Unfortunately the pictures viewed in the Gallery won't be loaded in a higher resolution when zooming in. Can anybody confirm this?
Confirmed, this application ideed doesn't refine when zoomed. Didn't do with Desire neather. I would like to have a HTC album application. That one does zoom and refine...
Search image viewer on market,it should work properly
indeed - but this gallery is a great looking app... don't want to give it away ;-)
The problem is that there's nothing to refine. What I've read in the reviews that the image app makes a smaller version of the original image. So you are looking at less the pixels than the original image. Stupid but hey, It's not a camera.

Thanks for that - can now see pics in much higher res, but the app lacks a few basic gallery features, such as rotate, swipe/move to next pic, etc. Any alternatives?
What about installing the nexus one gallery app like what we did with the milestone?

Pretty stupid indeed, with a gallery you want to watch the original images... Not some thumbnail. Hope this will be fixed in the future...

Has anyone else noticed this? When you go to Photos on your Desire and browse them - even if full screen - they never show up sharp, but bit blurry. If you zoom in/out on them they soon sharpen up. Weird.
Just wondering if its an issue with my phone or general issue.
Sorry few posts this morning... Its been a Desireble morning.

There's an explanation for that..

Thanks for the link. I agree with the many opinions that this is an issue with resolution, NOT color depth. The pics are blurry - not sharp.
Hope this can be fixed soon. I use the Photos gallery to show pics to friends etc and it doesnt look impressing.

I think you're mistaking the Cooliris gallery you find on stock 2.1 with the Photo gallery on the Desire which is HTC's own app for Sense UI.
Look up Cooliris and Nexus One.

My mistake. I've not got my Desire yet (Roll on, Monday) so just thought they'd be using the same gallery app.
If you find any information on this matter though, keep us posted.
To the OP, could you elaborate? Are these pictures you took on the phone camera? Did you sync them from your PC and if so did you just drag and drop them onto the SD or did you use some syncing software i.e. Doubletwist? Did you download them from the phones browser and if so was it over Wifi or 3G?
I just sent over a large photo (4656x3600) and it's sharp in preview mode and zoomed in. I synced some photos using Doubletwist and it reduced the size of the photos without me knowing...so it wasn't the phone. Pictures I've taken with the phone are also fine.
Its most noticeble with photos taken with the Desire camera. If you zoom in or out they sharpen, otherwise they are bit fussy.
Please check if the zooming does any difference on yours?
I'n not having this problem at all with my Desire.

Yes, I see what you're talking about. The picture isn't shown full resolution until you do some zooming in or out.
I must say, personally it's not that big a deal, and I can't seem to find any way to change that behaviour.

Yes, but that just degrades the visual quality WAY more than the HTC photo app.

It does?? I heard it is a great app...
I'm not having any such problem with either the photos app or the Gallery3D app
They show blurry as the system is showing a lower quality thumbnail that it has saved so that browsing between them is quicker. Once you start zooming in it loads the full size image and it becomes sharper.
any update on this , as a photographer i have my portfolio
on my Desire handy to show my pictures to anyone that is interested..
but it always take me to zoom them in a little to render them sharp which is a pain in the but when wanting to show them off in a quick manner...
if not any good alternatives then the gallery...
Does anyone have Gallery 3D successfully working on the EVO and syncing photos with picasa???
If so, how... and can you provide directions.
Thanks!!!

From what I've read, the Gallery 3D has bugs (crashes when you use the camera). Anyone know of a more bullet-proof way of synching Picasa web photos with the Evo? How about a Picasa-like photo viewer on the Evo that will edit & organize photos like the Picasa desk-top application?
Try this one...it works great.
i've been using 3D gallery on my EVO since the first day I got it. It's been flawless and it's extremely smooth as well. You probably just got a bad apk. Try the newer ones, you'll love it.
Thanks david279. Your attached APK worked great on my Evo.
Many thanks, I appreciate it.
When you open the camera via the gallery, it only gives you the ****tiest resolution, it hasnt been properly ported to the evo yet
also zooming in on a photo makes it look like its crap in 3-d gallery, its like its zooming in on a low-res sample and not the 8mp image that it is. If i zoom in with htc's gallery it looks incredible.

