Hello, Community

I want to raise a concern about the so-called professional software Expert RAW.

I just downloaded OpenCamera to try to compare it with Expert RAW. Comparison result I have found ridiculous. Why my dng photos from Samsung app is so processed? If I install something, which has 'expert' in the name - I assume to receive not touched data. I am one, who is responsible for processing in this case. To express this, I have made picture with the same parameters and the same camera module with OpenCamera and Expert RAW

You can see how Samsung software washes it and tries to apply noise reduction. I don't either need it or ask for that. A lossless setting does not help either.

I'm not asking to invent super AI to make everything look gorgeous. I ask to have an option, where your software is not touching what is coming from the sensor.

I hope I will be heard.

Totally second this.
If the whole deal with expert photos is that you have full control over the outcome, then you should have full control over the outcome.

How I'd love to see Samsung do this is add a setting with 3 radio buttons being

:radio_button: Save only the RAW photo
:white_circle:ļø Save both the RAW photo and a RAW photo with engagement
:white_circle:ļø Save only the RAW photo with AI digital enhancements
