Raw photos - Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers

Can someone post a few raw photos, or link to some existing ones online, under various conditions, in different shooting modes (including the computational ones, such as night mode)? I couldn't find any samples anywhere.

HDR Image name

Is there a way to change what the file name is for HDR images? When they upload to dropbox, they have a different file name than the non-hdr images so they don't flow in chronological order, like all of my past pictures from other phones (including HDR from other phones)

How to Save 3 pictures per shoot, RAW, Jpg and Monochrome? In the same shoot.

Hello,
would it be possible to make the phone to save 3 types of pictures per shoot instead of 2? I meant that I would like the phone saving RAW, jpg and Monochrome samples of every shoot instead of saving only Raw and color jpg.
Is there anyway of modding camera app to get this feature?
Thank you.
I don't even know how to take 2 pictures ?
How you do that?
going from raw to monochrome in post is not good enough ?
EDIT: i did not think this trough..... of course its not good enough .... otherwise you would no have asked.... silly me
Yes. In raw mode the phone saves 2 pictures.
I need it to save 3 or raw color and monochrome at least. I use them to stack a picture in photoshop and the result is amazing IMO, but I must take two shoots, hence the pictures are different, specially in long exposure.
I need a way to take raw color and monochrome in one single shoot.
I am thinking about the same problem: raw+Monochrome should do magic.
But when switching from raw to MCh phone changes the angle/positioning so its imposible to take 2 identical photos...
That's not much of a problem. A bit of tweaking with photoshop and done.
But I wonder why both pictures are so different in angle and size. A matter of lens?
Two crops of 100% size pictures. First one is the Jpg that saves the phone. The second one is a merge between Raw and monochrome pictures in photoshop, not quite elaborated:

RAW (dng) photo resolution is only 504x376px

Why so low resolution of RAW photos? In camera setting i have 4:3 12 M selected an save RAW and JPEG checked, but my dng files resolution is only 504x376px.
You cannot compare Raw format with 'normal' pictures. Is known issue, see https://www.google.com/amp/s/forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/s7-raw-images-low-resolution-504x376-t3597101/amp/

It isn't an issue. RAW images cannot be viewed from stock gallery - users need to either view the images through a capable app (Snapseed, Light Room, etc) or load them onto a computer and view/edit them there.
Agree, I meant to say known fact...

Huawei P9 DNG files quality

I have a very bad experience with the raw files produced by P9 camera. I am able to import the files to Adobe Lightroom 6.0 and develop it but when I compare it with the jpg from the phone the DNG is very bad - colours and overall quality. I also tried some online converter with smilar results. Any ideas what the problem might be?

DNG raw files usually have more noise, bad exposure and slightly altered colours as no post processing has been done on it. I use Snapseed for editing these.
I have a Fuji aps-c camera and I shoot to raw sometimes so I know what to expect from raw files. This is different... I'll provide some example when I have a chance...
Regarding the Snapseed, does it provide noise reduction functionality? I tried to develop a DNG file in Snapseed but did not find this....

General GCam Raw file editing...

Hi, I've made a few posts comparing the Wichaya GCam to the stock Asus camera. So far I've always preferred the look of the Asus shots compared both to the Wichaya GCam + config xml. However the Asus shots over-sharpen areas of fine detail and over-smooths some highlight areas which looses fine detail.
Unfortunately there is no way to alter the sharpening and processing of the Asus camera. Wichaya's Gcam, however, can be customised using Ram Patcher settings, and I have been playing about with these to try to alter the look of the GCam shots to my taste.
Both the Asus camera and the GCam can save RAW files that can be edited afterwards. It can take a lot of effort to produce a good result, but for an occasional special picture it can be worth the trouble. I did a quick test today to compare an edited Gcam RAW with the normal GCam Jpeg and Asus camera's Jpeg. I've attached the results as screenshots of the editing software I use.
I was pleased with the edited RAW file (it's actually the Adobe DNG version of RAW) and felt that it gives a more accurate impression of the scene than either the Asus or GCam Jegs. So I saved the settings and in the future be able to apply them automatically. Some additional tweaking will always be necessary to Raw files, but the saved settings will make a good start.
Of course it's possible to also edit the Jpegs of both cameras but the results can become grainy - RAW files have a lot more potential to be edited successfully.
