So, the Pixel 2s camera is amazing! How does Lightroom camera app keep up?

Hi
The camera on Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL is the best imo, and been working great for me.
- Ive been using Lightroom to edit my photos taken by the stock camera app. Never really used the camera app from Lightroom, but I tried it yesterday and it is absolutly amazing when shooting in DNG (RAW) and Professionel mode, where you are able to use manuel control.
Anyone else who has experience with the proffesionel mode in Lightroom with success?
The main question is; in Lightroom you are able to choose HDR photos , and sincs the stock camera app on Pixel 2 use HDR+ as default, I am wondering if anyone has some experience with whether there is a difference between these?
And does any know how it works with Camera HAL HDR+ turned on and using HDR in Lightroom?
Johnny

I got my pixel 2 after the new years holiday. I did some testings with both default camera's normal/ hdr+ / hdr+ enhanced and Adobe Lightroom app raw format, in different lighting conditions. So far I would say without post production and editing, Pixel's default camera app gives everything you need. However there's some raw/dng shots I took with Adobe Lightroom look nicer than google's camera app after editing work done in Camera Raw. I can post some samples if you are interested.

I've been using Lightroom extensively on my iPhone X and the quality of the images (even in JPG) is leaps and bounds ahead of the stock app.
For my recently bought Pixel 2, the experience has been very bad so far. It's five times slower, the quality seems to lack a little and several options are not present or implemented in a worse way than on iOS.
I did not find a way to use the new HDR API (you can activate it in the developer options) with Lightroom yet. The build-in HDR function looks like crap imho.

]Hey guys,
I have been quite busy lately, so this is a brief comparison.
My Pixel 2 took a couple of shots with default camera app in regular, hdr+ and hdr+enhanced modes. If you look at the metadata screenshots, you will find it in the application field, it says:
"walleye-user 8.1.0 OPM1.171019.013 4474084 release-keys" - regular mode
"HDR+ 1.0.177471000z" - HDR+
"HDR+ 1.0.177471000n" - HDR+enhanced
Apprently HDR+enhanced mode merges multiple exposures and create a final result contains the best dynamic range and exposure with good amount of high lights and shadows.
see the back lit tree for reference.

}
For Adobe lightroom, I took both regular dng (raw) and hdr dng(multiple exposures raw data merged, similar to "merge hdr" feature in the new desktop Camera Raw plugin) In this case the lighting is quite dramatic and tricky, for the same example you will see that the data captured in regular dng isn't big enough to restore the over exposed sky, but the hdr dng which doubles in file size is able to. ( I will upload full res images later to google photos if you want to compare lightroom hdr raw vs. google camera hdr+enhanced)
but most cases lighroom's regular raw dng is able to give you the same results as google's hdr+ enhanced. see this ocean view. The overexposed sky and under exposed trees are fully restored
when i compared photos from lightroom and default camera app, there's not much difference between processed dng files and HDR+enhanced mode. See screenshots of the ocean - dngs are better in a way that they bring up more details in some shadow areas
more examples will be posted soon. I'm having a problem - I forgot which dng files are untouched straight out of pixel 2, without manual adjustment applied.

Great threat/post, thanks so much! LR on Pixel 2 hdr dng is such a hog, it's unbelievably slow, but I think its the only way to shoot hdr+ dng on the Pixel 2, am I right? I've tried camera nx but while it makes dng files and the previews looks hdr I can't ever get them looking hdr-y, they just look like standard one-shot raw files and no app on windows seems to display tue hdr data, even LR classic cc. Would love some more info / posting on this, and any sample files named with what they are, as I can't tell from a couple of your screenshots.
Thanks so much for this! Have you tried camera nx (7.2 ver works on pixel 2 from december 17, anything more recent crashes on ppening. Also, Manual cam dngs?

