do you keep hdr on?

[anon(661246)]

Is it normal to just leave it on?

 

[Almeuit]

Yep. No real reason to shut it off. It doesn't slow down picture taking at all.

yeah but not hdr+. I like the motion photos sometimes

Do you mean not HDR+ enhanced?

 

[TraderGary]

HDR+ always ON

do you not find the photos a little saturated?

 

[TraderGary]

do you not find the photos a little saturated?

Not if I keep my color = Natural.

I also look at my images on my PC screen and it is accurately color calibrated with a Pantone X-Rite calibrator. My Pixel 2 XL screen colors are very close to my color calibrated PC screen. So the answer is no, HDR+ does not result in over saturation.

Not at all....HDR should not impact saturation

 

[Almeuit]

No issue with the photos for my eyes.

 

[Photo_Drew]

Correct

 

[Photo_Drew]

HDR doesn't effect color. it adjusts exposure giving more detail to Shadow and highlight areas

What do you think of these shots? Not iver saturated to you?

I don't think so but to really tell you have to compare what you see with what you get.

You know that keeping your screen set to Natural only effects the colors on your screen right...it has no impact on the photos you take.

I'm thinking that he means they don't appear saturated with screen set to natural.

Yes, of course.

I sometimes leave it on! I enjoy it.

 

[KidAKidB]

I always leave HDR+ on. It's not like the old days where HDR would slow down the picture taking.

I always leave HDR+ on. It's not like the old days where HDR would slow down the picture taking.

The new separate Intel Visual Core image processor has made HDR+ processing on the Pixel 2/ 2 XL as fast as standard image processing! With HDR+ left ON, I'm finding no perceptible image processing lag. And that is significant! For me there's absolutely no reason not to leave HDR+ always turned ON.
