Honestly smartphone workflow are just bad for different reasons. The best UX in digital photography is found in Leica rangefinders and Hasselblad / PhaseOne detachable medium format backs (not really the mirrorless medium format Hasselblad or Fuji cameras which have the usual awful menu systems).
- blagie 5y agoIt depends on what you want out of a workflow. As I'm getting older, I'm finding I like taking photos, viewing photos, and I hate editing photos. For 99% of what I do, cell for workflows would be great, if not for the privacy issues. Google takes my photos, and sometimes shows me "this day 3 years ago" or a nice montage. I like that. I like having raw files for that 1% of photos I will edit, but that's a much less important use.
- frostburg 5y agoOf course, yes. My issue with phones (besides the limitations in acuity, DR, etc.) is that they unpredictabily decide a lot by themselves in an opaque fashion.
- blagie 5y agoMy preferred workflow would be: - Camera unpredictably decides a lot by itself in an opaque fashion. I get useful automation for family photos. - I get a RAW file if I want to decide something different or if I'm printing and framing a photo 99% of the photos I shoot fit in the former category, but the 1% in the latter is about equally important (1 framed photo is worth a lot more than a random cell phone snapshot).
- sudosysgen 5y agoRAW+Jpeg with a modern mirrorless in Aperture priority and vivid presets does that for me. Send off all the pics into Amazon Photos or Google Photos, put the RAWs in my NAS, and edit them whenever I want to.
