I don't know what the light room is but I d/l the raw. I'm just wondering why it's grainy.Are you using expert raw and lightroom on the s24? This was my s23 last night, I find the blue colored coral is harder to get a good shot of and grainy, my wedding cake pic last night was grainy. Feel like alot of the above diff is exposure related. Also 50mp reduces grainyness vs 12mp IMO could be wrong.

Your compressed photo above with lightroom changes to exp, tint, vibrance, texture and clarity - even after R2R upload compression.It's really grainy. Supposedly a patch comes in june..but I have my s21 still.

When you take photos in expert raw. You can really dial them in, in Adobe lightroom (free download). It's the whole point of taking a raw photo, to have all the data to then process.
The diff between your s20 and s24 above, besides the grainyness, is just post processing, I got pretty close for just eyeballing some sliders without having a raw data photo. The grainyness I'm looking into rn.
Hey @stoney7713 , do you have a list of your available items somewhere?
Separately, I was playing with filters and photos after feeding tonight. I run about 12k, which means the 15k filter also isn't quite right. Here's some acan and a grade A banana my friend gave me to rehabilitate after he cooked it at like 350 par. I'm very appreciative. Also a Godzilla I bought from him.
The second two photos I took without a filter, but I manually adjusted white balance.

Reduced exposure, increased WB slightly.
Torches are hard. I can do them under blues to look right but you have to pull this wierd red peak out under 15k and I don't know enough to do it right to get the tips right. Impossible without the raw data.

Yeah you can set a preset. Under blues with an orange filter taken at 5400k WB and -1 exp... go into LR and further reduce exposure to make the lighting look normal then set WB between 16-20k an you get fairly representative/not over saturated pics.
You can also play with spot metering to see if that helps with grainyness. And the different MP. Each of the different cameras has pros/cons for bright/dark scenes, and focal lengths for closeup/far away.
I'd experiment some. The grainyness is likely related to too fast of shutter in low-light. If you turn pumps off you may get less grain from slower shutter.

Unfortunately not yet, I planned on having a gallery up this spring but all 3 kids are playing sports and it's been crazy.Hey @stoney7713 , do you have a list of your available items somewhere?

Good news this is the last week for 2 of them.
If there's something in particular you are looking for I can post pics of things. If there's something I haven't printed I can look for shared files or design it myself. I've graduated from tinkerCAD to fusion360.

Another thing is turn your iso down manually. Higher iso is related to grainy photos. Low light the auto feature increases iso (to try to catch enough light without tooo slow of shutter). When it detects motion it tries to increase shutter speed, increasing iso creating grain - I think.

Yup! My daughter needs a new one, I don't have a clue where she put the last one.
I'll probably find it in a few years stuck to the bottom of a toy or something...
