http://www.gsmarena.com/piccmp.php3?idType=3&idPhone1=3621&idPhone2=3275&idPhone3=3619
U see that there's a huge difference!
Is this also cause by the software?

No, the camera on Android phone produces jpeg before it forwards the files to Android storage API. You can only adjust (reduce) the quality of the jpeg files which would not improve the quality of the image files, unfortunately.

SketchBook/Gallery File Location Confusion

Last night, I was looking through my Gallery and saw a few things I'd drawn in SketchBook Pro. Not everything I'd drawn in SK was there, but some were. I figured they were copies or thumbnails or something and, because I like to keep my file systems clean, I deleted them from the Gallery.
Well, turns out they weren't copies or thumbnails, but MY DRAWINGS! Ugh!
So my question is, is there anything comparable to a recycle bin on this thing, where my drawings might still exist? A second question is, does the Gallery just gather all the image-type files and display them, no matter where they are?
Thanks in advance!

Gallery does display all images on your tablet unless they are in a hidden folder. If you have images you do not want to be seen in Gallery you can rename the folder they are in by placing a . in front of the folder name. This will make Gallery see the folder as hidden and not access it. However this may also cause some other problems. Example I have a bunch of epub books with cover images with them and I did not want to have all those images showing in Gallery (there are a lot of them) so I made the folder hidden and it worked for Gallery, but I read the books in Cool Reader and all the sudden Cool Reader could not find the books either. I worked around this by creating special folder for my book I am currently reading.

create a .nomedia file and place it in the folder. it'll keep some apps from scanning the folders.

Folder DCIM/Camera Vs DCIM/100ANDRO

I noticed Xperia Z3 saves images and videos on Folder DCIM/100ANDRO by default rather than DCIM/Camera.
Not sure if it is a problem, but would like to have the default DCIM/Camera as the default folder.
Has anyone got the same issue and any solutions?
Thanks.

DCIM/100ANDRO is where the photos should be stored to be compliant with the Design rule for Camera File system standard. That they are instead stored in a folder called "Camera" on some phones is, I believe, a bug.
In practical terms not storing them in 100ANDRO causes problems when trying to access the photos with some third party devices/software

Hello everyone,
Sorry for the wall of text, long time lurker, first time posting at XDA here, hope to find a solution after days of trying on my own... I am HEARTBROKEN by vscocam on Android... :crying:
I've been using VSCOCam for 80% of my photos on my Nexus5 for the last year and half, I've taken thousands of photos and I want to back them up. The app works as follows:
Take photo using app > photo stored in internal app library > edit photo > export to android photo library (VSCOcam folder)
The VSCOCam folder is located inside /sdcard/DCIM/, but it only stores the exported/edited photos that you chose to export from the app. I cannot for the life of me find the "internal library" folder for the photos, I looked and looked and had no luck finding where the photos or any hints of the app dir itself... only the exported photos. When I looked around online apparently the iOS version has a backup feature for the internal app library when connected to iTunes, Android version ONLY has the "export" button within the app to act as a backup feature. Well that's not going to work because:
1. No select all (ctrl/cmd + A)function. I will not spend hours check marking and scrolling through thousands of thumbnails individually... makes me shudder thinking about it.
2. I will essentially be saving my photos twice or more on the phone, VSCOcam doesn't overwrite existing or even ask, it creates duplicates next to eachother.
3. Exported photos from the app loses all metadata... this one I could afford to lose but it'd be nice to have a date it was taken and not date it was exported.
In my desperation I even chatted with the costumer service staff of the company, no luck, no solution. Only export button. Apparently my cases is very isolated as I can't find anyone with the same problem as I do.... maybe I'm not that bright. :silly:
Even with my limited IT skills, I firmly believe There has to be a folder that stores all the jpg as they're taken by the camera. Instagram does it and so does almost every photo apps out there. I just need to locate that dir... Am I looking in the wrong places? Do I need to root? Please give me some advice on this!!
TL;DR - VSCOCam app is holding thousands of my photos, I can't find the directory that they're stored in. VSCO is telling me "there is no internal app folder." and tell me to spend hours exporting each one manually. I don't want to hate VSCOCam, it rocks, but this is breaking my heart!!!

Oh wow thank you for this!!! I knew it!! :good:
I will try and root my phone tonight. I'll be following this guide.
So I guess after I root, I'm able to view the folders that were previously restricted using Android File Transfer?

i dont use android file transfer but you should be able to use es file explore to copy the photos to another folder that android file transfer can see

I'm rooted on android 5.1 and in ES File Explorer, cannot see com.vsco.cam in /data/data
I've searched for vsco, case insensitive, in root /
And only found the export directory!
Have they changed their storage? In effect, I can't even find the app!!

Bump!
I'm having the same problem. I really need to free up some space on my device, so I want to pull all my photos but I can't find them anywhere. LG Optimus 4X HD (P-880) with root access. I've checked the locations mentioned above, but with no luck. Any help would be awesome!

Up! I have the same problem than Falcon. I want to free some space but can't find the photos anywhere!

Bumping because I'd also like to extract photos that I've taken with VSCO. Although my problem is a little different, VSCO just crashes every time I try to open it and it only started happening the day after I started taking photos with it. The customer service couldn't help much except tell me that CM is an unofficial Android release and their app isn't optimized for it
OnePlus One
Android 6.0.1
CM13.0-20160419-SNAPSHOT-ZNH0EAO2O0-bacon

Has anybody found a descent solution for this problem?
Vsco is a great for the filters but the android-app is horrible. Why can't we just export the original photo's or at least locate them on our device.

Google Camera - modify storage location for saving photos

Hi,
Google camera stores photos in subdirectories of DCIM/Camera using this naming convention:
IMG_<date>_time>
Can I change this by means that any photo should be stored in a single file in DCIM/Camera?
THX

Me and i guess all the other members are not really understanding what your issue is.
You are right with the info how Google Camera stores pictures. Also every picture is a singe file?!
When you are referring to the portrait shots (which are stored as 2 diffrent pics), yes, this is not the best solution by google, but also, no they cant be stored in a single file becasue .jpeg limitations.
peace

Actually my request is this:
I don't want Google Camera to store pictures in sub-directories.
Instead all pictures should be stored in /DCIM/Camera.
However I assume this is not possible.
Therefore I want to address this question: What's the technical reason for storing pictures in sub-directories?

All my pictures I took yesterday are stored in /DCIM/Camera/IMG_20200329_<time>/, all pictures I take today are stored in /DCIM/Camera/IMG_202003230_<time>/.
Why is this?
Can I change setting to store all pictures in /DCIM/Camera/?

I think you are confusing file names with folders. All your pictures are stored in /DCIM/Camera. The "IMG_202003230_<time>" is the filename of the picture. Maybe just Open an file explorer and see yourself.
Anyway, see my attached picture. All your shots are in 1 folder.
At this point I don't even jnow if you are just trolling.

I can assure you: this is not a fake.
For your reference I have attached a screenshot that displays the content of /DCIM/Camera.
This should make it very clear:
There are only sub-directories in which the pictures taken are stored.

Yes, i see. But the reason those are stored in folder is because they are portrait shots. So google camera makes a folder and there it stores 1. portrait shot with background blur and 2. portrait without background blur.
I also mentioned it in one of my first answers. I mean there could be a better implematation, but i think this is ok. Theres no way storing both of these files in 1 file. This is good, because afterwards you can still decide if you want the background blur or not.
Just do normal snaps and they will be not in a folder. Just files.
Anyway, whats your trouble with this?

You can use Gcam Tool if you want the portrait photos to be moved in DCIM/Camera folder
