Camera Resolution?

[D13H4RD2L1V3]

If you save as RAW, then you will have to edit and convert to jpeg with a special program.

Just would like to add that said special program doesn't have to cost money.

You can start with Snapseed and Lightroom mobile, both of which are free on Google Play

I've never done a thing other than auto on both phones, guess I'll have to give it a try

A few comments:

- Taking pictures of kids moving inside is one of the most challenging types of pictures for any camera. Even if those pictures were taken with an expensive full frame camera, many of the shots would not have come out sharp because of motion blur.

- I think that you MIGHT be able to get better results by using pro mode, but there is also a bigger chance to mess things up (e.g., over or under exposure). Also in the time it takes to fiddle with the settings, you might miss the ideal moment. Before trying pro mode, I'd try improving technique with Auto mode.

- It makes a HUGE difference if you can get kids to stay still for a second or two, while you snap the picture. Try grabbing their attention or asking them to say a word that makes them laugh.

- Also try using burst mode (holding the shutter button and let the camera take 10 rapid fire shots. Hopefully one of those will be in between movements and without motion blur

- Finally, I had a S5 before and I definitely get better results with the Note 8, with both phones in auto mode.

Unless something changed recently, the free version of Lightroom Mobile does not support RAW files and you have to buy the subscription for it. Photoshop Express is free and does support RAW files.

Sort of.

The free version of LRM supports only .DNG RAW files. Anything else like .ARW or .CRW requires a CC subscription.

Android usually saves RAW files as .DNG, so you should be good there

Last I tried opening one of my DNG files from my V20, it took me to the subscription sign up page.

This camera (Note 8) takes awesome photos, especially in low light. I just returned from Dubai where my photos were all superior to those my wife took on her iPhone X. And the 2nd telephoto lens is very useful!

It worked fine for my Note8. I last edited a RAW file from it last week

I'll download it again when I get back on Wi-Fi and see what happens.

This was taken while hiking a week ago.

It was cropped and some exposure and saturation adjustments in Lightroom.

You’re doing something wrong. I assume you know not to log into or start the free trial for CC in LR. Simply create an albium (if you haven’t already) and open said albium then import your raws into it. I’ve been using LR mobile for a long time. Works fine with raws (DNGs).

I just downloaded Lightroom CC again (Lightroom Mobile no longer exists it seems). It forces you to either sign in or create an account, so I signed in and I was able to use my DNG's in it. So not sure what changed or when, but I may play with it next time I need an edit.

It does look like the subscription gives you selective editing functions, though.
