Nice ingredients, make a good sauce.  I never tried Vignette double-exposure, imagine it combines the filtered images which can be dramatically modified.  But no idea how it combines them, e.g. if ...

Although I never used Vignette's double exposure, I know it has the option to save the original jpeg, and my guess is the format of blended output will very configurable. As above, I don't have it ...

Straight from the phone, and the app combines the exposures - doesn't save the originals. There are six multiple-exposure options: Simple, Alpha, Background, Collage, Brightness, Darkness. This is ...

I see a very arty David Salle streak, worth pursuing.  I couldn't help giving the ZTE fun mode a try - actually there are six alternatives, but really reduced jpeg size for social media:

(Full disclosure, never returned a non-defective product.)  Reading the (true) criticism that returns by cynical abusers raise costs for retailers and manufacturers, I'd wonder a) what percentage ...

If the project is to get the kid seriously into photography rather Facebook, I think you're selling older model compacts short: https://www.amazon.com/Canon-PowerShot-S95-Stabilized-3-0-Inch/dp/B00 ...

You might look at Vignette, which I think does double-exposures, inter alia: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.neilandtheresa.NewVignette Most of its (almost too many) tricks are ...

I've had Win 7 fail to recognize a direct camera to PC connection. Can be an off and on thing, fixable with a Device Manager reboot, refreshing defective content.  (One of several Windows problems ...

The expert seems dubious about camera evolution. It's early days, but I've long thought smartphones as dockable brains or GUI for more capable hardware than the little slab has a lot of potential, ...

At the time, the telephoto on SX10/20 was stunning, and still plenty for me even though the SX line's gone way past that. If I were replacing it, I think I'd get a Panasonic FZ200 or 300 with ...

If the S5 is little used and $30 it's hard to go wrong - batteries obviously no issue. The one other caution is if you want to mount filters, for me a CPL is must-have, finding one of the ...

I never owned the S2, replaced an A80 with the S5IS, and joined the very lively (now defunct) user forum, which lasted through the SX10 - which I bought - and closed when SX20 came out. You may ...

Sensor dust tends to be small, the size of smudge points to lens surface. Below was from my little Ixus a few years ago, in that case able to clean off the lens: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/pos ...

Interesting thread, as we just got a first ever iPhone in the family and have been poking around best ways to use it. The Halide app write-up is a bit chatty but makes sense overall, especially ...

Thanks again, I was starting to get that on a second look. File transfer speed compared with a hardware connected drive would be the question, I'll do a bit more digging. Looks like battery charge ...

Thanks for the interesting suggestion, appears to be well regarded at B&H and Amazon. For this iPhone good wifi won't often be available, so we've been looking at the Sandisk above and some ...

No expertise here, but while there are image quality reasons to question using 20mpx sensors in phones, the one thing you should get is improved digital zooming while retaining decent resolution ...

It's about the same size as the little LG, my first smartphone, I used very happily from around 2012 to 2016, when I got a 5" ZTE. In the interim, stunned by its functionality and finding myself ...

Thanks, pretty much the end of this inquiry. We'll see how jammed the phone gets in actual use and decide about the Sandisk thumb drive to offload storage on the fly.
