When does R16 make sense?

A reason to try it

Relevant changes

You need per-lens frame controls or are investigating an issue addressed by its front-camera corrections.

A reason to keep your current setup

Your current setup

A working older setup would require more retuning than these controls are worth to you.

What to check when you switch

  1. Back up your XML.
  2. Inspect noise models, upscale, black levels and Julian color transformation after import.
  3. Test front and rear lenses separately before saving the revised config.
Before importing your XML

After importing an old XML, recheck the processing values named in the release notes.

R16 questions answered

Why is frame selection capped at 28?

Hasli chose this limit around device buffer constraints; it is not a recommendation to always select 28.

Why did my old config change its output?

The developer identifies noise-model, upscale and black-level settings as values to reapply.

Where is the default R16 APK?

The source lists six named packages and no separate default file.
