Have uploaded the new version:

Working GCAM for S23 Ultra

Or where can i try and experiment some version? I haven't dealt with gcam in the last years, so I'm bit out dated EDIT: I RECOMMEND FOLLOWING THIS POST TO INSTALL PROPER GCAM Post in thread 'Working GCAM for S23 Ultra'...

Thanks a lot! Nice for the weekend

To all, make sure to pay attention to color accuracy on V52, lots of time and tests have been done. Hopefully it'll be good in most/all situations

For the most accuracy, do you recommend AWB enable or disabled? I'm talking about natural light shoots

Always disabled imo

Love this version!
v50 had some issue with noise reduction in low light

For which lense?

I'd say just use hdr++ and force a slower shutter speed like 0.5s or 1s (quick shortcut for it: long press the picture circle at bottom right) . Just don't forget to put shutter back to automatic after your night shots

Quick example:

Hdr+

Hdr++

Hdr++ forced to 0.5s exposure

Thanks a lot for your answer @PhilMorin

I meant the setting that produce the most "true to life" night or low light shot.

I think your last shot in HDR++ and 0.5 expo is really pleasant but maybe too much light comes to the sensor ?

Sorry for my bad English.

Yes, you have to adjust shutter speed based on surrounding light. My test was in a very dark room. @JavaSabr might have some suggestions. I don't shoot much in low light

Your config?

Java's (not yet released) xml for LMC 1x digitally zoomed to about 35mm to go against my Canon R6 35mm out of camera JPG. Funny or sad (I haven't decided), LMC is more color accurate! Of course in real life, I'd have used the raw from my r6... But still!

I am seeing meaningful issues with Java v50 in the shadows. They are bunched up and lacking detail. Is it just me? First image is Java v50, second my own AGC config which is 100% stock settings except for slight reduction in edge sharpen and white levels. The place where the shadows issue is most visible is the head of the figurine which has very little structure in the LMC image. Thoughts?

The only one that works out of the box is AGC. With everything else you need to at minimum configure the lens IDs.

I'm not 100% sure what you're referring to? Comparing but I feel Java's version has better details but a tad less contrast I think? With all the changes done between v50 and V52 though, I'd try the test again with V52. Have you also tried comparing the non sharp vs sharp version?

Look at the ear - the color and texture is almost completely missing. Same for the hair. It is not contract that is missing but color detail.

BTW, what software was the comparison image created with.

Missing clarity maybe? What about this compare with added clarity on lmc?

Because from a details perspective I still find the hair with lmc to be better

not sure what you mean, the images are practically identical in detail and color, AGC is just brighter and sharper, if you adjust the LMC it has the same amount of detail.

I don't see these artifacts in the original on my phone, or on the slightly compressed jpgs I posted even at the max zoom available in Google Photos. The above seem to be beyond the max zoom and may be some type of an interpolation issue. Frankly I don't care what artifacts exist at 400%.

I usually don't zoom that far but really trying to see what you see so I guess I'm sorry but I can't really help as I can't figure out what your issue is! Lmc looks better to my eye

BTW the app is on the phone, called photo compare. Neat little tool

Not a question of brightness - I took images with the LMC expo correction which nominally does 1.4 stop EV increase and the issue is still there. Probably just a matter of personal preference.

Try with V52 he did some tweaking in the light and shadow section. Maybe it'll make it look better to your eyes. And V52 is a lot more color accurate
