Pixel 3/3 XL-Share your photo(s) here!

Sorry for the stupid question. But this is my first phone with RAW capability. When I take in RAW mode and look at the file, it seems that it is not as sharp as the JPG counterpart, and a lot more noticeable if I zoom in? Anything I'm doing wrong?

I think RAW takes up more storage also.
 
Raw files are huge compared to the jpgs. But that’s not a reason to not use raw if you know how. Simply offload the raws.

I used to play with RAW files with my DSLR some years back but I found I didn't have the time to dedicate. Also as the camera bodies evolved the built-in post processing with the right Auto or manual settings started getting super close to my desired results and with a little post tweaking I was satisfied. Problem is all this automatic stuff makes you lazy.
Maybe when I retire I'll get back into it or they will figure out a way to capture what the eye sees.
 
This is so true. If I am taking pictures I think I could want to do something with, I capture both. Storage is not at the much of a premium these days, so I have the hard drive space to store. Thing is, in most cases I want to share before I can do the processing, so having the jpg, especially for screens is good.

These days, more and more, good is good enough.
 
So here is the same photo purposely shot into extreme direct light for maximum contrast purposes. One is the Pixel's output with HDR+ (can't recall if "enhanced" or not) and the other is a JPG copy of the DNG RAW file it also produced. It's a perfect way to see exactly how much processing Google is able to apply to a photo to produce some amazing results. (I don't know why the HDR image is uploading upside down.)

Love these headphones.

Good for me... I use one at a time while at work so I can listen to whatever I want. I think they might last longer because I do that. I really do like them for my needs.
