Does anyone know how to change the file format of screen capture pics (back button + power button) from png to jpeg?
Also how can i upload the pics properlly, when i do a screen capture or via shootme app, the pics are taken vertically but everytime i try to upload them to xda they always come out horizontally even if u go into the gallery and correct the picture.
Thanks.

Get an app from the market called screenshot. It has .jpg output, and works by a timer or shaking, not the pain in the rear back button method.
Or you can just upload it to you note book. Use Paint and view it to horizontal or vertical as you like. Than, Save as jpeg.

So I sent myself a jpg file and tried to open it on my phone. It opened in the photo album viewer evey time. It opened the whole album, and showed the thumbnail of all the pictures. If I clicked on this jpg file, it opened in the album's picture viewer (the one from the camera's photo album (the HTC one, says Camera Shots on the top, Album, and Menu at the bottom).
I could not figure out how to open it in anything else, and this particular file was not working out when trying to view it in that HTC album (it put it in landscape, and it was too small to read). It was actually a screen shot from my PC with some item numbers and stuff from a retailer's website, and I was about to go purchase said items.
I am using the NATF 5 AT&T Loaded Final ROM on my Tilt.
Anyone know a work around for this? Do I need to install some 3rd party jpg viewer or something? And if I do that, will it interfere with the HTC Album viewer?
couldn't you have zoomed in to see the picture? anyways install the attached file and then click and hold on the file then click 'Open With Program' choose 'Pictures and Videos' or whatever app you want to associate jpg files with and then check 'Associate selected Program with this file type' It should open
I can't see any way to zoom in with this album viewer. Maybe what I need to do is find another jpeg viewer.
its a gesture you move your finger in a full clock-wise circle on the image to zoom in
a full counter-clockwise circle zooms out
a half clock-wise circle rotates the picture clockwise 90 degrees
a half counter-clockwise circle rotates the picture counter-clockwise 90 degrees

Thank you, that did the trick! Got it rotated back to portrait, and zoomed in enough to read it.
That really helps me out, thanks a million!
Just would like to confirm one thing:
After u took photo in landscape then view it through gallery again in landscape position, does d photo fill d whole screen? Or with both left and right side fill with black bar? I meant without zooming or whatever.....just view original.
Mine would view in landscape mode, but there're still 2 small black bars on sides. It's different than portrait mode.

Is your photo taken in landscape format? If your photo is taken in portrait format and view in vertical position, u will see two black bar on top and bottom, am I right?
That's correct, I think because of the menu option is hidden away when you don't use it.
So, I guess it's normal and my phone is not having any problem ;-)
As stated....
I take a picture in portrait mode....click the little button to view the picture i took (inside the camera app) and it saves the picture sideways in landscape mode.
But, when i go to the Gallery app to view the picture, it displays correctly in portrait mode. So if i try to upload to facebook or send as an MMS, it turns the picture back to Landscape mode and sends like that, even though it displayed correctly in the Gallery. Even if i try to save the photo with it rotated incorrectly (thinking that it would turn the correct way when i sent it or uploaded it) it still shows up incorrectly.
The only fix i have found is to go to Gallery, view the photo, crop the photo (you don't actually have to crop anything, just select the whole picture) with it in the correct orientation and it will save a new pic in the correct orientation.
Come on, there has to be a fix for why it saves the picture incorrectly. I shouldn't have to make a full picture crop everytime i want to upload a pic or send it via MMS.
bump....
is this a common topic or what??
Use vignette to take photos and justpictures as gallery replacement set resolution to high in just pictures...this will keep photos sharper when zooming and cropping. The stock gallery app plain stinks
Swyped.....you may have to interpret
Arghhh how the heck are you guys getting your photo's to display correctly ( as wallpaper ) on the NC after you install any Launcher on the market !! ... this is horrible. The images are all zoomed in and cropped off no matter what I try.
Set it through the nook. Nook button -- settings -- home (under app settings) -- set wallpaper. This was mentioned in another thread, I'm just repeating the answer.
Search for Wallpaper Set & Save - that's what I used.

