A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Nonsense. There is a very clear difference between analyzing the contents of a photo for modification and literally just overlaying another image altogether.

Also my Pixel, and many other digital cameras, can shoot "raw" images.

The raw data a tiny phone sensor with tiny lenses captures is highly distorted, with strong chromatic aberration and diffraction effects. They only go away (to an extent) with large sensor cameras, and high end lenses.

If the "raw" images that Pixel produces have none of those distortions, then they aren't raw.
