Hi guys!
despite i use my HD for 9 months now, i still didn't find an application to make photos stored into my HD to be seen in hi resolution when they are attached to a contact or displayed by TFD3D within Photos and Videos tab
it's kinda of frustrating when you take nice pics with a dedicated camera with +5Mpx and then transfer them into HD
i know that there are some "manual" methods to make them displayed in hi-res but this is very dificult when you have more then 10 pics
so i am asking if you, smart guys here, can make such an application in order to be used by all of us with less programming skills
i am sorry if this app allready exists and i dind't find it out. if so, please point me to the right direction
thank you and best regards to all of you!
this is interesting - 105 users view this and no comment
if it is intersting, why no comment?
if it is not interesting, why +100 views?
It's interesting and I would like such an app as well - but it doesn't make much sense for me to comment because I have no idea on how to program it!
And I'm quite sure most of the 105 other users that have read this don't know either!
Tap on the low res "framed" image on the Photos and Videos tab to open the image in glorious high quality.
Slide left and right to scroll through the images in the album.
As for contacts, add the high quality image to the contact on the phone, not via Outlook, and it will show a high quality version on the phone.
Hope this helps and I haven't totally missed what you really wanted

nope
i know what you said and this is not how i wanted
i want to copy hi-res pictures from my cam into my SD card and them to use them to attach to contacts or to display on "Pictures and Videos" tab without any manual trick in order to be displayed in hi-res
if this is not possible "by default" because of some windows or htc bug, then i want an application that can be run and then all pics to be displayed in hi-res, no matter what i do with them
would that be possible?
It should be possibly, its just that no one has ever developed such a program and I can't see anyone doing this either
sorry, dont get that.
every picture, i transfer to my touch hd from an external source, are displayed in high resolution.
you sure, you dont need some glasses?
please add a screenshot to show what your problem is.
Hm, do you want a 1:1 pixel mapping? Then you will have to scroll around on your display to see the image.
Attention modern art:
Attached picture shows the relation of a 5Mpix image (2kx2.5k) to a wvga (480x800 black rectangle) screen.
Typically images will be downsampled to show 'all' information on a smaller resolution. Simple example: Having a 16x16 image and you want to show it on 8x8 screen you could take the average of 2x2 pixel blocks of the image which will give the pixel color in the 8x8 screen. This will introduce some bluriness.

smart line! did you came out with it all by yourself?
the low res pictures problem of HD when attached to contacts or displayed on pictures & videos tab is well known.
maybe i missed something and it is solved on newer roms but i count also on fallen spartan comments and it seems that it is not solved yet

Both the HD's I've got show high res contact images.
I put the images on the phone (created an Avatar folder to keep things neat) then from the contact picked the image.
From what I've read, that's the way to do it.
If you pick the images in outlook then sync, it creates a lower res image and uses that on the phone.
The rolordex screen in album is admitedly lower res than selecting the image and scrolling left and right, but then if it wasn't the rolordex would be a lot more cpu hungry, what with having to display the picture rotated slightly, and animate it as you flick through the album.
the galaxy s1 had an amazing camera, it had lots of options, and was even altered so it could be loaded below 15% battery, during music being played, and a hardware shutter button added in. totally amazing.
butttt, the galaxy s2 on the other hand.. samsung added a picture and video editor app on this phone, how lovely right? WRONGGGG ALSKFDSFJLSD =[, they removed the cameras build in ability to select these options, so that you REQUIRE these photo and video editors just to be able to do what you could do directly from the camera before..
in the Video camera, you could pause and resume the video, making a nice group of memories all in one video. now that the video editor was added, this camera option was removed, so that you will have to edit together groups of videos, just to do what you were able to do before.
in the Picture camera, you were able to change the lighting and coloring of the picture, so many times id adjust the saturation, and take a sunset picture, now that the picture editor was added, you can no longer adjust these, you have to go back and edit over every single picture.. ugh
i love to ride my bike or rollerblade, or jog, or drive around, i love being outdoors, and i love listening to my music, but whenever i want to take a picture of some great sight, my music has to stop.. i take tons of pictures every day, why must it always force my music to stop..
while id love to see the galaxy s1 camera brought over to the s2, finding a replacement camera seems more likely.. does anyone know of a 3rd party camera app that is actually decent? ive never found a camera app that did any justice..
would loveeee to see any suggestions of 3rd party camera app, does anyone have one?
I use HDR+ which I find to be an amazing camera app for quality.
HDR Camera+
awesome, im going to check it out right now, thanks a ton my good sir
Also check out LGCamera and Camera 360 (both links to free versions - I use the Camera 360 Pro app)
Thanks for the HDR tip, btw. I'll go explore
i was looking for a camera app too... camera 360 is nice
i second hdr+. its simply fantastic...as for the gs1 camera..i thought it was average at best, and thats being kind. the video editor, imo, was total toss...usually fc'd when editing 720p vids and took too long to do anything..gs2 is much better..

