Hi;
Photos taken with my HTC Desire HD outdoors in bright light appear to have a blueish hue to them, anyone have this problem and what settings should I change?
Hi, your 2nd picture was what I spent most of today looking at.
You should take a look at your white balance, setting it to fluorescent can give pictures a blue hue. Also try lowering your sharpness, the default camera app tries to hard to enhance the picture and quickly ruins it.

Hi;
I just took a look at my camera settings and the white balance was indeed set to fluorescent and the sharpness was already dropped to -1 so I left it. I also de-selected auto enhance. I'll take some pics tomorrow. I remember adjusting the settings shortly after getting the phone when reading a review on the HTC DHD on how to enhance pictures!!!

Every time I take a photo of something in a little dark setting, most of the colors turn out green. Note that the light is low but not completely dark. White balance is on auto. (i'll try the other WB options soon)
Anyone else notice this ?

ps: yay for then imgur uploader
Its not the camera its the tungsten lights near your car that are turning green, camera sensors and film both have this problem. especially at high ISO ratings
Thats possible, but I've had this happen at two other locations, One indoors at a restaurant.
(also thats not my car)
is that a 350z? friggin sweet man! XD
I have a hd2 tmobileUS rom version 2.13 and radio 2.10

ive seen the fix for the older version but it was for pink dot in the middle... i dont have that problem
can anyone send me to the right link to fix the green hue?

For photography to work you need adequate illumination and a sensor medium that can capture that light at the correct level across the visible light spectrum. The medium needs to be exposed to the light for the correct duration and the light source needs to be bright enough and illuminate the scene for an adequate length of time. There are significant limitations in designing a phone camera to work this way and achieve a ballance and if you look elsewhere you will see that many phone cameras have this issue.
I don't think there is an actual "fix" and your choices boil down to trying different camera settings or downloading your photo's to a PC and tidying them up with Photoshop or similar. Try changing the camera settings from "Auto" to bright light, fluorescent etc. and take a picture of the same scene with each setting and determine which one you like best. Aslo, ensure you have explored the obvious and that there is no obstruction (case, plastic film, dirt) to either the flash or the lens.

I'm not sure if this has been discussed, I did a forum search but found nothing. Just like the title says, when I take a photo with my HD2 using the camera flash, the photo has a weird green tint. Photos taken without the flash look fine. I have gone into the camera settings and played with the contrast, saturation, and sharpness settings but this didn't really solve the problem. Strange thing is, right after I take the photo, it goes into preview mode and I can see the photo with the green tint...after a few seconds it goes back to the camera. But in the split second before it goes back, I can see the photo without the green tint and it looks perfect! But only for a second and the saved photo is GREEN
I got the same green effect on my 2.2 froyo. This happened only after upgrading to the stock 2.2.
Any ideas?

Well i have heard people are having issues with tuere camera from the pinkish hue to the green with flash...people have stated that this might be a hardware defect in the device...i do not know if there are any solutions just giving you a heads up...

Ive had green tint in some photos when ive changed the camera iso to 800 and forgotten to lower it or put it into auto when going into a brightly lit environment. basically seems like the sensor or amps/ADC are being overloaded.
Check your iso setting, try it in either auto or iso100 and see if you still have the problem
Hello everyone, i´m on [ROM] Back to the Future [XBmod-Yuki] [7720 ready] and i was playing with the camera and found out that if i take nigth shots or with poor ligth with these settings:
SCENES - candleligth
FLASH - auto
i have no green tint
At least for me.
Well done, seems to work ok, serious blue tint on normal photos but can set it back to auto.
It doesn't make sense though adding a blue filter to reduce a green tint but there you go!
BTW can we have front facing camera and WP7 on SD please

Yes i know it´s not perfect but if you auto enhance with HTC Photo Enhancer it gets much better at least better than green/yellow tint.
The candleligth settings work better on nigth and poor ligth conditions, on normal ligth or sunny get back to normal settings and pictures come out ok.
I noticed when photographing clothes to sell on FB that black shirts and hoodies look navy blue and orange looks reddish orange and light grey looks bluish. the outside blue sky was shining in the window and the overhead light is warmer. if i hold the camera facing the window it's fine. but as soon as i point it anywhere else then the color balance goes to hell. i tried the stock and Gcam. Also noticed in the living room the green and orange blanket looked like a funny shade of orange instead of green and a yellowish orange on the orange. It seems impossible to get the colors right indoors with some things. anyone else notice this?
Do you have it in manual mode or auto ?
This is quite common. Digital cameras can either automatically or manually decide what is white. It can be hard to get this right in all situations - usually there are some assumptions made in auto mode, but "white" obviously varies based on lighting.
In manual mode, you can additionally turn on RAW saving (it will save jpegs too in this mode). The white balance can easily be adjusted after-the-fact on the raw images (but then you need to use something to convert them from raw to jpeg).
If you want accurate color rendition and you need to use your phone for the pictures, use manual mode. Put a white sheet of paper in the lighting conditions you are photographing in and adjust the color temperature until it looks white. Take a test shot and look at it on another device since everyone's display can vary. Once you get that right, see if your colored objects look right as well (and then maintain the same lighting for everything!).
Oh, and this actually is a problem with film too - only the color balance is a permanent part of the film There used to be tungsten and daylight films or you could use a filter to compensate.
Although automatic white balance works reasonably well most of the time, certain scenarios can confuse the algorithm. The mixed lighting scene you describe is one of them. The camera detects your indoor lighting but most of the ambient light is cool , from the outside. Use manual mode in these situations, and adjust the white balance yourself. If you're going to be taking a lot of photos in the same sitting with the same lighting, it is probably worthwhile to use a neutral or white card to set it. If its just a one time casual photo, just adjust the WB by eye until the look of the preview looks right.

Thanks, the mixed lighting and all what you said is what i figured. I didn't take the time to use manual. i just wanted to get the pictures done and posted to the FB groups before i got lazy and put it off.
