Question Disabling post processing on stock Gcam possible?

[Soundwave857]

Im very disappointed by the post processing the stock Gcam forcefully adds to every picture taken and im wondering if its possible to disable that in some developer options. Mainly the extreme contrast and sharpening. Google also disabled the function to select a different photo app as default which sucks. I stumbled over sometthing called lib-Patcher for Gcam on Reddit but have no idea how to use it.
I hope someone can help me since that would be the only big negative i noticed on my Pixel 7 so far.

You can do JPEG + RAW to be able to edit the photo yourself.

Open the camera, bring down the menu in the top left corner. Tap more settings, tap advanced. You will see the toggle there.

Note that these photos will still be pixel binned to 12MP.

Yes i know that, but that again requires lots of colorgrading since the "raw" pictures are a grey .dng with some kind of log-profile. If i take the picture and go to the gallery asap i can see the original nice picture for about a second and then it get the extreme sharpening and contrast added. That is the step i dont like. It makes Green grass and leaves look very grey and ugly because it only adds contrast and sharpening to already green mushy blobs. Similar stuff on the Shadows. If its already dark it doesnt need contrast and sharpening.

Secure Camera - Apps on Google Play

Modern camera app focused on privacy and security with QR / barcode scanning.

play.google.com

No post processing.

However, some of the post processing is done at the HAL level. There's nothing you can do to disable that.

Thank you, I'll look at that camera app. Im only talking about the processing after taking the picture btw. I can see the picture changing in my gallery.

The pictures look very pleasing and without the post processing, very nice! But there is no manual mode or am i missing something? EV-compensation for control is fine but i would like to have a slider for whitebalance too, is this not a thing with this app?

White balance would be a post-processing enhancement, wouldn't it?
In any case, contributions (which could be code or feature requests) can be made at the project repository; https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Camera

The post post processing. I can see a very nice picture and then it gets changed AGAIN.

One way is to reduce sharpening and contrast in photos app or snapseed

Here's an idea, sell the pixel, get something else. Main point of Pixel is its photo processing.

How about NO? The main point of pixel is UNLOCKABLE and AOSP.

Un-install google photos and install Simple Gallery. Maybe that will help you overcome your post-processing problem ?

Its the camera application, not the gallery application.

Can you recommend one with 6-6,3", uncurved screen, stock android and a great camera system?

Xperia 5 IV? A lot better camera system, P7 has only one good camera, the main one. Xperia has 3. Pixel has better software for picture processing but that was your problem so maybe better of with other products

To your problem, can you download a gcam mod? Those have a ton of settings, HDR levels etc.
