Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@ayooobro says : i do film photography and when people ask if an image is "edited" it always makes me laugh. the photo is a negative, and the true "black" part of the image begins as a browny orangey tinted film, not pure white. Inverting a film negative to make it into a positive isnt just a magic process where you click "invert colours". You invert the colours, you adjust the white balance of the image such that objects intended to be white are white, and then you adjust the sliders for each colour to deal with colour cast and a multitude of other little things that make the straight inversion look different to reality. it had to be "edited" just to make it viewable as a regular photo on your phone. if youre just adjusting sliders (e.g. sharpness, contrast, saturation, white balance, tint, vibrance, vignette etc.) i see that as a standard part of editing. if you take film photos or RAW photos you literally must edit your photos to make them resemble reality at all. most photography (excluding the very interpretative and artistic stuff) seeks to recreate the way something actually looked in the moment you saw it. a beautiful sunset on my DSLR might come out looking pretty flat and dull in the RAW file compared to how gorgeous it was to the eye. you need to make edits to bring it more in line with what the human eye saw in that moment. i would even call an HDR composite or focus stacked image a "photo". 3 photos of the same frame at different exposure settings or with different focal planes is just a method to overcome technical limitations. a super high tech camera could capture every stop of dynamic range in one shot, but we dont have that so sometimes we take multiple shots in an HDR. with perfect lighting conditions and without too large issues of diffraction we could take the entire shot with one set focus, but sometimes we cant and have to take multiple to stack later. its only when you start compositing things not already in the image that i see it as no longer an photograph but a composite image. if i take a photo of my girlfriend in front of the eiffel tower edit the photo to differentially adjust the exposure of her and the background thats still a photograph. if i take a photo of her at home and the eiffel tower by itself then paste her in, thats a composite image. there is no "photo of my girlfriend in front of the eiffel tower", theres just a photo of her, and a photo of the eiffel tower sitting on top of each other. this is all to say: if the phone is using outside info about the moon to add detail that doesnt exist in the original photo, it may as well be compositing an image of the moon onto your image of a blurry disc. if the phone was using AI sharpening and detail enhancing features that had no knowledge of what the moon looked like (simply attempting to enhance the details in your image based on the patterns of pixels it sees) that to me would be still a photo. an AI enhanced photo, but still a photo. sharpening edges and detail based on information in the photo, and adding details wholesale from an external database are very different things.>> <<@gustavov3800 says : I'm taking pictures of the moon with an S23 Ultra at 7 AM in the morning, and even the sky is becoming dark with the optimization on>> <<@erickrm4763 says : 00:18 y 00:33>> <<@SurroundedByNonsense says : I've noticed the s24 ultra camera zoom in the dark for photos are absolutely appalling i'm considering selling it in all honesty>> <<@Niramay-ff2uy says : Processeees? Anyone notice that?>> <<@Akvo3ix says : Goated outro>> <<@gysiebuitendach9180 says : Hahahaha samsung use fake stuff no real stuff get a iphone if you want camera who capture what really exists>> <<@amyinzombieland says : Bought the S23 ultra and am now stuck with a great phone but awful camera. How is this phone's camera worse than my old A52s OR iPhone 6S?! I'm exhausted trying to get a nice camera on any phone but here we go again.>> <<@FunnyPunta says : Samsung doing fakery is new? Damn this bro is out of touch>> <<@SergioZamoranoMonde says : Why not showing a photo of the moon with the vivid mode turned off? Just curious>> <<@NishiyaIto says : was that supposed to be a tongue twister at the last moment?>> <<@xeanluxcrille6847 says : Find another bright object in the night sky and zoom in. See if it pulls up the moon.>> <<@deagolowang3580 says : Samsung, a company that offers 8 and 5 MP in their $240 tablet. I mean the guy doing their maths must be brain dead.>> <<@vovafint6507 says : Are you just retelling news from 100 years ago? So 20 million subscribers? What a shame(>> <<@MuhammadJunaidKhan-v1c says : How is the result of the moon picture without scene optimizer>> <<@HenrikoMagnifico says : I want my photos to look as close to real life as possible.