Stock SM-G950W
I took some photos tonight with the Samsung Camera app in Pro mode. I have it set to Raw copies in settings (this produces DNG + JPG).
The Trash option is enable in Gallery.
I also have Google Photos installed on the device, so everything was uploaded.
I saw the .DNG raw files after I took the photos. I can confirm both JPG and DNG were produced.
DNG photo files include a small embedded JPG. On the free tier of Google Photos, it only uploads the embedded preview of the raw DNG file which is actually a small JPG.... stupid but whatever. Went into Google Photos after I took photos tonight and manually deleted the uploaded .DNG files because they're essentially oversized thumbnails in Google Photo.
I cannot find the original DNG files ANYWHERE on the device. I didn't delete them but they're gone. I can confirm they were taken because the thumbnail size JPG files uploaded to Google so I'm not making it up but I can't for the life of me find the full size raw files I shot. Any thoughts? Help?

I was puzzled as to why my thumbnail pics in touchflo3D tab were lo-res even though i resized all my pics to 800x480.
However I discovered if you have Resco Photo Viewer installed on your phone, your answers will be solved.
What I did was opened each photo that is currently displayed in my Favourite Album, in Resco Photo Viewer. I tweaked the brightness, colour, contrast to my liking (using the editing feature) and saved over (overwrite) the original photo and lo and behold, it turned instantly hi res in my touchflo3D photos tab.
I did this individually for all of my photos (55). Long one off process but worth it.
Also another tip. The photos are sorted in the touchflo3D tab by modification date so if there are particular photos you want to show first, modify them last. I figured out the order I wanted my photos to be in first and then modified them in the order of last photo to first photo.
This may work with some other ppc app that allows you to modify and resave photos, not just Resco Photo Viewer. Not tried others though.
Finally did you know the tab can also display thumbnails of your videos? Just make sure you have your video files in the same folder as your Favourite Album.
i have taken some photos on my HD2, with the default setting of storage card in the camera app, but i cant find the photos in file explorer.
does anyone know the folder as i need to upload them to my pc
on mine it's storagecard/DCIM/100Media (DCIM is a standard name for many cameras and phones, it means digital camera images)
Hi,
I have taken a few photo sphere pictures, when viewed on the phone they work fine. I have two questions about them though.
I wanted to edit one which according to this should be possible. I tried in both photoshop and gimp but when putting the photo back onto the phone the photo sphere option did not appear. The only change to the file name was to put 'edit' at the end. How can I edit the pictures on my computer and still view them as a photo sphere?
Also, when I upload my photo sphere to my google+ album, it uploads a 338kb version when the original is 1.7mb. As a result, the quality is pretty poor. I have seen others online that were over 1mb and good quality. Why is it compressing mine so much?
Thanks for any help
anyone?
Hi All,
I'm struggling to find my .DNG files when I'm using Lightroom Mobile. I use the standard camera app to take the photos, and I know that the raw files are store in the phone's internal storage, but when i hit "add photos" in Lightroom, the only photos I see are jpegs from my SD card. Is there a browse function somewhere that I'm overlooking? Lightroom does have permissions to access storage as well.
So I found that moving the .DNG file from my internal storage to my SD card's camera folder allows Lightroom to detect the file, but does everyone else have to do this?
Why are there no exif data in raw Fotos? In jpg there are exif data.

There is. What are you using to process the raw files?

Ptgui for stitching photospheres.
But also in the photo gallery the settings are not shown.

Never used Ptugi before so I can't comment on that. I assume that it can process raw files. The gallery won't show because it can't display raw file data, it's simply showing the imbedded jpg thumbnail from the raw file and that little imbedded jog does not have the extra data, it's in the main part of the raw file.
If you pull the raw file into something like LR or PS, etc., you'll see that data.

Just read the FAQ on ptgui and it's suggested to use a 3rd party raw converter (like LR or PS) and export tg the processed image as a 16 bit tiff file.
OK with an exif viewer I can see the data but it's less information then in the jpg. So I have to collect the data from the jpg and transfer it to the jpg...
