ProShot camera app.

[effoc]

Hei RiseUpGames,
I have a technical question: If I choose lower pic resolution, p.e. 10MP in 4:3 for a Lumia 930, is the resulting picture an oversampled one or does that setting just use a part of the sensor? And will the new universal app support ISO64 and lossless zoom for Pureview devices? Is there even an API for thirdparty developers? Ok, these are some more questions
Btw, thank you very much for your work, I like your app a lot!

Yep! The 10MP option is oversampled from the original 20MP image. The ISOs supported will vary from device to device. I don't have a 930 to test, but the Lumia 640 does ISO 64-3200. Zoom is handled a bit differently in the W10 version - but just know that the full resolution of the image sensor is being used

On that note the first release of ProShot for W10 won't have an option to change the resolution, it will always be set to max. That feature will be added in a future update.

For the app itself, I'm *still* waiting on some things I can't control. I will be uploading a full video overview on Monday June 27, and am hoping the paperwork will be done by then. I don't want to get anyone's hopes up, but the app could drop next week :smile:

Happens every year for those living in the southern hemisphere. But I'll gladly accept an update all the same.

For the longest time (first Redstone release or so) ProShot hasn't been able to run on my phone (640LTE). Any time I'd try to launch it, I'd just get a black screen for about 4 or 5 seconds then go back to the start screen. On a whim, I uninstalled the app, reboot my phone and installed it again. And what do ya know, it works again! Still looking forward to the Win10 update for the app, but in the meantime, I can at least use the previous release again.

(Oh, and this seems to have worked for a few other apps that I thought had stopped working under Redstone.)

I understand the ProShot software won't alter the picture coming from the sensor.

You have a real opportunity here because the Windows 10 camera app ever since the denim update crushes blacks and artificially sharpens the picture.

Lousy app. Still need to click save after firing a shot. App also very laggy.

It won't alter the picture. I haven't run any side-by-side tests with the stock camera though, so I'm not sure if the JPEG processing is just how their engine is tuned. I'm making every effort I can to get the maximum quality out of the image sensor.

I'm sorry you're having issues. Is this on Windows 10? Microsoft changed the way the camera hardware talks to apps in 10, which made the old version of ProShot a bit unstable. I'm unfortunately unable to patch that, which is why I rebuilt ProShot exclusively for Windows 10

Can proshot w10m app support living images feature???

[prasanna moholkar]

Can app support trial version too if yes how many feature in trial moad?

Yes on w10m. Thanks for that. Will reinstall when your new app is ready.

Just read this,

Maybe something you can implement in a future update unless you already did.

Damn, that light painting feature looks awesome! Can't wait for this!

Glad to hear this. Windows Camera has been a terrible app to use for low light night sky photography. My images have been highly distorted thanks to the automatic post processing that's applied to the JPEG images.

Yeah, would love to see HDR in ProShot.
