[Q] Photos + Gallery Help

Hello guys,
With a little help from my friend i believe i will solve this issue.
When i take some photos and use the video feature, to compile all the photos and make a beautiful video with some effects with all the photos i've taken, some of the photos (in the video) appear to be doubled (in the same image) during the video.
Some photos split in 2, other in 3.
What is this? Any help, would be appreciated.
Thanks

If you are talking about the ''video highlight'' feature in the gallery app, this is normal, its a built-in effect to compensate for pictures taken in portrait mode(1080*1920) when the video plays in landscape mode (1920*1080). If picture were not duplicated/cropped that way, there will be 2 black bars each sides for every pictures clicked in portrait.

Hello,
Thanks for your kind answer.
Let me explain better:
Today i take some photos. I select the photos and with video highlight feature, some of the photos i selected appear in the video doubled or tripled (in the same image). Like same picture: left side no zoom, right side with zoom.
Did i make myself clear? Do you understand?
Only in the video some photos appear with the image divided. Same picture both sides (sometimes with zoom, other times no zoom at all).
Thanks for your help
Cheers

Yes that was already clear, the issue you are talking about is not, its a built-in effect from the ''video highlight'' feature of the gallery app.
All HTC One do exactly the same thing.

Video file framesize not matching what Camera sees

Hello people! I'm trying to record video with my new OP3T, but when I watch the recording, the video frame size (or field of view I suppose) is smaller than what it looks like when I'm shooting. I mean the video resolution is still 1920x1080, but things at the edges of the screen are now out of view. I'm using 1920x1080 @30 FPS, stock camera app, Android 7.0. Same thing happens with other resolutions and FPS settings, and with OpenCamera app for example. But it does not happen when taking pictures, and even when I take a static shot WHILE shooting video, that picture comes out fine.
Is this a known issue? How could I solve this? Is there any modification that could help?

Seems to be a known issue. Watch this video (pay attention at 3:30): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFC9OB85Tpk&t
I don't know if this can be solved as i received my 3T yesterday and haven't had a chance to use the camera yet.

It seems so, yeah. Do you know if this sort of cropping happens during shooting or is it a separate process that's done afterwards? I figured this might be solvable somehow, since you do see the whole picture while you're recording. So it's not a physical limitation of the camera lens or anything.

Noticed that OpenCamera has a function to enable Camera2 API, which fixed the cropping! Also I found that on stock camera app, recording on 4K UHD (3840x2160) doesn't crop the video frame. But it limits to 10 minutes per shot (also workable on OpenCamera due to its restart recording function.)

It's the electronic image stabilisation. It needs to zoom in a little bit to stabilize the video. That's why the 4k isn't cropped, because in 4k, there is only OIS, and not EIS.

Exactly what I thought was the cause of it, thanks for clearing this up ??

Is there any way to disable stabilisation? Different camera app, some mod or something? Even OpenCamera doesn't specifically have a setting for that, but I guess Camera2 API doesn't support EIS or something, which feels like a crutch "solution" at best.

Scan build.prop see if there is some line related to ois or eis.

Heads up - Dont use the default Huawei Photo Editor to crop

I tried cropping a 20mp 4:3 ratio image to 16:9 ratio using the built in huawei gallery app - It SHRUNK the whole photo to 3.6megapixel completely wrecking it
Any other image editor will correctly crop to 16:9 and you end up with a (correctly cropped) 14.7megapixel photo.
I contacted Huawei live support - they repeated it there end while i waited and apologised for the problem as it does it for them as well. Should be fixed in a later update I guess but for now....DONT use the huawei app for cropping at all. Im new to these forums and tried to attach a attachment but if it didnt work - you can see the result here I passed onto huawei https://ibb.co/cxAqQy

I just tried it on my USA branded Mate 10 Pro and it shaved off some of the size (due to the crop) but other than that it all worked fine.

Same here. 3840x5120 4:3 becomes 1920x1080 16:9

Thanks for the heads up!

Try the 20mp setting (Ive not confirmed its a issue with 12mp on mine yet but will give it a try later on today) I should of provided my phone details sorry - Im in australia "Mate 10" (not pro) ALP-L29 8.0.0.132 (c636) Was confirmed as a bug by a huawei live support (they asked me to wait while they reproduced the issue themselves)

Just as a update - I ran the same test on the phones 12mp setting - The 16:9 crop using Huawei editor crops *correctly* for 12mp photos (just not 20mp photos) *edit - my tests were both done in landscape mode dunno if that makes a difference or not, but sounds like 20mp vertical/portrait photos also have the issue from another user*

I have a p20 lite and I have the same problem with 16mp photos.
The standard gallery app resizes every edited 16mp photo to a smaller resolution size on save (or when opening the editor, don't know).
Is this also the case with you guys or only when cropping your large size images?
It does this for every type of edit or tweak I've tried so far.
This is not a problem on the standard editor on the p8 (but maybe that is because the max 13 mp on that camera was 'small enough' for the editor).
My old phone HTC one mini 2 standard editor did also resize every photo (this was not updated in the years of use) . And since (at least with me) it seems to be a problem with every type of edit,
I'm not sure whether this is a mistake or deliberate...?
I'll test an edit on a 16 mp image or larger on the p8 later. If it doesn't resize the photos there:
Maybe there is a way to use the old p8 gallery app on newer models?
I even prefer an aspect of that editor (numeral indicators with the sliders instead of none)

It's possible to disable the gallery app? I'd like to replace it by Google photos.