Works fine on my phone as well... for the record, you do have to wait a bit for the image to full load when you zoom in. It will zoom in pixelated and then after a bit it will sharpen up and look the way it should.
Here's the new working link.

there you go guys.
Is there any better (than stock) picture viewer utility? The one in Eclair shows the images very ugly when i zoom them in...
Try Droid Comic Viewer, available in Market
You should also give JustPictures! a try, it's free from the Market and it's great!
great!
thank you. it is obviously better. no idea why android has such crappy image viewer...

Justpictures or the comic viewer?
Floating Image is good as well. Its free and open source.
Justpictures is cool, but it seems to show some 'banding' or stripe effect on some images at certain zoom levels. I also had to change "Maximum resolution" on the settings to get images to load their full resolutions. Maybe the stripe effect is just a result of the image being rendered at it's full resolution all the time because it disappears as you zoom in.
It's good though, nice interface.
I've been using Large Image Viewer: http://www.appbrain.com/app/image.viewer
It's not fancy, but shows images in their full quality without any glitches. Although it does take a fraction of a second to load the full quality as you zoom in.
Tried the JP viewer and i dont see any improvements, the comic viewer is close to showing full resolution BUT the loading time is LONG!
Hi all.
We all agree that SGS Super AMOLED is amazing and viewing photos is simply a joy... but the Gallery 3D supplied with the phone can't handle image quality in a satisfying manner.
There are plany of apps out there for image viewing. Some are neat, some are less.
I've tested some apps like Floating images, B&B, Just Picture, Picture Folder and Image Viewer.
As a professional photographer, image quality is a must. So I tested each app with various images but same resolution (800pixels long side).
All apps mentioned above, except one, failed to show the right sharpness and color transitions.
The best app for those who care about quality, is Image Viewer. This app has no appeal and no "fun playing around" feeling to it but it does the job on the best side.
If you think there are better apps out there, please share.
Cheers.
Large Image Viewer seemed to give good quality.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/large-image-viewer/image.viewer
Personally I use JustPictures. In the options you can set the picture resolution to "original" which makes it show the full resolution, although it has these minor line artefacts so the quality isn't perfect.
I can't find this "B&B" you mention. What is it?

I believe Image Viewer or Large Image Viewer is the same app.
The lines you mentioned are called BANDING. This is usually seen in transition in the BLUE color (e.g., Skies).
Image viewer won't show you these banding at all.

Have you guys tried the fixed gallery app that can be installed via sgs tools? it fixes sensor batt draining bug too. Also fixes picture quality issues. I use justpictures myself

I really like Perfect Viewer. It has really good controls for zooming and scrolling, and I believe it does it's resizing in a way that is pretty high-quality.

gallery from sgs tools is not compatible with JPU
The gallery from Number22 ( SGS tools ) is pretty decent once he fixes the random FC but and the black bars on the thumbnails, to date it has the BEST image quality ive seen/

Try large image viewer, and compare images. Quality wise (as mentioned already) this is the best app.
Does anyone have a recommendation on a Gallery app that actually knows what to do with portrait mode pictures? Seems like Google Photos is the only one that knows how to properly categorize/show portrait pictures. Every other gallery app I have used shows every portrait picture and the non portrait picture as it's own album. Clutters up a gallery really quick.
Any suggestions?

I hope this isn't too much off topic but felt like it was worth mentioning. My favorite all time gallery app if one hasn't tried it is Sony's Album app. To me it is hands down the best app when dealing with a lot of photos. There is a universal port here on XDA if anyone is interested, thank you.
just curious - if google photos works, why use anything else?
Sony Album app was always great and has been ported to work on pretty much any android phone

How does it handle pictures taken in portrait mode? Every other gallery app I've used creates a whole album for every portrait picture taken? So far I've only found Google Photos to handle portrait shots correctly.
