What is wrong with the lumia 925 front cam? Post-processing?

[ddumalag]

Every time I take a picture using my lumia 925 regular front camera it destroys the pic with post processing. The picture becomes soft and a bit blurry. It also destroys the color for some reason. It looks horrible, here's a pic for reference, ttp://imgur.com/a/tAaXF. The first image I took with my regular front facing camera. The second image I took also with lumia 925 front facing but in burst mode. It said in the app that if I use burst mode the pic would be low res. But I think burst mode looks better because they don't add any post processing to the image as the phone takes the images fast. No post processing therefore not destroying the pic.

It's not the FFC and not the 925 that's causing these issues, but the camera app you're using. Try a different one.

I've used like 3 camera apps alread and it's still the same.

Post processing! Same problem with the rear camera >.>
Second photo looks a lot better, which is surprising since it was from a burst shot.

Post processing is heavy on noise removal, makes the photo look soft and destroys fine details. Messes with white balance too
It is disappointing because this issue was not always around, and has never been fixed!

This happened with me on the 1020, 920, and 822.. Not just the 925 >.>
All after Amber

I had taken photos with 808 but I do not have any comparisons. Image processing is clearly superior!

Lumia 830 is too sharp and oversaturated. Sky is more exposed.
Nokia 808 looks a lot more natural to my eye.

Even Lumia 830 suffers from this crap, but definitely not as much as 925/1020/etc.
Look at the colors >.> wth