>> <<@heklik says : Even overcast it sees moon craters... 🤣>> <<@KNDRealmz says : Just noticed if u say like button YouTube highlights it🤙🏽>> <<@Wootsk says : If you put a watermark on the moon and blow up the exposure while doing 100x zoom. The watermark is modified to be part of the moon, it actually really modify the image and not just edit. Please confirm again.>> <<@aaaaacdhhllmnnv says : So we're all reality manipulators at a smartphone level.😂 that sounds cool>> <<@ricardoaraujo5626 says : You don't need to go to the moon to discover all this fake AI stuff. I've got the s23+ and you just need to take a selfie with any 3rd party cam app (that bypasses samsung AI). My last phone, that still works, was an galaxy A51 that's a 4yo mid-range phone and it takes way better selfies than the s23>> <<@brandonbowers23 says : When he said link below the light button; YouTube highlighted around the like button. Never seen it do that before.>> <<@APDTechDude says : Can I get a moon screensaver on your App if I pay the £50>> <<@milkteaTreadway says : Photo Manipulation has a long history. Now a days people have already accustomed to Photoshopping photos. But now people would have to adjust to the new "AI shop".>> <<@Dolev.W says : oh no.>> <<@sheppo says : How not to own your mistake. “All photos are fake”.>> <<@Nearnface says : wowowwowow>> <<@jaylooppworld381 says : Iphone users trying to discredit samsung>> <<@d_vibe-swe says : I think it's pretty darn cool.>> <<@PhilShootsFilm says : What happens if you switch off cellular data and wifi so the handset has to rely on itself to capture images?>> <<@RealAmbientofficial says : What is a woman?>> <<@ddvantandar-kw7kl says : Not just phone copy of samsung is also in the circulation so ensure before you buy any model and take a valid invoice .>> <<@Mauzifyz says : sets the focus level to infinity 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂>> <<@Umburana0 says : Well, i've pointed my phone's camera at really bright things (like a lamp), and it never showed the moon, just whatever the object is. Also, do not do this, this may damage your phones camera.>> <<@_kazuma-kun says : If you take a photo of ‘blurry paper printed moon’ and the photo is sharpened even though the actual subject is blurry it’s ‘fake’.>> <<@BradLR says : the reddit post is BS, this video proved it. I wished you would emphasize this. the photos are NOT fake.>> <<@wbwright79 says : "many more manipulated megapixels have their merit". great little tongue twister outro there, Marques>> <<@l4kr says : Samsung fanboys are hurt now>> <<@Terrobility says : I'm lucky enough to be in a line of work where I have a Samsung rep. And he said the same thing as Marques. "No one complained when Huawei did it. But when Samsung does it, it makes headlines?">> <<@stopscroll23 says : Question: So the 3x camera gives optical zoom form 1x to 3x, then uses both optical + interpoled zoom until 9,9x, then the 10x camera kicks in, but already at 10,1x is optical + interpoled again?>> <<@Auvi_Silver says : cool edit with the like button>> <<@thebigz3909 says : Marques, dude, your presentation style is remarkable. You speak so simply but eloquently, a touch more rapidly than most, but crystal clear, absolutely riveting. And you toss in just a little humor to keep it all flowing like verbal silk. Sometimes when I watch a video I silently wish it would hurry up and finish. When this video ended I wanted more. I'm definitely going to check out more of your superb work. (Also, thank you for the information 😁). You've just gained a fan.>> <<@RileyB-22 says : I would love to see a Sony xperia 1 V zoom test vs the S23 ultra zoom all the way to the moon just to see the difference>> <<@cguralol says : Crazy to see this video now, since now the pixel 8 and 8 pro were released with a TON of AI in them and i see noone complaining about it>> <<@cranberrycanvas says : I’m really not satisfied with the results of your test and especially suspicious of the results of the redditor’s being so much better. I have no bias just saying it’s night and day (no pun intended)>> <<@nilabh023 says : Looks like Mkbhd's getting inspiration from Michael from Vsauce>> <<@TheWcr84 says : Software to enhance and change photos. Who else does this...... All of the manufacturers>> <<@BillPappas says : I regret giving a ton of money for this phone...anr taking worse everyday photos than my old xiaomi mi 9.....its ridiculous the over-prosseing they aply to the photos even if i have disabled every stupid feature they offer....i am very mad at the point selling it and go back to xiaomi....even with Leica>> <<@filip8461 says : Will it work while pointing camera at the white plate in a dark room to trick the camera into thinking it's the moon?>> <<@ERJOL says : But even that doesn't come cheep I'm sure the engineers had work hard to achieve it>>
