NiCkAM8PRO V6.5 Custom Profiles for B.S.G - Changelog & Advice:
First Attempt to UNIFY my previous 3 Custom Profiles into One!
For Night Shots & Astro-Photography, it is recommended to slightly LOWER exposure!
Optimized White Balance and Noise Profiles for our OnePlus 8 Pro, for all lenses.
RamPatcher areas have been carefully set for natural results, yet slightly enhanced saturation/contrasts/details. However, Sharpness was slightly lowered on Main Back lens, to avoid over-sharpening, but it still provides plenty of details!
Face Retouch (Level-1) and Face Detect is ONLY set 'ON' for Main Back & Front. However, UW & Zoom lenses have Focus Tracking activated!
Astrophotography works fine, just remember to set a Timer in order to avoid blurry pics!
Front camera settings are set for natural colors (i.e: with saturation kept at reasonable levels), still with some details. However, keep in mind that any GCAM app will take pictures at 4MP only (instead of 16MP with stock app) when using the Front Lens of our OP8 Pro (a limitation that cannot be currently overcome).
Exposure was willingly kept at reasonable levels, which allows for truer, more realistic pictures, closer to what you really see, and maintains more details in the pictures at the same time (less blown-out zones). If that's not your preference, simply adjust Exposure Compensation in the Settings > Modules, or in post-processing.
Developer settings are carefully selected, to offer as many functions as possible for our device, with some good stability.
AWB is automatically turned ON when using 'Night' profile. If using any other profile in dark / night situation, or under some artificial lights, just remember to set Auto White-Balance 'ON' to avoid unpleasant results.
Social Share functions are activated on all profiles, for easy file sharing, as well as being a useful indicator for when your pictures have been fully processed by the app. Let the app finish its processing work before switching to another lens!
In some situation (i.e under some harsh lighting conditions), it is advised to manually set your point of focus, as well as your exposure, using the dedicated slider.
Night Mode will always provide you with a longer exposure time, which will result in some higher-quality shots (and some longer processing as well). Use this mode whenever you need HQ results (for indoor/low-light/night shots), but remember to be steady!
This custom profiles pack is a result of countless hours of work, so please, do not share it anywhere else without permission, and even more importantly, give credit to its creator. Thank you, and have fun with it!
