It would be great if my contact photos looked as nice as the demo of Grace Fuller and her friends, but mine seem rather grainy. Anyone have an idea what reso those Diamond sample contact photos were taken at?
I posted the same probleme and got answers.
You have to go to the album, select a picture and add it to your contat threw the album menu and tada, photo contacts look sharp.
Thank again to the people who gave me the answer

Hi, I was wondering.
On all the diamond ads and demos, you see contact pictures looking sharp, colourfull and nice in he contact shortcut on TF3D.
When I set my contacts in the shortcut, they look like ****, all blury and like underscalled.
When I look at the used pictures threw the album, they look sharp.
Does anyone know haow to have nice pictures in the contact shortcut?
Thanks

I've noticed the same. I've also noticed that if you take a picture with your Diamond to use as a contact picture it will be sharp and if you take a high resolution picture of someone and crop it without too much scaling it will also be sharp. I think what we need to know is the optimum dimensions for the contact pics as well as the optimum resolution. I'm sure you'll find it somewhere on the forum if you search.
OK thanks,
I think I'll take a picture with the diamond and open it in photoshop, thenre I will have the good ration.
Thanks
I have seen the solution here somewhere before. It has to do with the file compression that the phone does when you select an image as a contact picture. There is a workaround.
to add a pic for contact go to the htc album select the contact pic from the album and add it to a contact with the menu
If you add contact pictures using Outlook on your PC, or Contacts on WM, then it doesn't save them at very high quality.
If you do it using TF3D, then the images are saved at a higher quality, and stay that way, even when they're syncronised to and from an exchange server or through ActiveSync
I had similar issue. Then, I've used S2V (http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=2432) to set images to contacts and they appear very clear now in the TouchFlo3D. I do not really know why, but if you have time to check please let me know the results

I'll give it a try, thanks
What you need is go to PEOPLE in TFL3D, and flip to the picture you want to replace, and then click MENU | CHANGE PICTURE. Select any High Res pic you want!
In my previous phones I have been using photoshop to tune my pictures for contacts. I would love to know the resolution for the people/contact images aswell.
Looking for some help with two minor annoyances with the Diamond:
1. my photo contacts are far grainier and poor than the samples shown by HTC. What reso did they use? Any good software that can help with creating good contact pix?
2. There is a setting within WM on other phones to show just the next appointment or upcoming appointments. This seems to have been disbaled in the Diamond. I'd like to have more than just the next appointment appear when I scroll the home screen.
Thanks for any help.
HTC's demo contact pics would have been professionally photographed, scaled and then selected. Its called marketing ;-)
If you take some good pics of people's faces on a digital SLR or with the phone camera under very good lighting, and then use Photoshop to perfect them, you will get the same results.
About the contact pics, do a search. There was another topic about this.
It rescales the pictures badly unless you add them to your contacts in a certain way (some menu, i forget now).
The Windows Contact list contains photos but stores them at a very small resolution - so in the HTC contacts list they look terrible.
To fix this, first highlight which contact you want in the htc contacts window so that it's on top, then hit the menu button and select Change Picture.
Select your higher quality image and voila, looks great now.
Of course as this is not part of the normal contacts list, it's not synchronised and you need to redo it all again if you do a hard reset or upgrade roms.
Oh well

LOL - from the album, NOT from Outlook. Do that, and the photos will be all nice and shiny
upcoming appointments

There have been many comments. You can find them using the Search function.
However, there is no solution...
Thanks for the help on the contact photos. Using the People menus made all the difference.
Hey guys, I get a few different emails that have pictures with surrounding text. And since i've upgraded from WM 6.0 to 6.1 for some reason the pics are so small that i can't read the text that is on them. Is there anyway to enlarge the pics at all or zoom into them? I searched and saw someone refer to scrolling, that didn't work. And as far as changing the text size, well that changes the text size AROUND the pics, but not the pic itself.
anyone got any insight? i've started to notice that with lots of my emails when i download the pics they are all scaled down in size which is making them blurry and illegible
ok, i tried changing roms, changing from imap4 to pop and nothing is working. and its not just the dilbert daily email i receive, its all emails with pics in them. all images are blurry, and im' not sure whats up with it. does ANYONE have any idea how to fix blurry images. tried looking under gmail support for pop/imap4 and didn't find a thing.
Emails with embedded images will have them resized whatever you do, short of switching to using another mail application. If the images are attachments then clicking on them will bring up the image viewer and it will be fine.

the reason I've been concerned about it is I used to have the emails open up just fine when I first got my phone and set up email with the q-mobile 1.2 ROM. I dunno if the ROM somehow effected it, but I was always able to read the images in the emails. as soon as I went to 6.1 I lost it. tried 6.1 w/out the bloaatware, duttya 6.1, and not a treo fans manilla 2d now. but if email is always "supposed" to be like this I guessi have to settle then

I also faced this issue with the daily dilbert mails. no i do the below and it works fine.
First click on download internet pictures. Dont click on tab to scroll right now. Let it download the pictues, and then click the tab to scroll right link and you can see the comic is a bigger size. hope this helps

ok ill give that a shot tomorrow when I get their next email, hopefully it works
i dont know the hell is going on with my phone, but after a while it went back to display the images properly, now its back to showing them improperly. And i just figured out whats wrong with it. Its not that its not downloading the pictures appropriately, its that when i click the "tap to scroll" it doesn't "unwrap" the images all the way. for example, at the top of the email there is actually a long picture selction bar that says "home-->most popular-->strips-->animation->mashups->blog" in my desktop email these are all in line with one another. but for some reason why i click tap to scroll, blog appears on a second line.
anyone know whhat could be stopping the images from fully "unwrapping"?
Hi Everybody,
is there a way to prevent picture dithering in TF3D on the Diamond2?
I have very nice looking background pictures, but TF3D dithers them very strong, so they look terrible.
I know, that WM 6.1 only supports 65k colors, but the same pictures look very good, when I look at them with a picture viewer on the Diamond2, but not so in TF3D as a background image.
Does anybody know how to turn this behavior off or how to prepare the images right, so that they look as great as with a dedicated picture viewer?
Similar problem with the contacts pictures. What started out as a nice sharp image ends up as a blurred mess when TF3D's finished with it. Any hints on improving this would be welcome.
Contact Pictures:
Don't start within the contact. Start with the picture album, use there the menu to add to the contact. Works better. And sharp.

Have you taken you contact pics using your TD2 camera in contact picture mode? mine come out perfectly!
Thanks, guys, I'll try both. I don't tend to use "contact pic" mode with the camera, 'cos I don't know in advance it's going to be a contact picture, if you see what i mean!
You have to choose the picture from the contacts. Add a favorite contact, and from there add a picture. This results in a very sharp image.
Adding an image through Outlook and syncing it results in a blurry image. Have no idea why. This device has plenty of bugs.
