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.

People,
does anybody know how to zoom in or out with the main camera on the back?
If I want to take a picture and press the center key in the navigation pad, the auto-focus is used, and the picture is taken immediately after that. I tried all of the keys, but didn't manage to use the zoom-function...
I know there is a zoom-function, because there's a '1.0x' displayed in the left side of my screen...

You tap where you see the 1X. But you can not zoom on the highest settings. So for example if you are set to "L" or "S" definition you will be able to zoom but not if you are on 3meg.

Mike,
thanks for your promt answer!
It works just like you described. Only in 1M-mode or lower resolution, the zoom-functions is available.
Btw, instead of tapping the screen, you can also use the navigation-button up- or downwards to zoom in or out...
Saluti!
Since you say that it only works with lower resolutions, i take it it's only digital zoom (giving picture loss through interpolation and such), correct?
I like to use the front camera to take pictures of me. In the phone all the pictures look good and are ok to send as mms, but downloaded in the pc look horrible. The size it's ok to me but squares appear on the pictures, it looks like a drawing.
It seems that the front camera take good pictures but then applies some kind of data compression.
Any idea/customizing to solve this?
Many thanks in advance.
I got my s730 3 days ago and I still can't figure out how to use the front camera can anyone please show me how to do it???
When you are in camera mode press left button (menu) and in the middle icon (its like a camera) select the third option.
i have pictures to some of my contacts.
in the contacts tab they look very blury.
what is the best resolution for this function?
the best are 256x256 pixels, because builtin rom pictures of unknown callers has the same resolution
However, when in Contact Picture mode, the built in camera takes 240 x 320 pixels pictures, so I would gather this is more appropriate?
Try 240x240.
non of those, tried all.
I'm using 480*640 for favourite people... Beautiful and very crisp...
If you sync contact pictures from outlook you can change it from Favourite people screen soft "menu" key..
I use many size, dependin on what picture i have. Myself, I use resolution range from 98x98 to anything bigger.
Then the Trick is, you don't add picture at Outlook, but instead, add picture at TF3D contact. That will get make picture stay very clear and sharp.
I do found that, contact I add with picture resolution at 98x98 (or something around that, i have both 98x98, 99x98, etc) stays clear after I flash rom and need to re-add people. Bigger resolution picture i added that were sharp and clear; some became blury after re-add.

great!!! that works.
There is a much easier way of doing this than resizing. You don't have resize any picture. I had the same problem until I discovered this very straight forward way.
1. Go photos and videos section of the touchflo.
2. click on the image you want to add to the a particular contact.
3. click on the image again once it appears by itself.
4. click on the icon on the far right, the menu icon.
5. select Save to Contact.
6. Choose the contact you want to assign the picture to.
You will have a very crisp picture.
Another method is this:
1. Go to the people section of your touchflo.
2. Add the contact you want to have appear there.
3. It will prompt to add a picture to the contact.
4. select one.
This will also appear as crisp.
If you already have the contact there all you simply change the picture using the menu. That should do it.
Thank you - that indeed works and the 3d pictures look nice and crisp.
Beats me what strange algorithm is behind that, but as long as it works...
Hi All,
Firstly I'm running a stock out of the box Galaxy Note.
I have discovered an issue within S-Memo and wondering whether anyone knows a workaround. Here is a description of the issue:
1) Select a photo from my gallery and copy to clipboard
2) Open S-Memo, start a new memo and paste the photo
3) When you paste the photo you have the option to resize by dragging the outside of the image, and to get return to the sketching function you press the s-pen on part of the s-memo not taken up by the photo
4) At this point I like to start sketching over the photo however pen presses that last a second or more, or circular motions re-initialise the ability to re-size the photo and often the position of the image is dragged upwards or sideways.. hence ruining the sketch
I find this really frustrating as what i'm trying to do is sketch over the photo then delete the photo so it looks like a complete sketch. I can't do this if the photo keeps moving around !
Any thoughts/tips?
awesome forum btw!
Jeremy
I would also be interested in an answer to this. I was having similar issues with not being able to deselect the image.
Something happened to my camera app, not exactly sure when. The desktop icon changed. And it is no longer linked to google photos... also in google photos I don't find a setting to add a direct connection. So maybe google photos changed (also)? Can someone confirm or explain this? Am I missing something? Swiping to the left used to get me into google photos and review pictures right after they were taken. Now swiping just moves between mode selection, camera and video. I am running Oreo 8.0 Feb.1 patch on a rooted US AndroidOne X4
The camera app just updated.
And now it no longer couples to google photos? That's some improvement...
there is some problem in video recording mode for 1080p60fps
normal and wide angle icons works in opposite way
if u press on wide angle icon, u get narrow field of view
and if u press normal icon, u get a little wide field of view
