I'm colourblind and I have a bit of a problem working out good settings for the camera.
My main problem is that if I take a picture of something light, one of my pets for example (mainly white in colour) it shows the pet as glowing bright white against the normal coloured background - making the detail impossible to make out on the animal.
I've had a go at fiddling with the brightness and contrast but I can't really tell what effect each of them has so I have made no progress.
What settings do you all use on the camera? Is there a setup which should overcome my problem with things being overwhelmingly white?
I think the camera is just plain awful and I avoid using it as much as possible
Is it possible to change somehow the tint of luminescence display? Make it more warm or cold. Display in my SGS has a very cold shade, a lot of blue. I would like to add a little red to align white.
It's a characteristic of AMOLED screen. As you use it longer, the blue tint will start reducing.
Though that doesn't change the fact that the possibility to change or affect white point and/or gamma of the display would sometimes come quite handy. The color temperature of Galaxy's display is indeed quite high, yet it is so good picture-wise that this becomes an issue (ie. when viewing photos).
Just open any movie with the stock video player. Go to Settings and then Colour Tone. It will affect the whole system.you have 3 options warmer, normal and colder. Hope this will help

That's a great tip, thanks! Even though it's most likely just a bug
So you obviously can alter the display's color temperature system wide somehow. I wonder if this could be made into an app with customizable warmth settings... Too bad I'm not a programmer...
And speaking of the devil...

Menu - settings - 3ยบ option
It appears blank on my phone, but leads you to temperature settings
The screen has a blue reflection when off. I also tested it playing the same video on the phone and on my laptop (300 nits LED screen) and the video on the phone was defintely more green-blue.
This is more noticeable on low brightness setting, try it on Kindle app, test settings, you have a slider for brightness. You'll see how low brightness leads to a blue-green tint, not neutral gray.
if some one could could develop an app for the sgs that does this i would pay.
settings menu is only available if you start the videoplayer app and select a video to play within.
if you start a video from the gallery, there is no option

Is the galaxy s i9000 different in this respect from the samsung vibrant. My vibrant does allow me to adjust color tone in the video player, but IT DOES NOT change the color tone of the WHOLE SYSTEM. Once I exit out of the player, everything is back to blue. Also the warm tone in the video player looks fake, just applies red on top of the blue, looks weird.
Hi,
right out of the box the camera didn't process light correctly: see attachment.
I read about the wifi camera issues, but i haven't been using wifi, and the discoloration is more than awful. This is supposed to be a sunset in the background.
Any suggestions/ideas?
Thanks in advance!
OOB the camera app sucks! I changed to another and never looked back. I also found that, depending on which photo viewer I used, I would see lines. Try another app and different settings.
I finally managed to spend some time with the DNG files from my LG G4. In other threads and forums I've read that you can't push shadows from the G4's RAW up quite much. Well, being an experienced professional I managed to do it and decided to write this thread. I hope you find it useful.
Below are screenshots of Adobe Camera RAW's window, so you can see the settings for the photo I used. It was really dark when I took this photo and I already knew I will have very dark shadows. I didn't wanted to go beyond ISO 100 and couldn't make it with slower then half a second shutter speed. In the screenshots you can see what it looked like before editing. The settings apply to Lightroom too.
What you would normally do to the shadows in your photos is to push up the "Shadows" setting. In the case of G4 this proves to be not enough. You have to push the "Blacks" setting too. This will light up the shadows enough. I added some push up in the "Curves" too, as I needed more detail in the midtones too. All this brings us to two new problems - noise and purple/magenta tinting. To fix the tinting is easy - go to HSL tab and lower the saturation of Purple and Magenta. Noise, on the other hand, can be tricky. You can see my settings below. You will need all the color NR you can get and the leftover chroma noise will be cleared with combination of "Luminance" and "Luminance detail" - first one will soften the chroma, the second will refine the artifacts of the chroma. Some sharpening will compensate the softening from the chroma reduction.
The 100% crop screenshots are from the upper left corner and will give you a better idea of what is happening. One is before editing, the other is after. I hope all of this is useful to you, my friends!

My color photos are terrible. Horrible.
But, my black and white are fine. If I zoom in to 8x black and white has details. Color no.
In the past color photos were ok.
I have installed and deleted several different gcam apks
Strange to me that it is just the color.
Any ideas?
Don't feel like wiping the phone just yet.

Two different sensors, one colour, one b&w. Looks like your colour one might be broken.
That looks like a focus issue to me. Use a stable mount for the phone and select the same focus spot.
For color I use GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V7beta-test-9.apk. Get it here if you want to try

Looks like a lot going on with the color image sensor. Make sure both rear cameras and the circle for the flash are not covered and clean. The focus problem could be because laser focus assist beam is blocked or not working. This is hidden in the black space by the flash. The rest may correct itself when you can focus properly.
Also make sure the camera app and OS is up to date.
