Camera app with Contrast/Saturation?

Hey guys -- I've been trying to find a camera app that lets you adjust the Saturation and Contrast on all phones. I've found on the Droid X the pictures would come out a lot nicer looking if you could always add +1 to both saturation and contrast...
I just don't get why apps like Camera360 and others don't have this simple adjustment to pictures it captures. I used a Galaxy S phone for a while and while it had these options in the native camera app, but the settings were not sticky across uses of the camera.
Frustrating something so seemingly simple is hard to find!
Anyone know of any apps that have this ability?
Thanks!

Question about app idea

Would it be possible to have an app that uses the motion from the watch to make sound effects on your phone? Specifically lightsaber effects I'm going as a sith for Halloween and didn't have the extra to pay for the sound effects board on my saber. Just curious if something like this would even be possible

Xperia Z2/Z3 Limited Adaptive Dimming

Hey all,
Just picked up my first Xperia device, T-Mo's Z3 (DD6616). Mostly impressed with the quality and UI options.
I am at odds trying to understand Sony's screen "Adapt to lighting conditions" option under Settings/Display/Brightness Slider... When this option is checked, it hardly makes any change based on ambient lighting. I still find myself making slider adjustments routinely to match ambient lighting conditions.
My question is, is there any solution to this? Maybe a 3rd party app that better manages screen brightness? Any help, thoughts, or insight as to how to improve this limitation would be greatly appreciated!

I will check, I did not notice this much. My LG G2 autobrighness was also wonky but an update fixed it, I'm sure it will be tweaked/finetuned in the future.

Does V20 has portrait mode like iPhone in Camera?

I m willing to buy this phone for HiRes music and it is cheaper now. But I want to know if this thing has portrait mode or not.
Portrait Mode: It is similar to bouque effect present in dslr or in simple words background becomes blur so the foreground stands out clearer.

well in a sense with manual mode yeah because you can select what you want in focus
No, the V20 does not have that. The V20 is quite the exact opposite of the iPhone. The iPhone is for people who can't or won't figure things out for themselves. The V20 is for those who know and want to do things themselves and have more control. You can use the Google Camera app and use its blur mode if you want though.

I don't think google camera app uses dual camera setup,that can be intalled to any phone and doesn't provide good bg blur effect.
Still thanks for reply.
Tell me if there is any other option in Manual mode etc
There are at least 5 camera apps I can think of that allows this... However, I am not going to publicly promote a product or service that if obtained through proper stores,costs money. So... Sorry about that. I searched for aDSLR solution for some time. The main issue I was coming across was most replacement alps made it look like someone ate some potato chips, then touched all over the camera(s) lens(es) with said hands without properly wiping them all over their roommates couch.
Come to think of it.... I was eating some hamburger flavored chips.......hmmm

Both the Google camera app and the iPhone are going to do the same thing, which is use software trickery to blur the background by using information based on changes of depth. iPhone does this using two cameras and the Google app uses one and just has you "pan" the camera up and does some nifty calculations. As for installing it on any phone, you're in the V20 section asking about what to use on a V20. Someone ported it to the V20 and I've been using it for when I want auto photos since then just as well as I would on my Nexus devices. So I don't understand your point. The Google app actually does a decent job for software based trickery.
As for any other options in manual mode, that's not the point of manual mode. Manual mode is for those who want full control over their images. This means you are in charge of pre and post production. Want a specific type of light? Then find and/or set up that type of light. Want background blur? You will have to know what it takes to get blur out of this sensor size and be able to set that situation up. Like I said before, the V20 is not a dummy mode phone.
Ultimately though, if you want to get bokeh all the time all day long, you need at least a full frame DSLR and a very large aperture lens attached to it. Even dedicated cameras with fast lenses with sensors larger than anything in a phone run into issues creating bokeh in certain situations. Or, expand your photography horizons. If all you care about is bokeh, you need to be a bit more creative.
If you still aren't happy with any of the above, just get an iPhone. I hear they're great for when you don't want to have to do any thinking at all.

Other cameras

So there are there cameras on the ZenFone, how do we get direct access to the other two? One is for depth vision and the other motion tracking. Dowe know the resolution for them? Some news sites claimed 23 megapixels for all three but I think that was just shoddy reporting. Pretty sure at least the depth sensor is infrared, what about the motion tracking one? What are the capabilities of the it projector? Can we modulate it fast enough to use it as a super powered it blaster?
Been about ten years sense I did any Android app development work. Would the tango API expose all these features?

Hi SomeoneHuman,
Sorry not to be able to give you a proper answer but I'm actually facing the same questions. I'm looking for the same information. Can you tell me if you've found answers to your questions?
Thanks a lot for sharing them,
Buddha's Smile
