Was a little bit excited when saw the news that we could shoot in RAW format on our N900. So did a wee bit test 2day, however, the results are so under expected.

I installed all the three apps, FCamera, Lowlight and HDRcapture. The FCamera shoots in DNG format, but when I preview the results in PS CS4 on my Mac, OMG, even much worse than the pictures taken by the default camera application. As I've got a really nice weather condition (good light condition) 2day in Glasgow, the results I tested is not accepted if Nokia calls this is 'something amazing'. All the pictures I took were in a very strange 'green' color, tried to modify them through Lightroom or CameraRaw on my Mac, it didn't help much to change the result.

I have to say, I love my N900, but the camera function is far behind my new iPhone4. iPhone4's camera result is amazing. So I used to think FCamera is the one that I can use to fight back, well, so far, it looks that I was wrong. Or maybe I missed sth about DNG format? Any pre-setup needs to be done before bringing them into PS or LR?

I'll upload some sample results I've taken 2day for you guys to have a look at

Cheers

ericube,

We had a bug get into our DNG writing code at the last minute, which corrupted some of the information needed for proper color processing.

We've fixed the issue in the latest FCamera release, which was just promoted to extras-testing. It fixes a few other bugs the community has found so far, for which we're grateful.

Please let us know if the problem isn't fixed in FCamera 0.1.3!

I had this issue also, I found some old dng's and they were tinted. As I just took a picture and tested it, it was perfect. I have the latest (as of today) FCamera.
