Unlike you I see here photo vs painting. I do not know how OOC from Leica looks like but  between the two you posted there is hardly any comparison. Just enlarge on monitor and compare side by side.

Yep

Impression aside - just commenting on first sample. I used original 12MPix from your link and then 108 MPix downsampled to match the 12 MPix. It is just one image so it is hard to make any ...

Yes that is a matter of decision. However if std JPG is aimed to normal consumer the RAW is not - it requires some skills how to make it look good. Honestly I do not know if that "normal consumer ...

Yes you can do that, however the output quality will suffer as direct 108MPix output is questionable. Cropping it you will just cut-off unwanted areas. But yes it is possible.

That is probably correct - then - even more so - the manufacturer should have done it properly for its own sensor or at least give us a proper DNG which can be further processed with general ...

To proces not to expose. That time running on the display is processing time. Man can shot and put the phone in a pocket. The result is the same. Nevertheless getting rid of QB artifacts is quite ...

It hurts I understand, however - you hardly ever use the cam up to that resolution. And once camera (or you) makes /2size  output the effect will practically disappear.

Agree + on top of that they need to down-sample to 50% of size and then they look good. IMHO there are too many not-so-nice artifacts&and watercolor-like areas at full size.

Well with typical phone processing even those 8bits are frequently overkill. Maybe RAW - but do you process RAW?

I tend to agree - 12,5 MPix Huawei 40 series has just marginally less detail than 50 MPix NoAi shot. 50MP AI however is in another league - but that you certainly know. Nevertheless HUA M40P ...

Some phones have those extra aspect ratios - however they are mostly just crops from native aspect ratio - which is 4:3. Which means that "so so resolution"  around 12MPix it diminishes even more. ...

Yes it seems like cropped and enlarged to full size.

Excellent - I love drops on glass, surface, leafs etc - with processing to BW (not only). Having a phone all the time with me is a blessing.

Good to see you back. This particularly was done in ON1, but PS will do as well or anything like it. Masking is a key and when software has some kind of object recognizing (no need to be super ...

Hi - so how the camera(s) work (If I remember well you were talking about trip to ECU)? Primarily XIA? Or anything else? If you wouldn´t mind - I dare not to be unnecessarily positive - rather  ...

Thanks for watching. Topaz Sharpen 3.2.2, OutOfFocus mode/Very blurry/RB=55, SN=65. Sharpened and tweaked just for eyes, nothing else interested me. Than I masked everything but eyes revealing the ...

My take - Topaz OOF sharpening - only eyes, tweaked to get rid the line under her right pupil. Skin texture and microcontrast left as is. Comparison with original (bottom)

LOL - this funny talking all the time about inferiority of  RYYB. You do not miss a chance to spit on it. Well - just for FYI - it is great.

Well you can do 5-6 shots in a fragment of a second and combine them into one. This make wonders with DSLR  just.... one must stack them , align them and mask them in Photoshop or the like. And ...
