+1

 

Bas.P , via OnePlus 8 Pro Ultramarine Blue , Jul 13, 2020 :

Huuh where to find?

I don't give two rats-a$$ about it... they should try to get that camera to do something more useful.

Being an old timer professional photographer. their implementation of this IR film/effect isn't even close to the real thing. completely pointless.

Careful now you will upset the children [e]1f602[/e]. I totally agree with you, a pointless gimmick that looks nothing like it should yet this lot seem to think it is the best thing out there.

You might have an opinion or referense of how a photochrom should look? The best info I have found is the Wikipedia article about photochrom. I can only assume that the filter photochrom is inteended to look like a colorised black and white.
Depending on brightness it's pretty far away from that definition though. If the intension is to look colorised why wash some colors out completely in bright sun light.

These are photochrom pictures, what OP have produced is not Photchrom.

I am an engineer who works with infrared lights all the time for industrial automation work. Part of the reason I bought the phone was to have a pocket infrared camera. This change is really disappointing to me, and it's frustrating that my phone now is now less useful than when I bought it. I don't want to "settle" for less functionality.

what OnePlus have produced is PhotoCrap...

In the 1890s, a new printing process was invented to infuse color into the black and white capabilities of early photography. The process called "photochrom" or photochrome did not record color, but rather was a photographic offshoot of chromolithography, transferring color on prints made from black and white negatives. The Library of Congress has a large collection of nearly 6500 digitized photochrom prints.

If you want samples.. Library of Congress have tons of them to look at.

It was never marketed as a IR camera

Sure, but that doesn't change the fact that the phone is now less useful to me than when it was released. If OnePlus wants to add a different filter mode, they should just add another filter instead of removing functionality that was already there.

 

SteveCP , via OnePlus 8 Pro Onyx Black , Jul 13, 2020 :

Thank the idiots that were trying to look through apple remotes and thin clothing for that being removed.

Then we are on the same page.
It's pretty far from that indeed. In best case it can look like a faded photochrom.
While effects like this can look cool I don't see the the photochrom resemblance in it.
