I have photos upload with "best" quality, and to satisfy my curiosity I manually imported a few of the same pictures via USB. The checksums are different, and so are the file sizes by a few bytes.
I examined the files with a hex editor, and they're identical except the pictures uploaded to skydrive via WP8 have some sort of alphanumeric string appended at the end of the file. in the format --blahblahblah1235367--
After removing the appended data, the checksums of the files are the same.
What could this be? What does the string represent? Any ideas?
Possible explanations:
Identifies the file as a mobile upload (rather than a picture you took with your phone, synced to your PC, then uploaded).
Unique identifier for the specific phone that did the upload.
Identifies that the file is to be maintained at full resolution.
Padding to round the file out to a specific size.
Nothing at all, just a bug in the uploading code.

I'm sure others have come across this...
My carrier's limit on sending MMS is ~300KB. Our 3.2mp pictures are much larger. That and most people I want to send MMS's to don't have a 300 by whatever + resolution screen on their phone.....
So I'm looking for a simple, easy to use, app that will just resize images for me. I know the MMS software in most ROM's will auto-convert them to some sizes, but I'd rather just save the images at that size to begin with... and send that smaller file myself (also good for uploading to ftp servers to share via e-mail to other mobile devices)
I did some browsing, and i saw maybe some versions of HTC Album do resizes... but I'm not really looking to update that yet... most other google searches around 'pocket pc paint' or 'wm6 image resize' end up with themes and the like -- I need an on-phone solution.. I don't want to be tied to a computer to resize an image!

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&...ficial&hs=7vb&q=ppc+resize+photos&btnG=Search -- came up with some results, but I've never haerd of a lot of these solutions, any feedback?
hmm, did you want the original picture to be 3.2 MP? If not, then just take the picture at a lower resolution?
Other than that, although I have not played around with it, an app called Photogenics may be able to do it. Keep in mind though, it's not freeware.
Resco Photo allows you to downsize photos. You can select what pixel size you want, or type in a percentage. Its does a lot more stuff too, its not free though.
I have AT&T and they limit mms to 600k. Is that your carrier as well?

I like taking high-quality pictures in case I want to share them by e-mail / upload them, or save them for later use as something..
But I also want to resize them for friends when i send it to phones. and at&t requires it to be smaller in size to send via MMS... as another poster mentioned.
Cropping would also be nice... I was mainly looking for a free solution, but If i gotta pay I gotta pay.. I prefer donating to developers here over paying for product from companies though.
The authors of XnView (a freeware ACDSee clone) have recently published a version for PocketPCs and Windows Mobile Smartphones. It works very well on my Touch Pro. Allows retouching, resizing, modifying colorspace, batch conversion to many formats and more.

Photo Resizer
ยป PhotoResizer v1.0 Description
With PhotoResize you can copy and resize JPG images from a folder to another selecting the quality and output size of target image.
This tool is useful when you want to copy your photo from your camera to your PDA and show them at your friends using a PDA as photo album. (As I usally do)
The main problem is that every single image done with your camera (depend wich camera you use) is usually several megabytes and if you simple copy photo from camera in few time you will finish the memory available on your PDA.
With this tool you can reduce the space on each photo resing it to the dimension of your PDA screen (usally 320x240, 320x640, or 640x480). In this manner the dimension of files are drastically reduced and you can show images directly from PDA. During the conversion phase a progress bar will show you the percentage of work, if during conversion will be found an image with dimension less then the output size, that image will be skipped.
Funcionalities:
* Select source folder and destination folder graphically
* Choose target size of images
* Choose quality (default is 75%)
* Choose if you want to see the thumbnail during the process (this option can be time comsuming)

When I take a screenshot on my phone, it looks fine on the phone, but when I plugin my datacable, and tries to export them to my computer it isn't a valid image file.
Windows Photo Viewer won't open the file, and when I try to upload it to a image host, it isn't recognized as a image.
You need a better picture viewer that can handle png images. If it's a must, they can be converted to jpeg or whatever.
Picasa, FastStone, XnView...

I've tried with IrfanView and uploading it to multiple image hosting sites like TinyPic, but they won't recognize it as a image
Maybe the screen shot file header got corrupted and your phone can handle it but not PCs?
Have you tried an online image converter to convert to a different image format?
Something like: http://www.pictureresize.org/online-images-converter.html

Hi All,
I had a previous post entitled "Extracting Both Images from P9 Dual Camera": http://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/help/extracting-images-p9-dual-camera-t3465877. The help I received was excellent and so I thought I'd expand on the question.
I am successfully able to produce a "Bokeh" image from the P9, which would seem to indicate that this image does have depth coordinates embedded in it at least at one point in time. Does anyone know how to extract these depth coordinates from the image in a usable form, such as a matrix? I know one user (ScareIT) suggested Huawei may use steganography to embed the depth coordinates, but after using iSteg (a Mac steganography platform) it does not appear that the image has any hidden coordinates once it is transferred from the mobile device to the desktop.
As always, any help would be highly appreciated.
Best,
Josh
As I wrote on the other thread, the depth information is not hidden anywhere, it's just appended to the end of the file, after all valid JPEG data chunks. The JPEG image actually contains two; one is the processed image with the "bokeh" effect, the other is the original (colour) image that is used to re-apply the "bokeh" effect when editing from the Gallery app. If you take an app like JPEGSnoop and walk through the valid JPEG data chunks, you'll notice that the file is actually larger than what JPEGSnoop shows you. Look at the file in a Hex editor at that offset, and you'll see that the depth information is stored with reduced resolution and 8 bits per pixel, but without any compression whatsoever. This part of the file also contains additional information, such as the selected "aperture", the point of focus, which effect (if any) is applied to the out-of-focus areas, and so on. It should be fairly easy to write an application that can extract this additional information, though it's probably not very useful.
Aim: Text file with direct links to files to be downloaded, wanting tasker to prase the links from text file and download to SD Card.
Note: I've modified phone to allow 3rd party apps to write to SD card so no need to worry about that problem.
Why? Their is a few Imgur albums I want to download when connected to work wifi, but need to be automated to do it without human intervention (that is after I've connected to wifi etc.)
My idea: Prase the text file and place each new line into an array. The array contents are them feed to something like http get or similar.
I just need help implementing or you suggestions. I've only used tasker for moderately difficult tasks, I've done nothing like arrays before in tasker.
Hi...whenever I take a photo and download it to my laptop, the title and description fields in the metadata already contain random letters. When I then download, edit and catalogue using Adobe Photoshop Elements, I give the photo whatever description and title is appropriate...these show up correctly in the Adobe software but the random letters still show up if opened in other software or if the details tab of file explorer is opened. Has anyone else come across this, and can it be avoided, please.
