A few more pics from today in various light conditions.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] km24:
Fantastic pictures.... i can't wait to try mine , i only have my p20 pro for 1 week and i haven't found the opportunity to take some good shots.

And when i see pictures like these I lose the feeling to trade my only one week phone to s9 plus... (cause i used to have galaxy phones and i feel like the photos from s9 plus would be better)

The sky is actually nearly black to the eye, thought that was pretty special that the phone caught more like than my eye could..

Great camera.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] koi8ru:
Thanks for your comment. I upgraded to P20 Pro from a Galaxy phone, too. My S6 had a very capable 16MP camera with excellent manual focus in pro mode. And, like you, for the first week or so whenever I took a picture with P20s stock camera, I couldn't help thinking that my old trusty Samsung would have done a better job. That was, until I compared the pictures from both phones side-by-side. It turned out that a poorly taken picture (wrong framing, out of focus, against direct sunlight etc.) looked equally bad on both phones, but in a good picture P20 Pro offered far superior clarity and natural colours which cannot be achieved with a Galaxy series phone due to Samsung's love affair with green and yellow colour cast in all HDR images. The only annoyance is that in its current state the P20 Pro's stock camera is not suitable for macro photography as it seems that the camera generates a preview from one lens but takes the picture with another, resulting in noticeably blurry close-up shots nearly every time. Luckily, third party camera apps don't have this issue. So I mostly use the ported google camera during the day and only switch back to the stock camera to take some occasional long-exposure shots in very low light conditions.

Been a while since I posted on here.

Had a play about with the camera. The double rainbow picture was taken at dawn and the sky was pink/purple. It was astonishing.

None of the pictures have been manipulated, they are as they were taken on my phone using a mixture of modes: pro, apparture, b/w and normal with AI turned off.

I'm a hobby photographer and some photos are used for some of my web projects.

A few new shots from last night with the P20 Pro, all shot in RAW and processed to get the look and feel i want.

/ Magnus
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Mohankarthick:
Awesome pics. I believe the light trails are due to dust in camera. I tried taking photos after wiping the camera with a clean cloth and the photos came without light trails.

Coming to my question, Can you please suggest any good RAW editing application and any general guidelines?
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Magnus3D:
Those are flares from the lightsources, they always show up when you do a long exposure or a Night Mode photo. My lenses were clean, i made sure to check them before i took my shots last night. My suspicion is that this is caused by uncoated glass elements in the lens assembly and/or the uncoated lens protection glass. It's very unlikely to be dust since this is a closed system, it's very hard for any dust to get into it and if so it would show up on more than long exposures or Night mode photos.

RAW editing can you do either on the phone or on a computer, i prefer the computer but if you want to do it on your phone then you can use Lightroom Mobile (subscribe to it, it's cheap) or Photo Mate. But i recommend editing on a computer so you can see what you're doing. I'm using a bundle of applications on my computer for editing since i'm a photographer, but some of the most common are Lightroom, Capture One Pro, RawTherapee to name a few.

About guidelines, i suggest you look up raw editing on Youtube and also all the written tutorials online. There's plenty out there and much of it is free. Even if those tutorials use other cameras the whole workflow is the same during editing. Study those and learn the basics and then some tips and tricks.

So do you get better results shooting night scenes with the 40MP sensor and manually editing them after. Can you shoot 40MP RAW?

I've just ordered my P20 Pro and it should turn up tomorrow.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Magnus3D:
Yes, RAW is only supported in the 40mpix mode. And if you know how to process raw files you will get better results than if you shoot jpeg as the device applies quite strong noise reduction and sharpening. RAW will allow you to extract more detail and utilize the bigger dynamic range which is only a positive thing. :)

kasuma_asuma: Thank you very much! i'm mostly using Lightroom to process these, but sometimes also Capture One Pro. It depends a bit on the type of shot i work with and what sort of processing i want to do. But i'm not using any specific rom except the standard from Huawei. What i am doing is to make sure i always (if possible) shoot RAW to avoid Huawei's software processing.

Here's a new one from last night, this is a sort of experimental shot where i stacked multiple raw files into one. This to reduce sensor noise and to improve the dynamic range. It's kinda tricky to do as it's a multi-step process in the editing but the results makes it all worth it. :)

As a side note, I brought my SLR with me but ended up taking 90% of my photos with the phone. Sure you can argue that the SLR takes better photos, but phones are getting to the point where their ease, portability and quaility are becoming increasingly acceptable. I took pictures in all types of weather and it held up like a champ.

[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] eldr1ck:
The only thing I didn't do was set a timer.

However the ISO was set to 1600 as per some advice given on here and by someone who used the same phone to take pictures in a much less lit up area. Always use 20 seconds plus for the exposure.

I find it to be hit and miss. Spot metering helps too..
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] sniper20:
With out moon use up to 1600 iso. With moon present, use up to 400 iso. Adjust accordingly for the exposure time interval.

Yes. Some of the best shots I ever took don't hold up very well when zoomed in, but as a whole they are incredible (to me), and I'm not talking about the P20 Pro here, but just about any camera I ever used. Noisy and blown out doesn't mean crap when the end result is jaw dropping. And then I've had quite a few shots that were perfect, no noise, great dynamic range, perfect colors, ideal pixel level quality, and yet, they suck.

A perfect picture doesn't make a perfect photography.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Prestef:
Do you take picture in 10 or 40 mpx? When do you use 10 or 40? It is still really not clear to me... On some forums it is suggested to take picture at 10 mpx, so why there is also the 40 mpx one? Thanks guys!
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] Robinottawa:
There have been ~40mp phones in the past that gave great results (Lumia 1020) and allowed "zooming" by cropping. My P20 Pro (CLT-104 stock Oreo) does not do this as well (pixel size? need a tripod?) but claims to use the 40mp tech with quad-bayer filter to get better 10mp photos.

I am mostly enamoured with the optical and hybrid zoom, myself, but I am disappointed that I cannot get a 40mp photo that is much better than the 10mp.

Some might also like being able to capture the max number of pixels for processing later.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] sniper20:
You can get excellent photos in 40mp in well lit environments. (lumia never got close to the 40mp of p20, even in daylight) and if my memory serves me well, there wasn't any other 40mp phone apart from these two. Anyway, after sunset, you can rely on your 10mp lense for fantastic photos with pixel binding tech. Also if you like the ke to crop your pics, you can do that in 40mp also. Just edit the photo with the built in tools.
[Huawei P20 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] dannyglover:
Recently bought p20 pro as I was sick of my s7 photos. They got mega compressed uploading to instagram too, which is weird. Anyway been playing around with the camera and the monochrome sensor. I'm a bit of a hobbyist photographer taking film and digi outdoors shots – stuff when I'm climbing, hiking, mountain biking. Currently liking monochrome or 40mp (shot in raw) and then tweaking a little to make black and white. Not sure how to embed from insta, but here's a shot at the crag.

Who is happy with the quality of the photos with the current firmware .161 C432? I'm personally totally disappointed with the quality of the photos what the camera produce with the current firmware! I'm not talking about Raw or Pro mode because is totally different. I'm talking about Photo mode, I want point and shoot without putting more effort to edit those photos. And the Night mode is horrible compared to previous firmware .152.

In this firmware lots of things not working as it should be: 4d predictive focus, Night Mode, Photo mode - over sharpened plus HDR = like a paint.
