Hey community !!
Just found out a big bug with my 3a, all original software...
All my raw files pictures are opening as a preview file (small and really pixelised). Before I remember it was taking a few second to load the full resolution picture, same for every app.
However the annoying part is that even if I transfer the picture to my computer ( email or transfer with a usb cable), any program will open that preview file...
The Jpeg file is 3MB and the dng file is 11MB ... So I believe the data are in the file but wtf is going on as even my computer will open the file ****ed up.
Jpeg file is attached here, but couldn't attach the dng so here it is :

Cheers for the help
I forgot to precise that all the raw files are stored locally on the phone, it's not google photos backed up.

Hi all, I tried to do some shots in RAW mode. After the shot I have two files: a JPG and a DNG. The jpg is perfect as always, but the DNG File is pixelate and it's very bad. I asked at the Honor official page and they said that's normal because I'm watching it on my smartphone and that on PC the quality would be different, but is it really normal?
To my knowledge, the phone shows just the jpg thumbnail of the raw file (since it would be quite cpu consuming to "develop" the raw data each time). So if you open the raw file in Lightroom or raw converter, it should be fine. Also if you edit the dng on the phone and save the result as jpg, the jpg quality should be ok. At least this is my experience (I use raw mode quite a lot to later edit the raw files in Lightroom).
So there's no way to see a clear image while elaborating it. I will se the good results only at the end.
What exactly do you mean by "pixelated"? And what app do you use to watch the raw image? On the Honor's builtin Gallery app the dng is quite ok quality. If you use a third-party app, it's possible that it cannot dig the best-quality preview from the dng file.

While the jpeg is this
Hello, my question is about the raw photos because i dont understand how to work. Today morning I took a few photos and each photos had their .dwg (raw) from "my folders -dcim" apps. But i deleted some photos from the gallery and i just liked 3 photos, but when i wanted to see their .dwg file from "my folder" it dessapear. So.. is strange because each photo has their .raw file , and. I must to have 3 raw files.
So, how it work?
Thabks you so much
When you take a photo using RAW, it will save JPEG & DNG of the same photo
DNG = RAW
Hi. I've just been trying to delve a bit deeper into the camera pro settings. I'm sure I read that the camera can capture in RAW file format . I have seen no mention of this in settings menu. Or if it captures automatically in RAW & JPEG how do I find the files? I have looked for captures in a file explorer but can only find JPEG files.
If it does capture RAW files, I was just looking to transfer them to my computer to play around with in Lightroom that was all.
Thanks for any advice.
EDIT
Doh! I've just found it in the camera settings. Apologies for waste of forum space!
Where??
Hello,
I want to backup all my old pictures (1 TB) with my Pixel 3 xl
Is it possible to get google photos to backup photos from a USB OTG folder without having to copy the pictures on the phone?
I did some searching and saw some suggestions for FolderSync. The problem with the app is that I can't browse to the USB OTG folder.
Thank you
If you're OK with slightly reduced quality (not really an issue or visible unless blowing up the photos to large print sizes) you can just drag them into Google Photos on your computer in a web browser. The Pixel does offer the free original size backups but I am not sure if that's for anything uploaded FROM the phone or only photos/videos captured with the phone camera (based on EXIF or similar).
I want full quality. It work, i checked it.
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.
