Right. But the processing pipeline is not. If you took one single image from the sensor of the pixel or iPhone it would look like ass compared to what the processed one looks like. The poeple capable of writing those pipelines don’t typically do it for free.

    Interesting, is it called the camera processing pipeline? Id be interested in reading some more and seeing if there is a foss project

    I highly doubt there would be one. I imagine entire optics engineering departments are deployed to write that software. Phone manufacturers don’t usually write that software either; it’s more often than not licensed.

    Fun fact, Sony’s phones break the camera software if you root them. I wonder how much of it is to protect their blobs.
