basically i would like to use the panaramic mode but with the 5 megapixel quality, i dont know whether this can be enabled with a hack/patch, but i think it would be a good addition to the phones abilitys - i know it would take longer to finish the stitching but a worthy wait! anyone interested?
Me too
me too..
for long times..since the i900 omnia ;-)
on sgs using panoplanet lw it would be great!
This sounds reasonable! Samsung totally missed the spot with these ridiculously lo-res panoramas Love this feature, but low res output makes me do panoramas on my pc...
Why don't you take regular pictures and use windows software like Microsoft ICE (free) or AutoPano (not free) to stitch them together?
(I know, not a solution to your problem, but definitely better results)
A solution but kinda take the spontaneity and fun out it. Its nice to have the results in hand.
panoramas are usually lower res because they are, in fact, they are several photos stitched together. this holds true even in some newer point and shoot digital cameras.
the galaxy s is not alone in this. previous samsung phones such as the i900 omnia , s8000 jet, and i8910 omnia hd support the sweep panorama, but only at a lower resolution. just be thankful that the galaxy actually HAS sweep panorama - my friends with their iphones drool over this feature. otherwise, do what frauhottelmann says.
if a dev IS able to make this happen, then WOHOO!
Holy moly it would be awesome if this could happen. Doesn't need to be huge but anything better than the tiny res setting its using now.
Of course that will put a much bigger demand on the memory and processing since it takes all the photos and then does the math. I can see issues popping up...

even if it just took the pictures automatically leaving the stitching to do manually later it would be very handy. id actually prefer that.
i dont mind waiting while it processes the images, and if i was going to go thru the process of stitching in windows id probably take the pics with a real camera, it was just a suggestion and i, as a non techy thought it might be just a few mod's to the camera scripts - surely it would be a few lines which forces this mode into low res.
Decided to start a thread for Xoom/Honeycomb apps for photographers. This is not a thread for camera apps but a thread that a photographer shooting with a dSLR might use in the field, during a shoot, or to edit or view photos.
I will edit this post as new ones are added to make it easy for folks to keep up with.
Available:
Quickpic
Geotag Photos
Sundroid
PicSay Pro
Camera Control
Photaf (free)/Photaf 3d Panorama Pro
Adobe Photoshop Express
Scott Kelby's Photo Recipe Apps I and II
CR2 - a .RAW image viewer for Canon RAW files.
In Development:
Naiar Project
The Photographer's Ephemeris (TPE) - being developed for phones, but hopefully will work OK on tablets.
Does not seem to work:
Camera Zoom/FX
You can add PicSay Pro. It has the Honeycomb navigation elements, but still only works at screen resolution for edits and saves.
Not sure if it's tablet optimized, but you could look into PhotoCaddy. Sounds like what you're looking for
Photaf works well and I worked with the developer to make it more Xoom friendly.
I wanna shoot tethered to my 7d

I can say that I don't think Camera Zoom FX plays well with the Xoom.
It only seems to take pics in B/W.
I really love the effects available and would love to use, so if someone else can test, that would be killer.
Thanks
Photoshop works on the xoom

Holding off until we verify. Not up to purchasing it this week.
Camera Apps for Xoom
The Vignette app seems to work well. The interface isn't scrunched up like the others (Retro, Fx, & Zoom). And the quality is good.

It does not work in landscape.
Picplz... although I'm not sure if it's considered a photo app. It has numerous filters and allows a quick upload to FB, Twitter and Foursquare.
Photo display on the xoom
One thing that really disturbed me about the ipad, was the compression applied to all incoming photos by itunes to an already lossy format (jpeg).
Does the XOOM (android) automatically apply compression as a photo is moved onto the device, or can I transfer my jpegs untouched from my computer?
Thanks for any help,
DJC

99% sure that since it is a fully open file system, unlike iphone and that we don't have an application to move files for us you files are 100% untouched. If they were, I would think the device is doing the manipulation and that would be poor design

It does not alter the files in any way but the images don't look that great in the native viewer. I have tried with high resolution files and low resolution files on 2 Xoom models and the native Gallery viewer makes them look slightly softer than they should. I use Quick Pic which displays them a lot better. I was actually shocked at first at the fact that they looked that much sharper in one viewer vs the other.
I've been waiting in hopes that Nikon would give Android some love. I own a D3000 and I love the camera. It just seems to make sense that a tablet with the proper photographer's aids loaded on it would be an ideal evolution for those of us who were bitten by the photography bug over 40 years ago. However, nothing I've seen so far gives me any hope with my dream. Has anyone else observed otherwise? Would appreciate any mentoring that anyone is willing to offer. TIA
Adobe Photoshop Express works well and while it has not been updated in forever, I find for a free app it has a lot of what the rest have with a better interface.
I put my paid versions of Camera Zoom FX and Vignette on my Wi-Fi Xoom but have not really played around with them yet so I can't say how they work. A rear camera on a tablet is kind of useless IMO. My DX has a better camera and is far more portable. If I need a real camera I have a nice DSLR. The only camera I use on the Xoom is the forward facing one for video conf.
Just curious, any recommendations based on what's listed so far and what's the best recommendation as for a method of actually getting images onto a Xoom in the field?
I would love to be able to have a tablet version of Nikon Camera Control for my Xoom. That program is the sole reason I still have my 12" AL powerbook G4. I look like a tard with my lappy tethered to my camera for shots. How many of you would find something like this useful? I wonder if Nikon would be open to the suggestion...well, after the tsunami recovery.

