What is Google doing with the details processing in this phone? I haven't really seen it brought up in any camera reviews how badly this phone accentuates every single minute detail, to the point of creating photos that aren't close to reality. Here is an example:
Photo taken with Pixel 2, no editing:
Here is the same photo edited in Snapseed. Lowered structure by about 60% and made some white balance and other changes:
And just for comparison, here is the iPhone X shot, no editing:
I've seen this same thing with fabric a lot too. The camera sees lint and things the human eye doesn't notice.
So, what on earth is Google doing? I understand theoretically why one might want to collect as many details as possible, but for a camera marketed and reviewed as the ultimate "just point and shoot" camera, way too many shots require serious editing to use. Anybody else annoyed by this? Any workarounds besides doing a lot of editing?
