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 and about 30 seconds of processing.

Took me 3 days of soldering, but it works!

I can connect it to a Librem 5 and it automatically does all the needed PD stuff to expose its UART over USB-C ๐Ÿ˜ It's also capable of a lot of other PD magic as a USB PD analyzer / injector / filter.

However, while these solder joints made a good job lasting till I got the firmware PoC working, it doesn't seem like they're going to last much longer... More soldering ahead ๐Ÿ˜ซ

...but not impossible ๐Ÿ˜ Being able to order a 6-layer PCB with capped vias for $2 is crazy. It even appears to work with Thunderbolt and DisplayPort, which is surprising, as I barely knew what I was doing ๐Ÿ˜‚

Everyone's excited about pretty sun flares right now; I found one in my collection too, although slightly different in its nature ๐Ÿ˜

No manual editing this time, but an automatic postprocessing script using darktable-cli and rudimentary lens corrections. Takes ~30 sec to develop on the phone - about ten times longer than the default script used by Millipixels, but with much better results.

That's how straight lines look like through your phone's camera lens. Such distortion needs to be corrected in software.

For practical reasons, photos that you 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 dosowisko.net/l5/photos/ for an example.

Me: Is a photo taken with a phone a representation of what its camera saw or what its software believed to be there? ๐Ÿ˜ผ
