Hey,
Today I tried to copy a Photosphere, made with a DSLR and the Microsoft ICE, to my Nexus 4.
I tried to export them as a single JPG picture like the originals but Android handles it as a normal picture and as it seems Microsoft will not release Silverlight for Android, so photosynth.net will not work too.
Any general ideas how to get my high resolution Photospheres onto my Android 4.2.2 or do you know a mod to enhance the quality of the standard android Panoramas?
Greetings,

Hi, I was wondering if there's a way to control my android phone's camera (HTC Thunderbolt) through the web. I've seen WebKey, but that only let's you browse through your phone.
Then I found out about SECuRET, which is perfect since it can take pictures and you can remotely control it, but it doesn't take pictures in the highest resolution format (8 MP). Do you guys have any ideas? Doesn't matter if the app is priced or free as I need something like this.
Thank you
Hello, this is my first post.
I recently purchased a second hand 1020. It is running Windows mobile 8.1 and Denim software.
The camera takes great 5Mp pictures. I use Lumia Camera app for the photos. It has the option of setting which high resolution format to save - .jpg or .dng.
The feature of re-framing by using the high res photo is great. I have read about this feature in numerous references. However, I have never read that this feature only works using the high res .jpg files. In settings of Lumia Camera, it states that "Reframing in digital negative (DNG) mode uses the low-resolution photo". I have tested this and the statement is correct.
The high resolution .dng photos are not uploaded automatically to Onedrive, they cannot be used for reframing, they cannot be viewed. The only thing that can be done with these is to manually copy them to a PC and manipulate them in Photoshop or similar software. The main advantage - reframing is not possible.
What is the point of saving to .dng?
Am I missing something here?
By the way the high resolution .jpg is not uploaded automatically either. Is there a special setting for this? I have "Best quality" set in Onedrive setting already.
Thanks
I use BTSYNC to backup automatically high resolution photos of my phone without using the usb port. It works Great and it is really fast.

I have used bluetooth manually - it's much slower than USB of wifi. Maybe it's my computers.
I don't know how to set up automatic bluetooth upload of high res photos.
This doesn't explain what use is a .dng file on the phone.
Thanks
Hell all,
I'm looking for an android (preferably tablet) app that can be used to combine bracketed photos from a DSLR camera into and HDR image. Something similar to Photomatrix Pro or Lightroom. I don't always have my computer available so was hoping I might be able to find something for my Galaxy Tab S2 that will do the HDR creation for me. Does anyone know of anything?
Thanks!
I have tried several apps but they either don't recognise the phone's camera app's DNG format or they are simply useless for other reasons e.g. always writing the output to some directory (folder) in the device filespace which one then has to move them out of.
I need something which can convert them from the SD card
e.g. 0000-0000/DCIM/Camera
to the same place.
The S7 is rooted, with SDfix etc.
I would appreciate any tips. Basically I would like an app which works with the Samsung DNG format and which has configurable in and out folders.
Android v6, not v7, rooted.
If you have RAW enabled in camera settings, the phone also stores a JPEG of the exact same photo, so no need to convert them really
Not sure about Android apps, but on PC just load them into your favourite RAW photo editor and export them as JPEGs (Lightroom for example)
Not quite... taking the DNG and processing it with say Lightroom produces a vastly better quality photo.
See e.g. here for examples

The Jpegs from the phone are over-contrasty and over-sharpened. One should never apply unsharp mask until the image is resized to the final resolution (if at all).
Yes I know that, which is why I suggestion Lightroom
Converting on the phone is not going to give anywhere near the same results as PC Lightroom
Use a PC

The real issue IMHO is that all the camera apps are mostly just control panels for the camera API. They don't AIUI get the image to play with. That is why e.g. all of them have the same contrast steps, same exposure range, etc. The JPG is done by the OS and the app gets what it gets. One camera app developer explained this to me.
Hi all, this is my first post here so please be gentle
I recently upgraded to a Galaxy A52 and have been compiling all of my photo collections onto said device. Motion photos (originally taken on an S9, then stored on an A3 2017) worked perfectly fine, and now I'm trying to figure out if I can get Live Photos transferred from my iPhone SE 1st gen and converted into Samsung's Motion Photo format.
I've searched and tried experimenting for hours, but I haven't found any evidence of someone successfully making a native Motion Photo. If anyone has heard of such a tool, I would love to know.
I did find tools to extract them (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/samsung-motion-photo-extractor.3339997/), as well as some details about the file specs (https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/issues/439).
A basic technical summary for Samsung's Motion Photos is that there is an mp4 file embedded into the jpeg metadata as binary data.
I tried my hand at making such a tool for converting Live Photos to Motion Photos on my own, using ffmpeg and exiftool. This is the flow I attempted:
1. Use Google Photos to backup Live Photos from my iPhone
2. Download them on my computer, which will give me .jpg and corresponding .mov files
3. use ffmpeg to convert and remux .mov file into correct container and codec
4. use exiftool to merge video file into jpeg file
5. copy to new Samsung phone
Unfortunately, I got stuck on the 4th step in writing the exif tags. the tags that Samsung uses are non-standard, and I couldn't find any clear resources on how I could set up an exiftool config file to do so.
I also tried downloading directly from Google Photos on my destination device, but the downloaded files are not visible outside of the Google Photos app so I cannot examine them or use them with any app other than Google Photos. I tried on a rooted emulator, and I could only find the photo portion of the file (corresponding video was not embedded and nowhere to be found). Even if this did work, it would not be a practical method as from the Google Photos app photos must be downloaded individually (no bulk option)
I've mostly given up on this and am not particularly seeking advice, rather I thought I'd share my findings and attempts as there doesn't seem to be much information for converting Live Photos to Motion Photos. Of course, if someone does know how to properly set up exiftool to write the correct tags into the image file, I will be happy to share the batch script I make to convert my collection.
--edit--
just for reference, I created this https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php?topic=12388.0 corresponding post in the exiftool forums, so if someone finds this in the future trying to attempt the same or similar thing, maybe there will be helpful replies there.

Does not seem to work this way.
I found a solution to "transfer" live photos from sn Apple to motion photo on a Samsung app:

But this does not work the other way round.