Why don't you make a bounty thread ? It will be lot easier of all people to contribute there. We want a perfect google camera with pixel 2 as model alsong with pixel 2 algorithm with all things working. Also one more thing can a developer implement the same potrait mode as pixel 2 with dual pixel technology of s9. I am taking about rear camera potrait of pixel 2 which blurs the background way way more than the front camera algorithm

If you need portrait mode, maybe this apk will work on s9+ too.
On my S9 I'm using the apk from here:

Working portrait mode and photo sphere for main camera. quite stable with the mentioned settings: model to nexus 6 and enable portrait mode all models, other settings on default.
I tried some different apks, but kept this one for stable portrait or photo sphere shots

Adobe Lightroom CC Mobile camera with HDR support on S9+
Hi there,
Is anyone else using Adobe Ligthroom CC mobile app on Exynos S9+ as an alternative to GCAM for HDR photos?
It's free and supports HDR capture on S9/S9+ as part of tech preview.
All you need to do is enable HDR capture mode in options.
Results are stunning both GCAM and LR camera and they both make far better HDR photos compared to Samsung stock app.
I have stable version of GCAM 5.1.018.177470874 but color tinting is ruining the low light photos. This is not a problem with LR cam.

The only issue I found so far is that it always uses the camera primary rear camera with f/1.5 regardless of the lightning conditions. Same issue as with GCAM.

Which settings should be used for "non portrait" version mentioned in OP? Camera opens but shows a blank screen. Any changes to settings makes app close

Your Photos come too dark?
Tap the screen when taking a photo and slide up and down the finger to increase/decrease the exposure of your photo.
This applies to Front and Back Camera(s).
CHOOSE BETWEEN HDR+ AND HDR+ENHANCED
HDR aka (High Dynamic Range) increases the Dynamic Range, the difference between details in the darkest parts of the picture and not washing out in the brightest parts.
HDR+ is just a larger range on this and HDR+ Enhanced even larger again. Basically the phone takes a range of pictures and it combines the underexposed bright parts and the overexposed dark parts into one picture.
If you leave it set to Enhanced, it will almost always give you the best effects and image quality as it gives itself a little longer time to bring together the image.
The only times usually to use HDR+ is when your needing quick snaps of a moving object or if you want a faster shutter image.

Thanks for sharing. I will try

Thx a lot

Thanks for sharing sir

I'm on the fence choosing between mi 10 ultra and the pixel 5. Would be great to see some day and low light pics here. I wonder how the Mi10 ultra handles Gcam as in shutter lag after pressing the button, ability to "tap to focus", how fast it processes pictures, and if there is some photo quality drawbacks as purple grain for instance. The stock mi 10 ultra has too much "butification" and skin smoothening for my liking.

Funny guy this strngst.

Can anyone confirm that all features of this Gcam works on all four cameras on the Mi 10 Ultra?

Yep. There are 4 "zooms" to choose from, and each are using the specific lenses (verified by covering the camera with fingers).
Unfortunately the tele lens doesn't go to 120x zoom.

if you really want to zoom that far with gcam, try the Wichaya port; you can use the 5x lens and then set the digital zoom up to 100x more -- recommend not going past 30x digital zoom since the viewfinder doesn't show it, but still that's 150x total

Dennis XML file is pretty good, but sadly extremely buggy :/ hope there will be other XML files in the future

3 Questions:
- Does this mean that the default camera will be replaced with GCam?
- What if I want to delete GCam completely. Can all this be undone?
- Is it better than the Stock Camera?

It's simply a standalone app, it will not replace your system camera app.
You can use one or the other as you see fit and uninstall GCam normally at any point.
From my testing, I can't see it as a direct upgrade over the stock camera app, it may just be that Google's post-processing can produce better results in certain situations.
However, it becomes apparent that GCam doesn't natively support this phone, some features of the stock camera are outright missing, such as: 8k or 960fps video, 120x zoom and more
Personally, I prefer the original stock camera app (from the original chinese ROM).

New Nikita GCam update is released with few fixes, when tested with this Dennie's Config XML its giving pinkish overlay for all photos.

Fixed the issue by using the latest Config xml

Just to provide a clear update to available GCam ports and their respective configurations, saving you the need to search through the Telegram GCam group for Mi 10 / Pro / Ultra.
Available ports for the Mi 10 Ultra:
1. Nikita GCam
2. Wichaya GCam
Available configs for the Mi 10 Ultra: see attachments
Both port versions are the latest at the time of writing and they work well with the respective config files (made by Dennis) - tested them out myself.

