For android to mac there is Android file transfer, which is a glorious pain in the ass to get it to actually connect. It’s as if both Android and Apple want to say that it can be done, but they both go out of their way to make it difficult. There is also an Android App Wifi File Explorer which allows you to point a browser to your android’s file system and download files over wifi. It has issues, but it works, and I expect it will work with any OS. > > Which is adequate for the limited use I make of the cell phone camera. > > I'm sort of the inverse ... If you can photograph it with a proper camera why > use the phone? I basically use my camera for photography and my cell phone for documentation. I have a Pixel 3 which is supposed to have one of the best phone cameras available, I just don’t like the feel of the images. Their automatic processing to jpeg doesn’t please me, and the raw files are too brittle to get what I like. I probably have a few photos from the phone that don’t suck, I’ve just never expended the effort to process them. An ongoing wish among many is to apply the computational photography thrown at phone sensors to camera sensors. > > You can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself. > The funny thing about my photography is that there are a fair number of people who are much more pleased by my photos than I am, so I often don’t worry overmuch whether I would like it, I just try to get something the person I’m taking the photo for would like. -- Larry Colen [email protected] -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
