Try normal (non-macro) shots. You will quickly discover that whatever magic is applied, you cannot improve on the shitty optics and sensor.
But shitty by what standard? I mean.. Schneider glass or a Phase One back, then sure.. it's a huge piece of noisy blurry ****.
But I've not encountered better optics on a cellphone ever, and the sensor performs very well for one of its size, IMO. With a bit of care, the N900 can produce some very fine photos indeed.

I don't know if this is a bad question to ask, but when will this support the Titan Kernel? Looking forward to using RAW! :-)

it is only how optics function. a bit like motorbike accelerates faster than a lorry.

I'm finding my images are coming out excessively grainy. I'm not saying there's anything wrong with fCamera or the API, it's more than likely the way I'm using it. Not done any serious tinkering with photography for years.
The potential for close ups is phenomenal, as these two images show:
Image with N900 default cam.
Image with fCamera.
Both images were taken at a distance of around 5cm from the subject.
Anyone have any ideas?

I have tried to open the dng images with some linux applications from ubuntu repositories.
Ufraw crashes on any dmg.
Rawstudio shows a blurred, red image of something and can't convert it in anything useful with any button or control.
Can you suggest me the right tool? Thanks
EDIT: no image tool on ubuntu repos could open those files. Neither gimp, which outputs some interesting messages:
/home/debernardis/Immagini/photo2010.06.24_15.00.19.10.dng: Can not read TIFF directory count
/home/debernardis/Immagini/photo2010.06.24_15.00.19.10.dng: Failed to read directory at offset 0
before stating that the rawphoto plugin can't open the image.

Strange - ufraw/cdraw has DNG support...
FCam is fantastic otherwise - at last I get decent exposures (default camera app turns up gain needlessly)
with jpeg the unneeded colour data from wb settings is discarded and headroom too.