It's really a matter of personal taste. I liked the Nikita port a bit better.
Give both a shot and you'll see for yourself.

Thanks for sharing. The quality is very good on closer objects but if I take pictures and focus on a specific object in the distance,I just get blurry image and it takes really long to focus. Other than this, it's working really good

The updated Nikita 1.9 Gcam with XML by Dennis is really awesome: Downloaded both from: https://www.miscw.com/download-and-...-mi-10-ultra-updated-15th-nov-2020-32394.html

General Gcam or OP software

Hey,
I think Gcam still takes better photos on OP9 than the stock software.
Seems to me working with google to create better software would have bee better than Hasselblad nonsense.

Which gcam are you using?

BSG. https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-bsg/f/dl11/
ENG version, I honestly don't know what the variants are, just went with ENG.
Snap I think is for SnapDragon.
For some reason Arnova's release isn't working for me even though he's tested his with 8/8T/8 Pro. BSG's release seems to be working fine.
Seems to be switching to the wide angle camera properly.
Not sure if full extent since the file size and resolutions are the same between both Gcam and stock cam app.
But it seems the Gcam is faster and thinking I prefer it's pictures.
Due write your impression of the Gcam vs stock camera.

Hmmm...I'm getting pretty much the same results from this one and the stock one in my limited indoor test. Maybe better portrait mode on Gcam?
The shutter is definitely faster on Gcam.

Color balance looks the same?
I'm starting to think the Hasselblad natural color was only for the Pro, the 9 didn't get it.
The color shift from main to wide on Gcam is the same as stock. Whereas test photos I've seen from reviews on the Pro, the color shift is less.
I think the Hasselblad branding on the 9 is a scam. It wasn't applied by default. If you use Pro mode, can see change in color, I don't know if that is Hasselblad natural color or that is just one more instance of OnePlus fail with their colors. I did notice on Pro, I don't think I can use the wide camera in Pro mode.
May just let Google do their thing.

I'm sticking with GCam. The stock cam washed out some of my pictures and then, in direct sunlight, it darkened and over sharpened.
I'm using the 7.3 Wichiya GCam and xml.
A little dark but clearer in low light.
In good light, it's outstanding compared to oneplus 9 stock software.

Sorry it took me a while to reply, I had to work the whole weekend and didn't have time to play with it. I was wrong, I can see the difference now. It looks like by default, the stock photos are a bit more vibrant than Gcam.
Gcam is a closer representation of what I see IRL. OP9 stock adds some color, kinda like what Samsung does I feel.
Here are some examples:

