Camera Raw processing and settings - Verizon HTC One (M9)

Apparently I am the only person that has never used raw lol, I am having a hard time finding basic instructions on how to process Raw photos. I am not a photographer and most of my previous phones have shot great pics. Good enough for me anyway. I am not having any luck with this camera on the newest firmware and was hoping someone could help me with some basic settings suggestions for standard camera and a quicky tutorial on how to use Raw? Just for basic use not for pro photography I am not too picky. I can learn more after I learn the basics but any info or links would be appreciated.

We needed the same thing last week. The company that built the software (IAstyle, http://www.iastyle.com) got bought by HTC recently, and it doesn't look like they'll be selling much any time soon.
and one would resell or offer this api? it will help a lot the comunity

Uhh I NEED THAT too
If anybody sdk or any clue how internaly camera comunicates... (does it use direct show system?)
LET ME KNOW pls!
I will try to use classic trick by capturing screen buffer while picture soft is running...
then my soft will put it to jpg remove jpg header and in sequence it will send it to my video stream server which then distributs it on broadband computer to more users which they will see something like this http://spaced.no-ip.com
however camera has 1 bug its picking up GSM-GPRS signal induction lines... anyway there is always way around it.[/quote]
i need the camera specification, to caputure images using my application. But there's no way for achieving this information.
please, if someone have the idea or where i can ask for....

do you think that these drivers will work on an xda2?

Evo front-facing camera only does mirror images

The HTC Evo front-facing camera will not take an image in standard left-right format. I can see the argument for providing a mirror image to the display when setting up a picture (self-portraits), but the result (the actual picture) should not be mirrored.
If using Skype through Fring to video chat (which is really cool, BTW if just a little choppy) the video feed I'm providing to the other party is again mirrored.
It's clear there is a deliberate manipulation of the images going on here, but I can't make out why they would do that. Is there some fix, upgrade, or setting that will clear the problem?
I have not yet rooted my phone, and honestly I'm new to Android (much more familiar with security unlocking and re-flashing WinMo phones up to this point) so I might need the less-than-expert explanation if that's what's needed. ;-)
Thanks!

I remember a few people talking about this right after google i/o, I think they found a way to fix it, ill look around a bit to try to find the thread. It could be a setting in the camera settings also..

Looked around, but couldn't find a solution, but a few people think its a software issue, and has to do with qik and fring. Im not sure though.
nvm, i was wrong

[Q] Hardware access?

I am an absolute beginner in C# coding and i would like to create a simple flashlight application, i know some basic C# coding but i was just wondering how i would go about gaining access to the hardware, like the flashlight, does anyone know of a link, webpage, instructional video etc. where i could find this information? all help is greatly appreciated.
again i do have some experience in coding, ive made a veryyyyyyyy simple app i would just like to expand on it.
Have you checked out the code samples on msdn yet? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff431744(v=vs.92).aspx, the second sample in camera deals with using the hardware like the camera itself, flash etc in your applications. There's also a section that gives code examples for sensors and what not as well as tons of other useful info on that site. Hope it helps. Ohh, and welcome to xda.

Trying to modify Camera.so to bring back some 1.2 functionality

Been a lot of complaints on other forums about the crippled camera app in bada 2.0 and I'd like to restore some of the fuctionality from 1.2. Perhaps it's not actually possible as all I have seen is the KK5 app brought back to enable front camera, and no 1.2 app for bada 2.0 to restore some of the other missing functions like pause in video recording or editing options. So if this is waste of time please let me know, but I though the main problem was passing the sequrity check which has now been solved thanks to kubika. SO if possible this is the precise scope of the project:
It's not just the ability to pause a video recording, or edit anything after, there's a lot of other stuff too...
NO Image Quality selection
NO countinous/sequance shoot mode
NO sharpness, saruration, contrast adjustment... but still have auto contrast check box... as oppesed to what?!?!?
NO thumbnail or info view for picture when reviewing from cammera app
NO edit fuction for anything from anywhere as already mentioned... though admittedly if I really want to edit a pic I'll probably do it on my PC anyway.
Although a noob at this I do have some expeciance with PC's, and my understanding is that bada apps are in C++ so if one can decompile and recompile the camera app. Then ALL missing functions, with possible exception of editing that probably calls on seperate app, should be easily recoverable in the bada 2.0 camera app. I've actually checked the samsung developer website, and it gives guidelines on how to implemnet many of these functions if whishing to create your own app, so the code should be easy to reinsert even for me in their own app. The one problem may be creating/inserting buttons/tiles for the menus if not already available but simply uncalled, which I hope is actually the case since one can easily recover the record call button.
The main issue is I don't know how to decompile the two apps to read and compare the code, and then recompile them, so could someone please point me to the appropriate program(s) with hopefuly some instructions on how to use them. I think this is something that may be appreciated by many since we can now more easily upload modified apps, and is a relatively simple mod for a noob to atempt... so if anyone can offer some help with that to get me started, it's a project I'd be looking to take up .
innovative ..
liked your idea.
+1
to keep it simple, you can't 'decompile' a binary code to a c++ code, the compiling process is a one-way procedure..

Recommended Camera Settings

I came from the Rezound and recall that there were a couple of posts in its forums from people more knowledgeable than I about their recommendations for optimal camera settings. Things like exposure, contrast, etc., whatever would result in better pictures than the defaults.
I would like to formally request that anybody who has such knowledge get it written down here for all to share. Thanks in advance for anybody who has the time to do so!