I tried a couple other photo edits using the stock editor (not cropping) and it shrunk my photos again (12mp photos were affected as well) Ive just outright abandoned the default editor as a complete buggy waste of time its pretty obvious the huawei programmers arnt very good at their job

yes, you can change the default photo app using the default apps setting
the crop seems fine to me though

camera settings help

I am able to see how to change the video recording quality under camera settings but I can't find how to adjust the mp for image size on the camera. sometimes I like to use a low MP so the files are not to large to send via e-mail. any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

The only solution I found is to synchronize with google photos and send the uploaded photo (google lowers resolution and size)

So we cannot set the camera image size on the phone when taking the picture?

this is driving me nuts as well , is there no way to get it back where you can see the actual resolution settings and the aspect ratio ?
i dont know what to choose by these little images

So which setting do I choose if I want to take a low resolution image to send via e-mail?

Interesting your finding.....
The only way to adjust the MB would be by opening the camera.. but instead of selecting settings, select the [3:4], where you can select another type of picture size that this will change also the resolution or MB of each pictures.
Yes, I know it's not the ideal but trying to assist you

best manual camera for Google pixel 4 XL?

I just picked up a Google pixel 4 XL on an amazing deal! I'm just looking for suggestions from other pixel users specifically photographers on what the best manual camera app is that they've used in conjunction with g cam?
I've tested a few but everything I've shot with has resulted in grainy photos or horrible UI. If anyone can resent some suggestions I'm sure this would help out others as well.

For photos the gcam app is King from what I can tell, moment app is ok... If you want superior video control go for FilmicPro.

Have you used the moment app recently? I heard it's very buggy that's what's causing me not to pay for it to test out.
Also I'm not trying to shoot video in any way shape or form I'm just looking strictly for photography. But thanks for the suggestion.

The moment app is buggy, I emailed the devs and they say they are working on an update but couldn't give me a date, so it could be months before we see anything. I'd suggest shooting raw on gcam and playing with the photos in post. There may be something else out there I am unaware of

Isn’t gcam the app that comes pre-installed on the device though or is there some modded version you are referring to that I’m obviously not aware of?

I would use raw from the pixel Gcam however the resolution of all my images on raw is 600 x 800 rather than the original jpeg size of 2040 x 4040 etc. The raw is such a small size leaving me to not be able to use it if needed to print for portfolio etc
Is there a fix to increase the overall size of raw images to larger images or original sizes images like the jpeg counterpart?

I think I'm just slowly starting to figure out how the phone works. Because I looked at my raw folder the best images I took obviously didn't have raw shooting on so that sucked but
what I realized is that for some reason my phone doesn't take raw photos when in portrait mode (the raw plus JPEG option isn't even available). And that my files are previewed as originals in the photo app and then in the actual files app they're all small kilobytes size files. I did an 8 x zoom that turned out pretty well however that's like 930x688
As seen in the pic attached. I just took another pic and when looking at it it's full resolution and amazing quality yet when I look at it in the files app it's all grainy and
I Could have sworn when I did the 8 x zoom the final quality in the preview looked way better than how it turned out when I look through it now LOL.
Apologies for the rambling but those are two issues no. My phone not shooting raw all the time specifically when I use portrait mode. But also I can't seem to find my original raw files are not in the raw folder they're just thumbnails from what I can tell. No I'm not in the thumbnail folder LOL.

Here's my raw folder specifically look at the last 4 images. The aren't recent. And they're so small and pixelated no pun intended.
the photo that I attached in my earlier post above this isn't existent in that folder for some reason. The Spider-Man image below was taken like two minutes ago but for some reason there's only a JPEG of it I can't find a raw file and relating to my earlier post about my phone not always taking raw images.
Somebody can help me figure this stuff out it would save me a lot of headache and hassle

I can't even upload the dng raw file to compare. the Raw file is substantially more grainy than the actual jpeg for some reason
2000x1496 for the raw file
3024x4032 for the exact same image in jpeg.
And much better quality on the joeg. I don't understand if this is normal or not.

