With Android Lollipop Google began to pay more attention to the photographic potential of your system with the introduction of support for RAW images. This novelty allowed not only Nexus line of smartphones, but other manufacturers were able to take pictures without making the dreaded reality aggressive compression by JPEG. With larger files, more details were kept in the final picture, which results in a better quality overall. However, the Google camera that comes in the Nexus line does not provide an accurate control over such a choice.
According to the folks at Android Police, analyzing a new update released for the application, it was possible to that Google has been working on the possibility of allowing the software of your camera to be able to save photos in two separate files, one in JPEG and another in DNG (RAW). This would allow the user could choose the least to publish on social networks, while leaving the best quality to print or leave saved on your album in the cloud for future memories.
Another great advantage of having your photos in RAW would be to edit it in Adobe Lightroom, for example. While the JPEG ends up sacrificing detail how wide range of colors and correct exposure levels, the DNG format keeps all this information that can be manipulated by editing software to generate even better results. According to what was seen in the Google Camera code, the app will allow the user to choose to continue saving their pictures only in JPEG or also generate a sidecar file without compression.
To access the new feature would need to use the HDR + mode that was released by Google on the Nexus 5. Still in the experimental stage, you may not only save RAW images, as many gallery apps for Android are not supported in this format. However, many manufacturers already offer this kind of possibility, but it is interesting to see Google trying to improve its simple camera app that does not count as a manual mode to control more advance as seen in many top smartphone market line.
