW files deep in a Lightoom folder somewhere, and doesn’t automatically save a JPG version in your Camera Roll.Īnd one more thing - the camera on the FP4 is not 48MP, it’s 20MP - that’s what the RAW files are. That makes them easy to remove from the phone and keep things tidy. No more having to plug my phone in to my computer after a walk to get my RAW files off of the phone. One of the really good things about it is that it saves the RAW/DNG files into your camera roll, where I have OneDrive set up to back them up to the cloud. Its UI does need some work, but its not bad. ![]() I’ve decided on Open Camera - free, no ads, open source. It gives me options for more creativity when I don’t have my camera with me. As a photographer I do like the RAW files, even though it’s only photos on a mobile phone. ![]() For completeness sake, I thought I’d let everyone know what I’ve done about a camera app. ![]()