I just tried on my phone and the raw images are all 3024x4032 whether I take them in portrait or landscape orientation. If you are getting different resolutions, then something is up. Double check your setting and make sure you are taking full resolution phones and also that the aspect ratio is set to 4:3. The 16:9 aspect ratio will actually reduce the resolution because it crops the image to 16:9. I suspect this is what is going on with your settings.
As far as the actual image quality, have you ever dealt with RAW images before? I ask because RAW images are just that, raw. They will always need to be edited in a photo editing software to bring out the beauty in them. When you use the stock camera, the Jpeg files are automatically processed through the Google software (which is very good) to bring out the beauty in them. It's completely normal for the processed Jpeg image to look much better than the RAW image. RAW images will always look "flat" and grainier compared to a jpeg image because they haven't had any processing (noise reduction, white balance correction, contrast adjustments, etc etc etc) done to them yet.
Of course the RAW image is a non-destructive file format which is why serious photographers prefer it. What this means is that the edits you do on a RAW image are not permanently modifying the original RAW file. They are just changes that are "notated" or "amended" on to the original file. (That's not the correct terminology, but hopefully you understand my point). This means that you can edit those files and makes an infinite number of changes without effecting the original RAW image data.
A Jpeg file on the other hand is a destructive file format however. This means that when you edit a Jpeg file and save it, it permanently alters the jpeg file with that change. The data that it was changed from is lost forever. You can re-edit the file, but you are changing the actual file data every time you save the file and you can't magically bring back data that wasn't saved in a previous edit. In other words, there is no way to get back to the original file after it has been edited and saved.
Here is a different way to see it. Lets say you have a RAW file and a Jpeg file and you make three successive edits to those files......
With the RAW image this is what the data would look like: RAW -> RAW+edit 1 -> RAW + edit 1 + edit 2 - > RAW + edit 1 + edit 2 + edit 3. You can always undo the edits and get back to the original RAW data.
With a Jpeg image, this is what the data would look like: Jpeg -> Jpeg after edit 1 ->Jpeg after edit 2 -> jpeg after edit 3. There is no way to go back to any of the previous versions unless you save each edit as a unique file. (I should note that using Google Photos to edit your jpeg images seems to allow you to go back to the original file, so Google must be saving the edits as a unique file automatically. But if you use another program to edit your jpegs, you need to be aware of the destructive nature of the jpeg format).
Hopefully that helps - either you or someone else reading this thread.

hey brother thanks for the amazing explanation I appreciate it. And yes I have dealt with raw files and I'm aware of how they work. I guess the visuals confused me or threw me off because it's been so long since I've done photography.
I feel a little embarrassed coming in here with an amateur worry we're concerned LOL but I am a conceptual photographer and when using my DSLR I have to go to the similar process and I just forgot that raw files are not meant to look like the finalized jpegs. It's been 3 years since I delved into photography I knew I got Rusty somewhere lol thankfully though I bought this pixel specifically so I can revisit and get back into photography using this device in conjunction with my DSLR.
I'm actually going to save your response only so I can look at it and never come back in here with a foolish post LOL. But also I'm going to look into my resolution because I hate having thick borders on my camera screen and maybe that's why I change the aspect ratio not knowing that it was going to actually crop the image substantially. More tests later today and confirm whether your hunch was true or just think it is. ?

Here are the details of a raw image. Why is the resolution so low? Any idea? This specific issue is annoying me because I can't seem to fix it. I'm just baffled at how low the image size is.

So just to make sure we are on the same page......
When you open the camera app, click on the pull down carrot at the top of the screen. That should pull down the options menu. Scroll down to ratio and make sure it is set to "Full Image (4:3)".
Then click on the settings icon and scroll down until you see "Camera Photo Resolution" and make sure it is set to "Full Resolution"
Based on your previous posts, I don't think this is your issue, but are you accessing the RAW files via the camera settings menu where you select the RAW + JPEG image? That is probably the easiest way to make sure you are looking at the correct file and not a thumbnail, etc. There should be a "View RAW folder" link in the settings menu that you can click on to open the RAW files in Google Photos. The RAW images I have in that folder are in the 10-12MB size range and yours are only 1MB.
I'm hoping that one of these things is the culprit. If not, I'm at a loss to why your images are coming out small.

Brother I followed the directions and when I go to the camera app and look in the raw folder there, I can see the original raw images in high resolution. Why can I not access those original files in the file app or downloaded gallery?

I ended up having a separate album in my Photos app that is entitled Raw. When I take photos with the Jpeg + RAW enabled, the photos appear in that album. Is it possible that you have such an album but haven't seen it yet?

Yes I definetley have that album. When accessing it via the photos app it's fine I see full resolution raw images but in another gallery app or even the files app it's available but the images in them are substantially smaller files.
The trick I found to work for now was to use solid explorer and go in the app and find the files path. And make a shortcut on my home screen. For the files app specifically, I'd access the list in the left panel just click on images and then access RAW. Prior to that I was accessing the internal storage then manually going to camera then raw. When I did that I found the folder but it only contained the small resolution files. It's really weird.
