Is it possible to have the phone save images as raw files instead of compressing them? I've been playing a little with HDR photography and would really like to play with the uncompressed images.
Cheers!

hey guys.
is either photo format better than the other? my tv unfortunately can't reproduce either .mpo or .jps, but i wonder if either one can give a better image simply because it'll compress less or something.
what about video format? I would assume .mp4 is a better format? my tv thankfully plays both formats just fine, so i've been watching my videos on it. i can't tell a difference between a format and the other, but haven't done extensive comparisons yet.
any other suggestions on how to get the best image quality for pictures and/or videos on this phone are welcome
I really wouldn't say there is a best format... would really depend on the device you are viewing on.
But I put Inception in 3D on my phone. Was a MP4 file but .m4v extension.
I've switched to using .jps as my standard 3D image format, because when viewed in a standard image viewer on a non-3D setup it displays as two side-by-side images (whereas .mpo simply won't display in most 2D image viewers).
I haven't noticed any difference between the image quality of the two formats.
thanks for the info. i'll use .jps and .mp4 then. hopefully samsung will update the firmware to support either photo format soon
Hey guys. Alot of these roms are 200mb's+ and i was wondering how to highly compress stuff? Ive seen files being cut in half from 200mb to 100mb and sometimes less. But i cant cant anything to do this. 7zip is garbage and only makes a 12.4mb file into a 12.3.. no point in compressing it. Ive also see a jpg compressed file go from 2gb to 500mb.. I would really like some help.. 7zip, winrar, and windows standard zip are all terrible. Although 7zip does the best, its still bad and they are 2008 programs.. 1 year in technology and programing is outdated and we have 10 times better things
Doesn't quite work the way you believe, and modern compression is nearly exactly the same as what we were using 1, 2 and even 5 years ago.
JPEG is a lossy compression method (you lose quality and gain compressibility, this is fine for a photo). MP3 is quite the same, and it is also generally fine for music. For files such as drivers, scripts, kernels and the such, we need lossless compression. This uses redundancy to compress, and once extracted you'll have exactly the same file as you did before (ie, no loss in quality). This is the same as FLACs and PNGs, for example. Compressing an already compressed jpeg will do practically nothing, it's already compressed. As with mp3s and flacs.
Text files and some binaries are often not compressed though. As a result, throwing a 20mb text file into 7zip will probably turn it into 3mb or so with moderate compression. If there is something to compress in a folder full of files (such as ROM files or even .zips), you will notice filesize will drop. For example, i half the size of my NANDROIDs by compressing them as .rars when i store them on my computer.
It's all about knowing what to compress and how. 7zip is a great compressor and is still very widely used today. For some good reads, Lossless and Lossy data compression.
Hi, not sure whether this should be in the apps or the questions thread. But since it's a question...
Are there any camera apps that can produce uncompressed TIFF images (or another uncompressed format)? JPGs are all fine and well, but getting at the RAW data is always better...
Many thanks

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Camera FV-5 has an option for lossless PNG. It's a paid app, though...
Would someone be able to share DNG raw photos of the stock app vs Gcam ?
Thanks!
No one has DNG raw samples available to share?
Can i record raw videos like taking raw photos with third party app or stock one?
