Lightroom hdr cam trums gcam!

Just tried out the built in cam in lightroom for diffrent scenarios. It really bests both the built in cam and the gcam for both normal and hdr scenarios. Try adobe lightrooms cam out with HDR enabled. Skip the gcam hype.

Samples or examples please

Just one example zoomed in. This was at night. Much more dnr dynamic range with lightroom cam.
Even more pronounced in daylight though. But test it for yourelf. The image file is 40mb un edited. Any serious photographer on any phone should use the lightroom cam from now on.

Some proof lightroom camera totally BLOWS google camera away
https://s.amsu.ng/0NNCM4jQVwxN
https://s.amsu.ng/zo7Lsb2sTsIN
These are max zoom ins. And not even in any hard hdr scenario. In a scenario where hdr is needed the lightroom camera is even more overpowered.

Looks impressive. Cheers.

App link?

Just go into playstore and search for and download
"Adobe lightroom".
Now there would be nice to compair the pixel2 and the note8 with both cams using lightroom hdr camera to really se what phone takes the best pics.

No. Does it require root? Wher can one get it? Id like to compaire it.
- i just tried it! Amazing! BUT SLOW. alot slower than lightroom. Tomorrow i will compair it with lightroom for quality. Sad the final hdr picture from open camera isnt in RAW format. I will post back on details of quality in 24 hrs.

Open camera has raw format.

Yeah but no raw format for the hdr image using hdr function. Lightroom does hdr out of raw files whereas im thinking lr cam is better. But ofc we need to test.

I just tested lowlight.
1. Lightroom preserves more detail and more dnr
2. Opencamera hdr is more compressed ie less detail but less noise. (You could still do manual nrd on lr)
3. No majour differences but a minor plus for the LR cam. LR cam is also quicker.
summary. Lightroom is best. Its quick and gives a bit better quality due to rawfiles in its hdr compaired to opencamera.

Example. Lr on the right. Quite alot more detail zoomed in very much. Opencamera gets very muddy and there is no way you can see each tile on the house.

Hello,
I want to use the ported version of the Gcam on my Galaxy J5(2017) with Android 7.0 and Exynos 7870 Octa. Can someone help me with an Android 7.0 version of this port?
Thank you.

What about the portrait mode in Lightroom, most of the people use GCam only for its exceptional portrait mode option!

Can anyone test if this gcam works well on x2 pro

I am about to purchase this phone, but counting on the use of GCAM because the native of these Chinese does not always do a good job, today I saw that the parrot has released an AWB support version for samsung sensors present on this phone. Can anyone test and tell me if this version really works on the phone?

Can you post some samples against the native? Configs it's activate hdr+ and use 32 frames in advanced settings and setting the pixel awb mod to Samgun GW1

For a first test, everything is working except the slow motion. It forces closing.

Can't install it (global rom)
Edit : work after uninstall gcam 6.1...
- can't select more than 26 frames HDR+ enhanced (with more, no photo)
- can't use "sabre" (crash)
- you can select awb Samsung but I can't see better quality with it.
Finally, I prefer 6.1 gcam at this time

Can you show some samples of this two version of gcam and the native, it's good to our see the results and compare.

Here you go
1st photos of each is the gcam, 2nd is stock
Gcam has hdr enhanced
Stock is aldo hdr

I find the gcam to produce much more accurate colours to what i see in real life. And has better depth. Whereas the stock tries to smooth out everything

The problem with Gcam is that currently it works only for the main camera and the front one...

This gcam is not very good for x2 pro. The photos are very bland and all color, saturation and others options do nothing when you change it.

Hi,
Can't find any GCAM that support tele and wide lens...
Hope that the Indian Release will give visibility to this awesome device.

After all Gcams Apk.....this is the best for mu RM 6s

This is probably the best balanced GCam out there. Photos come out very detailed and sharp. Colours aren't overexposed. Needs very little tweak to get it work as you like. And most of all, the buffer fix is just awesome. Not only does it take better balanced photos than almost all of the GCams I've ever tried, it also fixes the ViewFinder lag. This is literally the go-to GCam for all users.
Though, the Night Sight and Photo Booth doesn't work. That's just the only two things to watch out for. Other than that, it's literally the best GCam for Realme 6 for now. 5/5

Question Will exynos ever get GCAM w/all lenses support?

Im my opinion GCAM pictures are way better. The only cameras exynos can use gcam is front main and ultrawide. There is much more detail in the main gcam camera. I wonder the difference with the other lenses

That's completely up to Samsung. If more people are interested, they need to go into the Samsung Members app and voice their opinions. Don't actually say it's for GCam though obviously. The trick is to demand RAW access for all cameras since right now only RAW for main and ultra wide are available.
For example: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S21/please-allow-all-cameras-on-pro-mode/td-p/1718372

Yes Gcam pictures are better than stock

My particular example was because I'm in the US haha. I would guess that if you make a post on Members, it'll take you to whichever region you're in. You can then share the links too and others can like/comment on it. I'm just mainly saying we should do it on Samsung's official forums since while some Samsung employees do occasionally check XDA, it's pretty rare.

Does Gcam lets you access portrait mode?
Since the last software update the x3 optical lens on the S21 U has become my favourite lens to shoot from. Its essentially a nifty fifty with f stop down to below 1.4 thanks to the computational photography magic.

lol maybe Samsung people do read XDA. After sharing that link (which was posted on Samsung Members almost 2 months ago), a Samsung moderator finally tagged it as a feature request the day after!

I've tried the Gcam for the S21 Ultra, and I even find the overall colors on the Gcam pictures better, but it doesn't even support the full hardware with my SD888.
If you're looking to improve a single photo, you're better off using Lightroom or something like it, you'll get better results if you're willing to put a little effort. If you want to just shoot anything and have it look good, you're **** out of luck, maybe consider an iPhone, I'm sure they have a forum around somewhere.

From what I have found seeing post in this forum, it's all about color correction where gcam is good, in that case I would rather fiddle with it myself in ligthroom, once you get used to it, it's a piece of cake, this is what I got from my s21ultra

It's actually not haha. Stock cam does well with man made things with flat, smooth surfaces like buildings and cars. It struggles with nature sometimes though, especially the 10x telephoto. Adding contrast and sharpening is easy, removing it is hard.

Question Getting more quality out of the phone cameras

Is there any way i could improove the quality of the cameras? The sensors are pretty good and there is potential , but the processing of the normal camera app is just ****. Is there any way possible an gcam app haves color + awb corection for every single sensor in the phone and gets better photos ?

Take the photos in raw format. Then there is no post-processing on the part of the camera app. You can then do the post-processing yourself on the pc according to your own wishes. E.g. with "Adobe Lightroom" or with the free alternatives "Darktable" or "Raw Therapee".
