Since some time I’ve searched photos related apps, to edit and take pictures but I’ve not found anything interesting in open source… Does someone has an explaination?
Does someone has an explanation?
companies that have the most money and resources to improve image processing don’t want to disclose their findings in order to keep their advantage over the competition.
I recently discovered Image Toolbox, it has the best editing capabilities of any FOSS Android app I’ve seen so far. That being said, if developing RAWs is something you need as well, I don’t think there exists anything besides Google’s Snapseed and Lightroom mobile.
As for taking pictures, I quite enjoy OpenCamera, but there’s not much else than that.
Image Toolbox + Aves Libre is my current setup.
I known this app but it’s not really complete, yes it has some really great features but lacks some features like light… And OpenCamera is good but not great
As far as I know, it’s all we have right now
Samsung have Expert RAW for their (high end?) phones. That’s probably Samsung only though.
it’s closed source.
Thought so. That was my point.
Darktable is pretty powerful, though it’s not as easy to use as Lightroom
It’s the same UX. Not sure how one would be less easy to use than the other just for different nomenclature & things being in slightly different locations.
Well, that’s always the case when switching to a new piece of software
GrapheneOS has a camera app called “secure camera”. It’s avaliable through Aurora store. It’s not feature packed but does take a decent shot.
Even they would tell you that using sandboxed google play and the g cam app is a better experience if your looking for more then just snapping a photo on your phone though. As obnoxious as they can be on mastodon they are pretty honest with the limitations of their apps due to it not being as high of a priority.
