Hi,
I would like to know if it is somehow possible when using the camera to choose only an area of the picture to be photographed? I know you can crop a picture after having shot it. What I want to know is if it is possible to choose only a definite area to be pictured, so already from the camera interface as a preprocessing step.
The reason is that I want to picture graphics in a book but I would like to selectively photograph only the graphic without the residual text on the page.
Does anybody know an app able to do that? Thanks

Use the zoom feature of the camera to zoom in only on the graphic?
Otherwise, there are a bunch of camera apps in the Play Store. Maybe one of these allows cropping before capture:

I am probably overlooking this but how do you take a picture and annotate the FRONT of a photo. Same with a screenshot. I think I saw someone did that on a screen shot but not sure if he used another app to do that. The built in draw on image automatically flip the image to allowing drawing on the back of the image.
Nevermind, download photoeditor from Samsung App and then click advance editor when viewing photo in gallery.
This makes zero sense. All drawing happens on the image itself. Nothing gets "flipped".

He's talking about the feature that flips the image and let's you write notes behind it, he doesn't want that (gallery default), he wanted to write on the front of the picture (already solved, he downloaded an image editor).
Alternative method
Alternatively, you can pull out your s-pen, hold the button of the s-pen and press and hold on the screen to take a screenshot of the picture. From there you can crop, write, and basically edit it however you please.
Beauty of this phone that is has so many features, that many third-party apps are rendered obsolete in it. I've discarded several apps I used to use in my Galaxy S 2 when I got this phone.

Yes it is kind of weird. If you take the screenshot with the s pen, you can annotate on the front right away. If you take it by swiping your palm across, it takes a screenshot and to access it, you must use gallery. And the default on the gallery allows you to edit on the back unless you choose advance edit and then you can choose photo editor and draw on the front.
But what I don't like is once you start drawing on an 8 MB photo and sends it, the receiver will only get a 1280 x 720 file. Also once you annotate the back of the picture and send it, it only sends the front or the back, not both. You have to send each one separately.
The generic default camera app my nexus came with, use to show a thumbnail of the last picture you took. It would just sit in the bottom right of the screen.
It was super handy, cause I could tell if I did indeed just take a picture of what I was trying to take a picture of.. ANNNNND if i clicked the thumbnail it would open up the photogallery.. tres handy.
Does anyone know where I could get that app? or if there is a better camera app that has the same sort of functionality? I think the Galaxy SIII defauly camera app does this.
In the camera app swipe the right edge of the screen left and it will show your gallery.

Maybe put the photo on a larger colored background? It crops the photo for both directions of the screen. If your original will fit inside both directions you can keep it whole. Only deal here is that you will see a colored background on the sides or top depending on the size and shape of the original. black or deep red might not be bad.

hi cheers for reply but found an app that works really well it's called picspeed wallpapers. Thanks
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Can this seriously be true? Once I apply an effect, say a sticker, to a photo in the edit mode, that is all I can do. My only option is to save the photo or cancel. If I try to go to the saved photo to apply more effects/filters it says duo effects unavailable for this image. This HAS to be a bug right? Surely we should be able to do more than one thing to a photo! Just another disappointing aspect of an already disappointing camera. Also where's the photo collage function? CMON HTC!?
My wife has a Note 2 and she's addicted to Instagram
But she is having a problem like since forever.
She uses the Instagram built in camera (since it catches what she wants), but she points the camera to an object for example and when she takes the picture it comes out cropped below. In other words, what she previews in the camera doesn't get photographed. There is a side (smaller cut) and bottom (larger cut) offset from what she sees and what she gets in the final picture.
Any help?
Can someone test this? Thanks!
Anyone to test this, please?
Bump:crying:
AFAIK , Instagram camera works that way . There's nothing that can be done for the moment .
However , I often use this method
Capture an image
Use Photo Grid to resize it ( It will automatically resize the entire image so that it can fit into Instagram )
Hope it'll helps
It only does this in Note 2. I have LG G3 and image is not cropped. Neither my previous phones.
Thanks for you answer!