[GCAM CONFIG] cpkelley94 GCam 8 Config for Lineage/AOSP ROMs

cpkelley94 OP8T Google Camera Config for Greatness 8.2 on Lineage/AOSP ROMs​
About​Hi everyone!
I recently purchased an OP8T and switched over to LineageOS 18.1 and I am loving the experience; however, I lost the OOS Cam in the process (which wasn't very good anyway in my opinion). I had previously used GCam on my OP3T and was able to get wonderful photos consistently. However, I wasn't quite happy with the experience of GCam on OP8T. A lot of fundamental work has been put into the base configs by others (big thanks to enerGy!), but I wasn't quite happy with the photos I was getting from these configs, so I am building my own, starting from enerGy as a base.
I am continuing to work on improving this config over time and will post updates periodically with a changelog complete to the best of my ability.
Features​
All major cameras working (Main, Ultrawide, Macro, FFC) with an easy toggle in the app (Macro does not work on some AOSP ROMs)
Natural saturation profile and exposure indoors and outdoors (my preference for saturation profile is somewhere between the Pixel and Samsung Galaxy)
Zoom slider that auto-hides
Night Sight, Portrait mode, Sunset mode, Astrophotography, Video with stabilization, Slow Motion video working
Strong auto-focus with manual option by selecting a position in the viewfinder, object tracking enabled
Known Issues​
Macro does not work on some AOSP ROMs
Because of the way RAM Patcher is implemented, the saturation profile of the FFC is currently tied to the back cam that is currently selected (Main, Ultra, or Macro). For best selfie results, switch to the Macro cam (if available) before flipping to the FFC.
Main camera is still locked to 12 MP binning. Working on seeing if this can be fixed via Magisk module.
Video quality currently isn't as strong as OOS Cam.
Note about OOS vs. Lineage/AOSP​Similarly to the OP7 series, it looks like various configs and registers have been implemented by OnePlus in OOS to improve photo quality in the OOS Camera on OP8T. However, these registers interfere with the quality of photos in GCam. In my experience, the photos I get from this config and GCam on LineageOS surpass the quality of OOS Cam, but your preferences may be different. This also means that this config is tuned for parameters in AOSP/Lineage ROMS and may not achieve optimal results on OOS or ROMs where OOS Cam is enabled. Let me know your experience.
EDIT 07/12/2022: It appears that the availability of the Macro camera to GCam is ROM-dependent. Macro is confirmed to work on LineageOS 18.1, but has been reported to crash in ArrowOS and SparkOS. If you are on an AOSP ROM and the Macro does or does not work for you, please feel free to report either in this thread or by DM. Thank you!
My Setup​I have only tested this config on my own device, info here:
Variant: KB2007 (T-Mobile)
Firmware: KB2005 (latest A11)
Android version: 11
ROM: LineageOS 18.1
GCam: GCam8.2.204_Greatness.211115.1033Release_Snap.apk
I expect this config to work well across many OP8T device configurations, but if you have a different device setup and this config does or does not work well for you, please let me know!
Installation Instructions​
Download and install GCam 8.2 from Greatness. The version I use is available here. Be sure to download the Snapcam version (org.codeaurora.snapcam).
Download the config available in this post and place it in /sdcard/GCam/Configs8. Create these directories if they do not already exist.
Open GCam and double tap on the black region below the viewfinder to open the config selection menu. Choose this config and tap Restore.

Thank you for sharing this. Does the app crash when you open the Macro camera, or after you take a photo? Are you able to take any photos with Macro without it crashing, or does it crash every time?
How is the performance with the other cams?

This is working great on LinageOS 18.1, thanks alot for the contribution!! Lovely pictures.
Can't wait for a Magisk module, for the limitation of 12MP.
I also tried with the updated Gcam apk, and can't see any issues in the application. How come you use the older version?

Great to hear it works for you on the new APK. No specific reason I haven't updated my app, just haven't had time to test the new version and I have been sticking with what I know works for now.

It looks cool, but unfortunately the app crashes when I select the first lens from the bottom. I also tried to activate macro mode in the settings (it was not enabled by default) and the same happens, the application shuts down.
I recorded what it looks like:

The same thing happened to me as well. Everything else is pretty good, but the macro lens doesn't seem to work properly, and the camera app crashes.

Config version v2 released, available in OP (07/12/2022):
Increased saturation for Main and UW
Balanced RGB color profile for Main and UW

Thanks so much for reporting this and for the recording. I have updated the OP to reflect that Macro appears to be unavailable to GCam in some AOSP ROMs. Macro has been working well for me in LineageOS 18.1.
I anticipate this issue will require more than just a config change to fix, but I will look into it.

I needed to enable the Macro lens in the settings as Camera 3, but then it worked. It takes pictures and focusses properly, although the Pics are a bit grainy (but as far as I remember this was the case in OOS as well). However when I first enabled it Camera 3 was labeled as Tele, had to rename it. Camera 4 & 5 don't work and lead to an immediate crash. I guess there is no way to enable the real Tele Lens, because tapping on the 2x Button just seems to zoom in on the main camera.
I am on Arrow OS 12.1, latest OOS 11 Firmware and GCam8.2.204_Greatness.220428.0041Release_Snap.
Thanks for your work! This is by far the best config I found so far.

Usong Greatness Snap abd this XML, macro lense crashes gcam.

Thanks for your work... Your xml is amazing

Thank you for the info! Btw the OnePlus 8T does not have a telephoto lens-- only main, ultrawide, macro, and a small monochrome sensor.

Oh of course, you're right. Got confused by the amount of cameras

Macro is crashing on AOSP roms and human portraits having a dark skin tone. Waiting for update