I would love a canon version, too. That is actually part of the reason I purchased a Xoom, expecting someone to have an app for tethered shooting/live view. Landscape photographers everywhere would rejoice. I know there is someone working on canon raw image viewing, which would also be huge.
Try checking out GoldenPic, for finding the Golden Hours, Blue Hours, Sunrise, Sunset, weather and more!
Our device has got one of the highest pixel densities out there with a large screen to boot, meaning most things look like garbage on it.
If you find any higher-res live wallpapers out there on the market, post links to them here and I'll keep the OP updated.
Thanks!
Paperland Pro Live Wallpaper - due to it's simplicity, the wallpaper still looks petty good
Mystic Halo Live Wallpaper - has a setting for hd phones, actually looks pretty great
The Nautilus - really fun with a lot of touch controls
Video Live Wallpaper - Set your own or selected videos to loop; pretty great

Those are both great, thanks!
so, when i got the galaxy camera 2 part of my reason, a big part, was to take better pics than my old point and shoot. while pics are a bit better its pretty clear i am no wiz at taking good looking photos. in fact i would say im pretty useless. i pretty much have the thing set to "macro" and thats it. anytime i have tried to make use of the manual controls i end up producing utter crap.
so has anyone found a guide or soemthing that would help me to better make use of the camera and teach me how to make it take the photos i want to.
To make use of manual mode you need to understand how the camera handles light. A good basic guide is the book Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson. Whenever someone is interested in going beyond the cameras automatic setting, this is the book I suggest.
...hmmm, judging by the plea for help this seems more of a request towards artistic, rather than technical, guidance.
See, personally I bought a refurbed SGC2 to avoid all the manual settings and have the luxury of having a glorified Android tablet with a 16+MP point-n'-shooter. If I wanted to be more technically proficient a photobug, I would've shelled out more for an SLR, lenses, bags, stands, lighting gear, a high-end PC / Mac workstation, Photoshop, etc., Ugh!
I think you should Google, Youtube, or Khan Academy something on good shot composition and techniques, rather than tinkering with settings.
"Rule of thirds" is a great start and was a creative credo in my cinematography class in video production. I still suck at lighting, but I've taken that rule of thumb almost to an unconscious level.
Now I'm hoping your SGC2 is the one with Android on it because I bought it specifically for use with the Vignette photo app. (There's a free demo in Google Play.)
Run what you consider "crap" through this, mess with some presets and tinker around with some tweaks, add frames, and you'll look like an absolute genius.
I swear by this app and have yet to use the built in camera.
(I'm sure I'm limiting myself with the camera's capabilities, but I'm stubborn that way.)
The beauty of digital (as opposed to film) photography is that you can practically shoot forever within storage and power consumption limits.
Go nuts and experiment! Find your artistic niche!
Who knows, you just might actually step up to that SLR and go pro!
Happy shooting!
(I adore this camera, BTW and I'm still wondering if there's any reason for me to root it.
I honestly haven't found one, yet. I use it more as a camera, rather than a tablet.
We'll see.)
P.S., ...by the way, my avatar was shot on Vignette on my old-ass, rooted & ROM-ed, T-Mobile LG G2X with the Vignette app. I took the photo in it, square framed (with rounded corners) it, used the Ilford (B&W) preset, clicked the 'underexposed' customize, and voila! Otherwise, it would've been an average, run-of-the-mill photo of my GF and the cat.
Hello, ladies, gentlemen, and aliens.
I made this thread with wallpapers that i create and i will update it from time to time.
I do some graphic design, but not at a big level, however i also like photography and "game photography" (I spent hours and hours trying to mod games to be able to take great pictures in them).
Pack 1 - These wallpapers are all screenshots i've taken in the game, and i hope you give them a try as they are not even related to the games, but to their artistic side.
I worked quite some time on them, and to make them as screenshots took a while aswell, as i had to edit them manually and make them fit a 9:16 aspect ratio.
They are also resized from crazy crazy resolutions like 11520x6480, so, expect them to be of high quality.
Genres: Surreal, Abstract, Nature, and basically everything. This first pack, i wanted to make for everyone to be able to enjoy.
91 wallpapers - Resolutions: qHD (1440x2560), FullHD (1080x1920), HD (720x1080)
Thumbnail view of all of them - Few Proper Previews

Read this please:
I make these wallpapers because i like helping people (Literally, my top priority in life ) and making content for everything, i made them so people can enjoy them, please, don't re-upload them elsewhere, and don't claim them as you're own.
If i find any of them re-posted on Zedge on other websites/apps, i will report them, Sorry.
As a side note, please, forgive my way of talking, i don't really know how to explain things properly, and i don't know how to talk to people.
