I have been experimenting raw (dng) with various camera apps (e.g., Lightroom, open camera, Procam, Firstlight).

What I observe:

1) there is a significant difference in file size between the native Pixel app and the others. The others are 23, 847 KB while the Pixel is 13,626 KB,

2) the Pixel dng shows a thumbnail image (like a jpg file) in its folder while the others just the dng logo (which for me is typical DNG either out of camera or converted from a raw file with Adobe DNG converter., and

3) in Camera Raw I can adjust the Pixel image in terms of adobe color (e.g., adobe landscape), for the others not so and it is like bringing in a jpg via bridge into Camera Raw and have choices of color and black and white.

edit 4) also the Pixel image is more zoomed in. They all are using the same lens as only the Pixel can switch to the others now. An Android issue I have been tole.

All of this makes me wonder what is going into the DNG files and if they are truly Raw.

Anyone have some ideas on this?