I tried that app. With any Launcher that I have tried, Set and Save still does not format the wallpaper correctly. Seems as soon as you replace the stock Launcher nothing will set a wallpaper correctly.
I wonder if there is a way to pull a stock wallpaper of the nook then push a new one into the /system/wallperps folder via the shell ...?
Check your other threads on this same topic and you will see I have already answered this for you. Go to the nooks original home screen and set the wallpaper there. Turn the device to landscape and discard the first try at wallpaper then select. You can just put a folder on your sd card called wallpapers and they will show up in the nooks photo gallery automatically.

Well I tried this again and still it crops the picture and zooms in. Are you getting the square crop box when you do this ?? I am. I am doing this...from home screen >long press home screen>click on change wallpaper>pick new picture from photo tab>move crop box as much as as I can>hit save. New wallpaper is zoomed way in and pixulated. :O(

Ok. When you get the portrait crop box - DO NOT hit save. Rotate the nook into lanscape first then Hit discard (trust me). When you discard the first image orientation it will give you the option to crop the same image in landscape format. Crop the second image option and then save that one.
Ps. You should see two tabs when selecting to set wallpaper. One labeled wallpapers the other should say pictures (I think). If not, try putting some wallpapers in a folder on you sdcard.

Ok I see now what you mean. And yes that did work ... sort of ... After I hit the discard button the picture reset and the crop box changed to a landscape size. But .. even tho the photo changed and the crop box changed, I can not fit the entire picture in the crop box. The picture I am trying this with is a portrate picture of my kids standing up. They fill the entire picture, but I can only get the new crop box to frame in either the top half or the bottom half of the picture. If the crop box was to rotate then they would fit in the frame perfect. Right now I can only see their chest and heads. But it did fix the problem about the zooming in. Any other thoughts mate ? and THANKS
Just to confirm, I'm trying the same method and seeing the same (picture doesn't fit) behavior.

hmmmm... what is the size/resolution of the image you are using? you may need to resize the image with photoshop or one of the free image editing programs. Maybe cropping the image on a pc then transferring to the nook. Glad this could at least get you started. Thanks for asking the question cuz I am gonna load pics on the two NCs that I got my kids for xmas so that they are personalized when they start them up that morning. Now I know that I have to do some photo editing before hand. When I get it done, I'll post a little tutorial on the steps.

I'm using the hummingbird pic from the stock NC pictures tab.
Can someone tell me of a good program to edit photos using the spen? I have a photo in my gallery, I deleted spen and it brings up the pen. BUT, I cannot zoom in on the photo because when spen is active any screen touches are read as pen writing. I tried zooming in and then spen, but when you active spen the photo zooms back out. I'm sure there's a way to do this but it's alluding me.

hey man, if you found a solution to your problem let me know...meanwhile all i can suggest is a workaround.
1. download quickpic from google play (need this as the default gallery app shows up the menu whenever the spen is brought near to the screen)
2 open any photo in quick pic.
3.take a screenshot of the photo in full screen mode using ur s-pen.
4.when the screenshot is automatically opened, you can edit it using the s-pen
5. to zoom in use pinch to zoom. you can still use the s-pen on the zoomed in image to annotate, draw, etc.
6. when u zoom out, whatever you have written with the s-pen will also zoom out..
7. save the screenshot.
i don't know how the resolution will change if you use a screenshot of a photo rather than the actual photo, but it seems to work well enough for me.
have fun and if you do find a solution to actually zoom in and edit photos without taking screenshots, please do reply back here.
regards,
unless I'm misunderstanding ...
1. open s-memo, create new memo
2. click the photo icon (to left of microphone icon on the toolbar)
3. click "picture" then "gallery"
4. select picture to edit
5. adjust aspect if desired using arrows then tap outside image to fix
6. use pinch & zoom to zoom into a section of the picture (if you do this smoothly there should be no mark left by your fingers, but if there is, just click "undo" to remove it before proceeding)
7. edit zoomed image with s-pen as desired
8. save or export once finished
note - above only works if you have the "s-pen only" option in the settings menu unchecked - otherwise your pinch & zoom gestures will be ignored.
