Guest matanglawin Posted September 1, 2003 Report Share Posted September 1, 2003 Digital zoom is ugly. I beg to disagree. I saw an actual demo of how the "Photographer" application works...it surely does look pixelized in the preview screen during the shoot, but when you get to see the actual image, it's crisp and clear.

Guest awarner [MVP] Posted September 1, 2003 Report Share Posted September 1, 2003 Digital zoom is never a good thing as you will always sacrifice quality by the very nature of digital zooming without any optical help. So you may start off with 640x480 but arter zooming you will have say 240x320 etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest madu Posted September 15, 2003 Report Share Posted September 15, 2003 This is indeed pretty good for a digital zoom on a PHONE! Bring on the Photographer SPV Edition :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mores Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 well i'll be f**** :shock: i was a "photoshop it"-follower, so i took the first image and blew it up to 400% (which means 16x, i think) and it doesn't look as good. even sharpening it didn't help.zoom.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NederSoren Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 I dont see how this even can be possible? You're sure you didn't move the camera any closer in the close-ups? 'couse i can't see how digital-zoom could do bether that photoshop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest matanglawin Posted September 25, 2003 Report Share Posted September 25, 2003 I dont see how this even can be possible? You're sure you didn't move the camera Affirmative... No tricks here mate. I wouldn't even go out of my way to do such desperate act because I'm not trying to sell any product here. I'm just hoping that this application would be made available to SmartPhone users. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SpeedFreak Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 bring on the SPV version. I hope they get cracking on it soon ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest CFairhurst Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 The photoshop version probably looks worse as it's trying to expand an already compressed image which has already lost some fine detail, while the Photographer app is more than likely working directly on the uncompressed image.

Guest awarner [MVP] Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 Going by the size of each file it seems strange that the image is managing to keep the samesimilar resolution when zooming in :? Now I would like to know how that is achived with a fixed lens ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest spacemonkey Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 One question, when you took the photo's at like 16x zoom, did the photo take longer to take? like if you took a 1x photo while moving the camera and a 16x photo while moving the camera, does the 16x one have more motion blur/ look horrible? One thing their app may being doing is capturing several successive frames from the camera and feeding these into their zoom algorythms... Otherwise they've just got a very good expansion algorithm and the advantage of doing it off raw pixels rather than compressed images... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I would like to know how that is achived with a fixed lens ? Photoshop can do an equally good job when you have an uncompressed image to work with, eg. raw pixels. Its unfair to compare this with pshop since you are feeding pshop some crappy JPG whereas the app works with the raw output. Also, look more carefully - there is a fair bit of pixellation, although this app does seem to do a great job ;) Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TANKERx Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 My favourite function in Photographer is the Panoramic view mode. That would would be nice on an SPV also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest matanglawin Posted October 2, 2003 Report Share Posted October 2, 2003 My favourite function in Photographer is the Panoramic view mode. That would would be nice on an SPV also.I didn't get the chance to check that feature out...care to post an image of the "panoramic view" :?: :D One question, when you took the photo's at like 16x zoom, did the photo take longer to take? i would say it took longer for the mobilephone to process the (16x) image compared to the others (normal, 1x, 2x, etc)...and in the preview screen, it looked horribly pixelized (different from the actual image stored by the phone). ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
