A remarkable absence of features, support or even mention of RAW photography and DNG format in +Google Photos

Suggestion:
– Upload RAW DNG photos on Wi-Fi by default, just like videos.

Google drive backend is already capable of rendering and even editing pictures stored in proprietary camera RAW and DNG, so that's a missed opportunity now that Android smartphones are able to shoot in DNG+JPEG.

  1. If you'd like to store DNGs & other raw files, you still get an additional 15 gigs of free storage, after which storage is super cheap (two bucks a month for 100 gigs; ten for 1000; etc.). I've stored tens of thousands of DNGs in Photos & it works great.

  2. +Kim Østergaard Christiansen​ the common user is an idiot. They (developers,) should cater to many segments of people who are passionate about certain things… IE: use multiple personas that together represent the majority while designing, instead of the watered down average of everyone.

    Different semantics for a similar objective though I suppose.

  3. +Taylor Wall The common user is an idiot, yes. However the common user is Google's market. They are building for their market, the market of "humans who take photos" not for the photographer's market.