Unfortunately only a few apps support the FFC. I suggest MagicHour and Pudding Camera when they get the aspect ratio fixed
It's in korean but its easy to navigate
Hey all, I'm in the search for photo editing apps equivalent to that of iOS apps Camera+ or Snapseed. I'm a recent convert to Android and purchased the Samsung Galaxy S3. Any recommendations?

i've been using photo editor. has alot of functions, and a simple ui. although all i ever really use it for is conversions and cropping
ProCapture is the best comparison to Camera+ that I've found. For editing and such, I use a combination of Aviary and just standard Photo Editor. The only thing I haven't found is a good polarizer filter to really remove the haze and make the blue skies pop.

Camera 360 and Avary are great. Plix o matic is reasonably good if you don't get carried away with the filters.

I was just having this conversation (with myself) the other day.
I like to take pictures and pre-filter them (very mildly) before posting them on Instagram or other services.
So, the best applications that I have seemed to have found are the following, for mild editing and filter application:
Snaptastic - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mcurrent.snaptastic&hl=en
Aviary - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aviary.android.feather&hl=en
Vignette - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.neilandtheresa.NewVignette&hl=en
CameraZOOM FX - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=slide.cameraZoom
Good luck!
One of the things I REALLY REALLY miss about the iPhone is Camera+! :/
That was the only App I needed on the iPhone, it was so good. The Clarity feature most of the times created a awesome picture, I havent found a single app on android that has a effect like "clarity" on Camera+
Maybe the closest thing is the Beautify effect on "BeFunky", try it, its free, and it has a lot of filters also, I bough the Paid version but it seems to be too different I didnt like it, so I just use that free one...

I am a big camera geek. I have tried just about every camera app on the Android market and I do miss some of the iOS apps. I came from having the iPhone 3, iphone 4 and iphone 4s to switching to the S3.
From all the different apps I have tried here is my opinion of the apps you NEED if you like photography.
1. Perfectly Clear - This app is also on iOS and will adjust a picture automatically. You just load a picture and it will fix the contrast and everything else. While some apps have an auto correct feature, this one blows them out of the water.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...h.perfectlyclear&feature=search_result#?t=W10.
2. Magic Hour - It's like InstaGram on crack. Whereas most filter apps come with a preset amount of filters Magic Hour lets you download filters for free or create your own for free to use later. You can get thousands upon thousands of filters. Everything from the subtle to the crazy overboard ones. You can even "pull" filters from pictures you already put through it in order to use that filter on another pic. Great for getting the same look if you did filtered a picture long ago.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiwiple.mhm&feature=search_result#?t=W10.
3. TouchRetouch - This app lets you "magically remove" things from pictures. It's pretty crazy how well it works. Photoshop has a tool that works just like this and the fact this works on a mobile device is awesome. You can't erase HUGE things from photos but it can intelligently remove things like power lines, background items and more.

You can try the ones I have in my thread here...there's a ton of fun ones

Agreed. Camera+ was my go-to-app for photo editing and the "clarity" feature was pretty amazing.
Thanks, everyone for all the recommendations! Looks like I will be looking into all of these apps to find my android go-to-photo app.
+1 for perfectly clear. It has a great one touch fix.

