Phone (3a) camera generating normal images although a LUT filter is applied

g10draw

I created a LUT in DaVinci Resolve to replicate the warm color grading of the Dune movies. I then saved this LUT as a preset within my 3a pro camera application. While the live camera preview accurately displays the desired warm tones from the preset, the captured photos revert to their standard, unedited color profile. Though the same LUT is perfectly working using Blackmagic camera app to capture videos in Dune colors. This issue is isolated to the presets I’ve created using my custom LUT. Can anyone help me diagnose why the captured photos aren’t retaining the preset’s color gradin

I would say submit the problem via in phone Tips and Feedback in the settings.

g10draw hey brother, after I submitted the problem, they reached out and asked for screen recording, i have mailed them yours and that video of mine.

Just wanted to let you know.

g10draw

Harry_275 In that case my preset should work on your device. Can you confirm about that?

Works like a charm and looks great outdoors.

Harry_275 It seems now I have to reset my device I guess.

g10draw I would say wait for them to give any software update, because I can’t assure you that it would work just cause it worked for me, cause in another post there were people for whom it didn’t work. But if you really wanna use the filter and dont wanna wait, take a shot, it may work.

Harry_275 After a reset, it’s working. Now, I must focus on color calibration and replicating the Dune world visuals. Thank you very much brother.

Yes please submit this bug to the Tips and Feedback via in phone. I can’t even take normal pictures now. All mine keep reverting to something else.

this was their response, do they want all of us to go to the service center or what 😂

etidorhpa

Harry_275 Thanks. It’s an obvious issue that hopefully they will resolve soon.

etidorhpa noiceee

g10draw i would suggest to not flood your camera with lots of lut presets, cause I believe that was the reason mine started to have problem, I had around 15-20 luts at the time, I had just went on adding every lut I found good.
Right now I have around 8 including yours with the 4 that came with the phone.

I would also like to try out any new LUTs you create in the future.

Harry_275 That’s unfortunate especially for those in areas where they do not have tech centers.

The response I got was "We have forwarded your concern to the relevant team for further investigation. Rest assured, we will keep you updated as soon as we receive their feedback or resolution.

We appreciate your patience and understanding regarding this matter. If you have any further questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us anytime."

I have a similar issue. But, In my case Nothing’s post processing ruins it. Everything looks great for 1 or 2 seconds after I click the picture then the post processing kicks in and removing some LUT effects. Hope they’ll give as a toggle to disable the post processing in preset option.

Amudhan_Sundararajan I faced the same situation, but resetting my phone has resolved it for now.

g10draw I even reset my phone. Still It’s the same. The thing about Nothing phone 3a pro is, it has a good camera system and it clicks some really nice pictures. But, when it comes to LUTs. It’s not yielding the desired result that’s what frustrates me. I have two LUTs one applies bit of tan and applies some teal shade (Teal and Orange effect) it makes the subject look too orange. In preview screen it looks perfect but as soon as I click the shutter it mess up with a good picture. And I have another LUT which makes hings which are white into blue like a sea effect. As soon as I press the shutter button It makes those clouds darker.. it’s so frustrating. I’m really hoping to see them fix their post processing algorithm. Or let us disable it in presets.

g10draw Is your LUTs still working or not?

I’m experiencing the same issue.
The colors on screen after applying my custom LUTs look great, but once I take a photo and check it in the gallery, the colors become noticeably dull.
In my case, fluorescent colors that fall under the wide color gamut (like orange tones) lose saturation and appear muted.
I suspect it might be an issue with storage options or color profile compatibility that users can’t adjust manually.
I really hope Nothing addresses this with an update or official response soon.
Fixing this issue is crucial for the unique photo preset feature of Nothing to truly shine.

nothing1977 I hope you reported it in Tips and Feedback in your phone . ☺

nothing1977

nothing1977 The problem wasn’t solved at all;;; Even after a camera reset and a phone factory reset, the problem wasn’t solved. When I check photos after shooting with a preset, it consistently results in one of two things: the tone becomes unnecessarily bright or disturbingly dark. It seems I’ll just have to wait until the next update."
