[Q] Taking pictures and combing them later to HDR - General Questions and Answers

On Google Play is many many HDR apps, some bad, some good.
Every app essentially works like this (when you press the take a picture button):
1. it takes pictures with EV -2.0, then
2. it takes pictures with EV +-0.0, then
3. it takes pictures with EV +2.0, then
4.it combines all three pictures
The first three steps on my phone (Xperia Miro) took about half the second; but last step takes forever (about 15 seconds) and it doesnt look good. If I combine those 3 pictures with PhotoShop combined picture look stunning
My question is; is there some app that can do all 3 steps or is there some app that can do all 4 steps with option to disable 4 step.

Camera Result Variation

The Result is highly comparable when adjusting/playing with settings(Contrast,saturation, bright..etc.) of the camera & gives huge difference in the picture.
I've attached samples as examples.
Pic 1 is over Uni's factory settings with DayLight(ON)
Pic 2 is over Uni's adjusted/changed settings with DayLight(ON)
Pic 3 is over Uni's settings as of Pic 2, but with Contrast +3 with DayLight(ON)
I'm still testing on different settings trying to get the best result possible.
I request other users also to TEST & Post their pics according to their settings, & we'll see who HAS THE BEST PIC, in what Setting?
I realize that HTC camera isn't as clever as that of Sony Ericsson or Sharp ones. I choose EXEC because of its WM6.1 superiority. It doesn't mean that EXEC's camera is useless. I took some night photos with it and really like what it produced. The camera is slow so its effect to the traffic lights in the photos(Car's and motrobike's lights) is very amazing.

[Q] Panoramic photo-ICS-Exposure

When I take pictures of a sun scene with my Galaxy Nexus, using the panoramic mode, the light is not uniform so the picture looks horrible (See attached).
Is there an app which uses constant exposure, or something to fix this?

...nothing?
Info that might help
Hello! I haven't used the feature but I know from the making a panorama "rules" that you have to keep the same exposure in all 3 pictures that you plan to combine. There is huge difference in the amount of light(with and without sun) in the 3 pictures and on automatic mode the camera is trying to compensate in order to correctly expose the picture. Therefore you have to find the manual setting of the exposure and keep it the same for all 3 or any other number of pictures you take for the panorama.
Might help...let me know
It doesn´t work that way, it´s not a combination of three photos, the phone takes lots of them on a single movement, and then it builds the image. The problem is that the camera regulates the exposure automatically, there´s no manual mode.

Gear Watch Designer - Cool!!

Just tried this and, while there are some tricks, it works pretty good. I know have a watch face with just about everything I want on it that looks like I want it to look. Took some experimentation but that was fun. If you know what you want and can't find it anywhere else, give this a try. And I still haven't figured out all it can do. Working on that.
Just designed a watch face that shows an analog between 0500 and 1000 then a digital for the night. Day shows battery %, day/date, and steps. Lots of fun!
AND!! Here's Here's how I got the Layer effect - two watchfaces for different times of the day - using GWD. Tricky but not hard:
- Select a Background from the menu on the left. It appears in the work area.
- Select the one entry you have under Timeline in the bottom left of the space showing your Backgrounds. Then go to Properties in the upper right and rename it Layer 1. Not necessary but I found this easier to work with. Everything you put on this layer will appear above this label.
- Select what components you want on this layer. I wanted a Night and Day face so I use Layer 1 as my night and put a digital face on it. Add complications as needed. They will all appear above the Layer 1 label on your Timeline block on the lower left. When done you will select the time frame they will NOT be visible. For me that's from 6 am to 10 pm.
- To highlight the chosen INVISIBLE times, select a start time from the light grey area on right. Say I want my digital watch to NOT show from 6 am - 10 pm (time shows in the scale on top of the grey area). - -- Put your cursor over the 6am block on any of the visible lines and hold the left button on your mouse down. Scroll around to select the time you want Layer 1 to be invisible. They will appear in green when selected. Now hold the right button down over one of the green squares and select Remove from the menu. This is tricky because the program doesn't always work right. You may need to try several times to get it the way you want it. Play with it. This will Remove that time frame from when this particular face will be visible. You can move the veritcle line on the Timeline around to make your face viable. Now start your second layer.
- Select another Background and label it Layer 2. It will appear over Layer 1 and hide what you have place on there but there will be a white outline for the items you've put on layer one, so keep that in mind. - Now put your desired items on this face as you did Layer 1. I chose an analog face.
- Once you've done that select the time this face will be INVISIBLE as you did Layer 1. I wanted this to be invisible during the times Layer 1 WAS visible so I selected 10 pm - 6 am and Removed that.
Another thing you can do is use the same background for each layer. Simply do NOT select the Layer 1 label on the timeline and it will appear all the time. Only the components will change.
- When this is done test it using the Run button on the task bar at the top of the screen. This brings up a test area that shows your face. Under Condition there is a sliding time adjustment so you can see what appears as what times. Use this to make sure everything shows when it should according to time.
- Satisfied? The build your face using the Build button on the task bar (2 down from Run), save, and you are good to go.
The program will ask you if you want to Save or get a certificate and such. I you don't want to put it on the Market don't worry about it. You can now load directly from the program to your watch. Or you can upload it to the Market to sell or share.
Enjoy! Any questions just give me a shout.
I made a couple of videos and posted them to youtube 4 days ago on this if watching a video is easier for some people.

Great idea! While it's mostly pretty intuitive I did struggle on some of the things I wanted to do.
I once made a cool complicated animation, with many objects appearing and disappearing during the different time periods and battery levels.
But it was so big, that editing it was going extra slow....
I guess, for more complicated watch faces, GWD is not enough. For some crazy animated, complicated watch faces the native app is better.

No idea. It's my first time doing any of this. All I wanted was a couple of useful watch faces and I got that. I think anything more complicated will have to wait a bit in my case.

Camera - Saving multiple single photos from burst shot?

The case: When I try to save multiple single images from a burst shot (let's say 3) I end up with a burst shot of those 3 images and not separate ones.
It's also not possible to save the 3 individually in consecutive actions as the camera app deletes the non-selected images from the burst on save.
In short: Is it possible to save multiple individual photos from a burst shot?

Question It´s not possible to make a 24h timelaps Video from pic. Whats wrong?

I've been trying to make a timelapse video from a photo in the gallery for a long time now. No matter which photo I choose, I can't see the button. What is wrong? The photos are taken according to the sea horizon specifications, etc.
S 22 Ultra EUX Gallery Vers. 13.1.05.8. AVF9 Software EUX One UI 4.1
What can i do?
The AI is a bit finicky and not completely reliable. If you watch this video, you can see that when he scrolls through his images. He scrolls through a series of almost identical images, but the time lapse icon only appears for one of them. The images were almost identical, but only one seemed to be "good enough" for the AI.
It definitely needs some improvement.
I'll give it a try and see what results I get.
I tried it and I couldn't get it to work either. I used images I had taken with my S22 Ultra that met the criteria. S22 Ultra (Verizon) with the same version of Gallery you have.
I just went through my gallery and found a couple of photos that had the icon, 2 of 3 that were similar not sure why it choose those 2.
Like I said, the AI is finicky. Samsung still needs to tweak it a bit more. It seems you will have to take several pictures and hope that the AI works on a few of them.
