I have the photo and gallery app. I can't find the auto awesome feature to apply to pictures I have taken.

I believe Auto Awesome is a Google+ feature.

Auto Awesome works with Google+ as mentioned and it does it automatically when you upload photos to your G+ Albums.
Could anyone please post photos clicked using stock and 3rd party apps?
In some reviews it's mentioned certain manual features (like shutter speed) cannot be controlled in Moto X style/Pure. Is it true?
true for stock camera. can't adjust iso either. the camera app blows.

Moto Camera app versus Google Camera, in panorama
The first attached file, is a panorama with the Google Camera app. The second is a panorama with the Moto Camera app. With Panorama, the Moto app does not handle lightt well at all. For any indoor panorama shots, use Google Camera.
And of those two photos. I can tell you from being there. The lighting in the room is very much like is shown in the Google Camera shot.
panorama is garbage on this phone. it's such a low resolution, it's always blurry never in focus.. it's god awful.

Try it with the Google Camera app. What I have posted here, is chopped down during upload to XDA and are not the full size photos.
Thanks for all the posts!!
Could anyone pls try the manual camera app and let me know if the Raw files, ISO, Aperture control etc. are supported on Moto x Pure?
I read somewhere that the camera apk2 is not included in moto camera app and thereby limiting some of the functionalities. Thanks for the reply!
Manual camera does not work. It crashes constantly if you try to change ISO or any of the other settings. I don't understand what Moto was thinking? Surely there is a way to provide a nice point and shoot experience while also allowing advanced settings if the user is so inclined. This phone has a killer Sony Sensor and the Moto Camera app handicaps it terribly.
I installed Google camera on day one and haven't touched the Moto camera since I experienced it's awfulness.

The Moto camera app is complete trash for panoramic shots. I'm not sure what they were thinking there.
I too have experienced the crashing apps from trying to change ISO. Bummer because I love using FV-5 and it is pretty much useless on this phone.

They flat out excluded the Lollipop Camera2 API. That is why nothing works and you get the crashes. Hopefully someone smarter than I can bake it into a custom rom soon.
Motorola excluded the camera2api for some dumb ass reason. No manual controls at all.
I use the Google Camera app, overall I get better results than the Moto crap app.
Can you get Google's camera to record in UHD?

This is getting depressing. With things like this and the non-enhanced dialer. This is not the "pure" Android experience I was looking for. It at least this is resolved by using Google Camera. Google does not have a separate enhanced dialer app.

Open camera can record in UHD 3840 x 2160
I use open camera but with no stabilization I don't even really bother taking photos at all. Especially since even using flash produces blurry photos with the slightest subject movement. I've been very disappointed with the quality in that department. If your taking a still and nothing is moving even the slightest then the image is good.

You are saying that when you check the auto-stabilize option, it doesn't work for you?
To those that use Open Camera, does the stock gallery display the pictures taken? Seems that with the stock Moto camera, Google camera, and Camera MX, pictures taken by any of them show up in the gallery. Pictures taken with Open Camera? Nope :\

The pictures on my phone showed up under the albums tab, in a folder called OpenCamera on the stock gallery.
I wish OpenCamera had and option to save to the external sdcard though.

Hmm.. seems that I fixed my own issue. Under Options > More camera controls, if you have Use Storage Access Framework checked, it seems it wasn't having my photos appear in the gallery. With it unchecked, photos I now take are. Don't know the cause of that.
Right above that option is the Save location, where you can have the photos saved to the external sdcard :good:
Recently I bought a Google Pixel 2 and before that, I don't know the fact that when I shoot #Blur photo like Bokeh Mode; it clicked two photos contains in one single folder, first one is blur photo that other is an original clicked photo. Is there any solution that photos can remain in one folder only instead of many blur photo saved in different-2 folders.
Try GCam Tool in play store.
It also automatically moves portrait photos taken with Google Camera, to the correct gallery location.
Seems like this exactly what are you looking for

Hey guys, I have a weird problem with some photos that come out of the stock camera app. When I look at them on the stock gallery app it shows as a normal 16 MP photo. However, when I look at it on a google photos app it shows only as a 0,7 MP photo. These photos also upload to the Google photos cloud as 0,7 MP which is unusable. Have you experienced any similar stuff?
Isn't that normal if you want unlimited free photo storage on Google photos?

Hm, no. Google Photos offers free unlimited storage up to 16MP normally. So it shouldn't do that..
Also that's only for content uploaded to the Google Photos cloud. He should still be able to see the full resolution in the app if he kept the original photo.
Just a quick disclaimer, I am able to see full resolution photos in stock gallery app, not the Google photos app. And it does not happen to the pics I take with GCam, they are being backed up correctly.
thats not the case for me
if i make a photo on stock cam and its displayed as 3-5MB in Google Photos
If i take the photo with 64mp camera it uploads as 0.7 but if i just use the "photo" option on camera app it uploads it as 16.1mp
When u use HEIC files format in the camera the photos won't get backup to Google photos. Anyone having the same problem?
That's Google Photo problem, it doesn't support HEIC format.

I have the same issue. Alternatively, you can go to the gallery app and upload photos to Google Photos in bulk. They'll be converted to .Jpg though. Else you can just change the format that pictures are taken in by default

HEIC photos from xiaomi don't have exif data and that's why Google photos don't like them. Xiaomi knows about issue for few months.
iPhone 7 HEIF uploads fine to the same Google Photos account that my Xiaomi MIUI 12 phone is trying to upload HEIF to, and it fails. (images shows a crossed out cloud icon)
Switching off HEIF on MIUI 12 and it uploads fine as jpg
Google's closed the loophole and apparently blocks HEIF though Android 10 offers it
