I guess it is a fact that what I consider as "true to real" photos from professional cameras are still being modified by the sensor processing algorithms. But thing is, even as a novice photographer, I can figure out and predict how the algorithm will behave and then change my settings accordingly. I feel like with computational photography, it is a blackbox sorta deal where I am always being pressured to adapt to how the cellphone is thinking and not vice versa. More often than not, the picture I capture with my cellphone looks very different than when it was being displayed in the live preview. That part is the one that frustrates me the most.
