Pixel camera ruins the photos? Google’s software treads the hand too much
Those who have followed the world of smartphones for a few years, know that Google Pixel always appear among the most recommended options for photographic quality. With the most recent generations, Big G has renewed the pixels cameras also from a hardware point of view to adapt to the market, but the real ace in the sleeve has always been the Google software. A few years ago the elaboration of Google images intervened above all to compensate hardware limits and to give the photos a look generally appreciated by users. Now, however, it seems that Google is calculating the hand a little too much and users are not happy at all: the title of a Reddit thread that is collecting several feedback is emblematic: “Photo Processing to Death“that is to say “Elaboration of photos until death”.
The user ABCDE__DCBAowner of a Google Pixel 9 Pro shared a couple of photos and expressed negative comments on his experience. The criticisms concern on the one hand the discrepancy between the preview shown by Pixel camera at the time of the shot and the final result obtained and on the other theToo heavy intervention of software processing of Google, which translates into a chromatic yield that is anything but realistic. As you can see below, the user’s orange -colored Ford Mustang Shelby becomes red at the end of the elaboration. The user specifies that he has deactivated the Ultra HDR and not having noticed differences by changing the resolution from 12 mp to 50 mp. The same “Rich Color in Photos” setting, which uses the P3 display color space instead of the classic (and more limited) SRGB, does not seem to produce significant effects.
Several users commented by adding their reports. At present, it seems that the only way to mitigate the problem consists in activating the function Top shotchoose the most correct result and save it as a copy. In short, not exactly the most convenient of the solutions to create a shot with greater chromatic loyalty, also because top shot must be activated every time a photo is taken. In addition, while Ultra HDR mode is optional, HDR processing cannot be deactivated by Pixel users.
The user stresses that it could be a bug, but it would not be exactly new, given that last month there had been similar complaints from other users. There is even a video that testifies that the preview of the photo and the trial developed are not the same at all. It remains to be understood if these users of the users have already arrived in the GOOGLE ear and if the Mountain View giant intends to meet its users.
