For even more comparison: Snow 3

(Next time I will do these shots in a shorter interval of time, I promise!)

LINux on MOBile

Here are three additional "Snows" shot closer (within less than 5 minutes) together time-wise on

1. the PinePhone with megapixels
2. the PinePhone Pro with GNOME Camera (snapshot) and
3. the Librem 5 with millipixels (see alt texts if you are not sure which device produced which jpg).

I think I somehow like the OG PinePhone's interpretation best.

@linmob Indeed on my monitor the librem 5 one also seems way too blue

@linmob which one is the most accurate though?

@ikt PinePhone - it's likely less detailed though, when zooming in. But @martijnbraam et al. definitely did a great job with processing sensor data from PinePhone.

@linmob
Wow Pinephone is better than ppp

@linmob For the PPP / Camera I'd like to point out that it relies on #libcamera, #PipeWire and #GStreamer, all of which would need some improvements to get to similar results like MP on the PP (in case of libcamera mainly device specific).

That being said, the big advantage of using that stack is that the camera can be used in more apps, such as Decoder, @dino or #Firefox

So I personally would love to see more of the knowledge and optimizations in MP finding their way upstream :)

@rmader Yes, very good point, thank you for making it! This comparison was in no way meant to suggest "Snapshot bad", or similar - I rarely compare pictures like that, absolutely not a photography person 🙂 .

Megapixels pictures got this good with postprocessd git.sr.ht/~martijnbraam/postpr and stacking (poor slow PinePhone taking two pictures and then calculating/stacking a great result) - needless to say, PinePhone pictures take the longest time in processing.

@rmader @linmob @dino So... how much are you willing to help? If have auto-exposure support for libcamera, the rest of the stuff should be relatively easy, but integration is definitely not...

@linmob with my #librem5 I often manually set the white balance to avoid the "blueing" of the image.

@dad I sometimes do that with focus - the picture looks way less blue (very much like the PinePhone Pro picture) on the (in comparison to my secondary L5) yellowy screen on my first/main (early, I think build in 2020, bought used January 2021) Librem 5 - so I could not really fix that on device.
