  • phone cameras generally default to auto white balance which is good for snapshots, not so good for color accuracy
  • trying to get raw files out of phone cameras is not completely impossible, but the images are almost always processed into JPEGs
    • the main camera is going to boost saturation and contrast (make your image “pop”)
    • selfie camera is going to focus on “flesh tones”, so less saturation boost (or you look sunburnt) and less contrast boost (smooth out wrinkles and acne)
  • if you really want to focus on color accuracy over perceptual color, get hold of a gray card or color checker and plan on doing post-processing in something like Lightroom, Darktable, digiKam, RawTherapee or the like
