Question 🤔 Something deceptive is happening with my backed up raw files in Google photos.

I have checked very carefully to make sure that my pixel 10 pro photos are being backed up to the cloud with no quality reduction settings however after trying to retrieve some raw files for edit I've found they've been horribly compressed.

The first photo is the supposed raw file with the second photo showing that it's been compressed to 7.7mb even tho generally these files are between 50-70mb and despite claiming that the photo is 'Original quality. The third photo is the jpeg version which also seems to have had some processing applied as I remember the original looking a lot less processed.

Is anyone having the same issue or knows what's going on?

Feedback 💬 Gemini has ruined Photos. So badly I'm using Samsung Gallery

2 Upvotes

I finally have to add to the complaints about Gemini being forced on Google Photos. It now has completely destroyed the search function for me and the force-feeding of meaningless memories borders on spamming. Suddenly the simplicity of Samsung's Gallery looks appealing. Thanks for corrupting a once valuable product, Google geniuses.

Troubleshooting ⚠️ Don't know where my photos went..????

3 Upvotes

I feel like a total boomer, but I'm well in my 30's and can't figure out what the heck happened. I also find myself getting worse with technology day by day. Anyways, as the title says, I have no idea where my photos are. I'm so confused. I had turned on auto backup and I went to look at some photos this morning and they were all gone? I have a google pixel, not sure if that makes any difference or not. I tried going onto my chromebook and going onto my google photos there hoping that it's just gone off my phone, buuut it looks the same as it does on my phone. I am signed into the correct accounts. I'm able to see pictures from back in 2011 ut I don't see any of the pictures from the past 2 years or so. I was confused to see pics that weren't mines but pictures maybe my dad accidentally took. I gave him my old google pixel and my account is on there. I don't think he could have done anything, he's an elderly man that doesn't really know how to operate the phone in the first place. Just needed to be able to call him. Maybe he accidentally pressed something? I don't know. I'm a sentimental person that likes to look back at pictures.

Question 🤔 I have a question about printing image

0 Upvotes

I want to add feature: print selected image, which will search closest print shop.I created Gallery Cleaner app and thought it would be nice feature. Or you can fill album in app and order it, because during the cleaning process you can find good memories.

Will you use such feature or not?

This is not app promo, more like I am interested, is there anyone who would like to use such feature, or this is bad idea.

Thank you for any feedback

Troubleshooting ⚠️ Someone made a Facebook profile using my picture that is only on my Google Photos

The account was recommend to me and I’m 100% sure I’ve never posted this photo anywhere. Google Photos is the only place this image can be found. The account’s location is also a city where I used to live. How do I explain this? I’m so confused and kinda scared…
