Avoid red eye with flash
asked 2015-01-02 22:01:37 +0200
In the new years eve I was showing off my new Jolla by taking pictures and guess what when I returned home . The pictures were having
- Poor resolution ( a bit surprising )
- Red eyes come with flash. ( In 2014 ? )
- Auto focus works only if you take a second pic in the dark.
- Lot of blurring ( which is understandable for low light )
I might be doing it the wrong way taking pictures, but is there a red eye removal tool via some application ? I dont mind doing some post processing on a GNU/Linux Desktop.
+1 to everything you said. And lots of noise too - I cringe when I look at these grainy images on my computer monitor. Why can't Jolla make me look like an amazing photographer? :(

rburkhanov ( 2015-01-03 09:16:31 +0200 )edit@sifartech grainy images are kind of expected when we do low light photography and when our sensor hasn't such high ISO processing capabilities. I was surprised to see that zoom is just useless , it makes the pics even more worse.
