For practical reasons, photos that you #ShotOnLibrem5 are processed into JPEGs with lower quality than what the camera can do. There are some (complex) ways in which this processing could be made faster and therefore cram more pixels and algorithms that make things prettier, but meanwhile...
Each photo you take is stored as both raw DNG and processed JPG - so you can go back to raw data and retroactively gain quality. See https://dosowisko.net/l5/photos/ for an example.

That said, you don't need huge powerful but complex tools like #darktable or #rawtherapee to make your photos look better. Imagine a simple to use app that lets you do basic stuff on the phone, like white balance or contrast correction, which could then take its time exporting at full res with all the heavy noise reduction algos without annoying the user while taking photos.
Does that sound like something you'd like to work on? 😁

Seems like nobody was reaching for this low-hanging fruit, so I did it myself:
"Glowup" is a quickly hacked up thing that lets you glow your Librem 5 photos up with one click right on the phone, using #darktable and about 30 seconds of processing.

It just uses a single preset and doesn't let you adjust anything, but it's a start - some photos already glow up a lot with it. The obvious next step would be adjusting parameters in the XMP file; not a rocket science, darktable does everything for us already.
It probably needs to be fully rewritten before adding stuff, but it's just 400 lines of hardcoded UI code in Python, so that could be someone's one-afternoon project 😜
@jawsh If you create an appropriate calibration profile and preset, then sure - though you'll likely also need quite a bit of patience when running it on the PinePhone ;)
@dos would this work with photos taken with the Pinephone as well?