Camera MX is my current fav. Check it out. Its given me no reason to use other camera apps.
Been a photographer for a long time and this app fits my needs. Its very clean with its adjustments.

I am one of those people that LOVES taking pictures on my phone and I have tried just about every Photo and Panoramic app on the Play Store. I had a iPhone 4 before I switched over to S3 and at the beginning I was scared because I was letting go of some really good photo apps.
Now though, I think I might have found the ones that fit my photography style perfectly.
1: Magic Hour. Think of it as instagram with unlimited filters. It has a "Filter Store" where you can download other filters that people have made using the app. There are THOUSANDS of these. Thankfully you can search by newest, most popular, etc. This is like Instagram on crack. LOVE IT! Also, if you run a photo through Magic Hour and save it, then weeks later you want to run another photo through the same filter but forgot which it was, you can load up the photo you saved and it'll figure out which filter was used and you can throw that on to another picture. You can also mark filters as favorites, etc
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kiwiple.mhm
2: Perfectly Clear. With just one button this app will make your photos look so much better. They had this one on the iPhone as well and I'm glad it carried over. It fixes saturation, contrast, color, brightness and it does it all better than any other app I have found
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.worldiety.athentech.perfectlyclear
3: TouchReTouch. Sometimes you take a great photo and happen to notice after the fact that there is something in the background or powerlines you wish weren't in the photo. With TouchReTouch you just highlight want you want removed from the photo and it smartly removes it. It is a lot like using the smart eraser in Photoshop except you can do it on your phone.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.advasoft.touchretouch
4: AfterFocus. After focus simulates what a DSLR camera can do where the foreground is clear and then the background is blurry (not in focus). You just use your finger and select the foreground, then select the mid ground (optional), then select the background. It will then very realistically blur the background so your picture gets a great DSLR look to it.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.motionone.afterfocus_pro
Usually I'll take a photo, edit things out of it I don't want with TouchReTouch, then depending on the photo I'll run it through AfterFocus to get the DSLR look and then Perfectly Clear to make it look the best possible. Finally, depending on what I want the photo to look like I'll apply a filter. And if things go ok then I get pictures like this: http://trukatu.com/baby.jpg
As a bonus, I should mention that HDR Camera+ is one of the best HDR apps. Most HDR apps takes 3-4 pictures and combines the brightnesses to make one awesome looking pic. But they all require you to remain almost perfectly still. HDR Camera+ is the only one that takes multiple photos, analyzes the brightnesses and combines that all over the first image only. So even if the subject moves or your hands moves or something, it still looks great.

Root your phone and install the Android 4.2 Camera.
The Photosphere function is amazing.

I agree, best panoramic app. I still think the iOS panoramic app "AutoStitch" is hands down the best panoramic app on any device (except pc) but Photosphere is the best for android
I wouldve kept the 4.2 camera due to all the functionalities it had , full screen view and last but not least photosphere, but had to say goodbye to it cus I couldnt figure out how to automatically save photos to my external sd card :/

Where do i find 4.2 camera with cool gallery. My s3 is rooted.

Camera+ is probably the thing I miss most about iOS. Camera ZOOM FX is pretty alright, but it's no Camera+.
Ive tried 3 different 4.2 Gapps packages and 6 different Roms. The 4.2 camera never wants to play nice with my S3. Some people have better luck than I though.

I'm trying to find a good app that edits photos.. You know those apps like they have on iphones when you can see more than one of you in the same photo but it's like they're overshadowing eachother.. We have any apps like that?
Now that this phone has been out for awhile is there any feedback on suggested camera apps or is the stock app the best we can expect? Comparing side by side with a Samsung S7 my Zen3 Deluxe pics seem really bland. Unless the Samsung is auto applying a filter when you view it the difference in color and brightness is quite remarkable. I know we have decent guts , but wonder if the software is limiting the quality. Anyone find other apps that give you full capability and better quality? The Google camera app does not recognize all the MP resolutions I found.
