Hi, I have a question on the gallery editor.. are there any apps that can edit the picture (in-place) and replace it? Let's say I take a picture, and use 'auto-adjust', then save it.. the photo saves in a different folder and doesn't replace the original image.. Are there any apps that can do that? Thanks. Currently, I have been using QuickPic for the gallery and editor.. I also have downloaded apps like Aviary, Snapseed, PicsArt as backups..

For basic colour editing, things like saturation and temperature, also filters, basically instagram photos, use afterlight. You can choose from your gallery or even take a photo and directly edit it. It's £0.59. Not that bad considering.
If it's more complex editing, the sort of thing you would use Photoshop for, use Photoshop touch, it's £6.99, but it has a tonne of features.
Thanks for responding to my question.. does Afterlight edit the original picture and replaces it? I'm trying to find something that's similar to the photo editor in IOS 7 and 8.. where it replaces it, so I don't have to copy/move it over.. Thanks.

The built in editor does all of this, and doesnt overwrite the original as far as I know. Its actually quite a capable editing tool.

Is there any apps for viewing your photos, that are like the iphones. HTCalbum is somewhat slow when you change pics sliding your finger. Also, in the older htcalbums, you could rotate. Anyways, if someone knows a program or can make one, that would be great. Thank you.
do a search for S2V bu A_C in fact i recomend all three of his apps if you want the iphone look
i love resco photo viewer pro.. i've been using it since i got the touch pro, and its great for pictures. the htc album program kinda sucks because its so laggy, and really doesn't have any options besides to view in their version of thumbnails (which is painfully slow), and to send or delete them. resco's program allows you to resize the images, adjust saturation/contrast/brightness/etc, and their thumbnail view is very fast. renaming is easy, as well as moving and copying. its probably the best program i've found to handle multiple pictures at once, because you can check them off and move them to wherever. its very windows feeling though, it doesn't have all the graphic effects of the iphone or anything, but its stable, and it works, and thats mainly what i use it for. part of my job is image resizing and editing off an sd card, and this is one of the programs i use daily, and its one of the main reasons why i don't have to carry a laptop with me anymore.
For strict viewing, adding to contact, email, sms, etc., you really can't go wrong with S2V. I use it on my Fuze more than ANY other app. I also use Resco's app, but it's not free or finger friendly. It is very feature rich however.
I highly recommend S2V. And if you like it, be sure to send A_C a few bucks. Works fantastically with S2U2 as well.

is there an app like gimp 2.0 that you can create images using touch and trackball and save as jpegs, png, etc.
I would also like to know if there's an application similar to gimp
The GIMP is FAR FAR FAR to sophisticated of a program to even consider porting to a mobile device. You need something dumber for simple drawings. There are a couple in the market, I don't remember what they are called.
Yeah, there's no way you're getting anything close to GIMP on your G1. I use a program called "Draw!" for simple paint drawings...you can change pen size, color, stuff like that. Works well and even has a built in gallery for viewing your photos. Basically, like a portable version of Paint.
Foxy Editor
Foxy editor is like 3$ in the market go search for it. It has brushes, filters and almost every basic operation you will need. It's the closest you can get to Gimp or photoshop at this time.
what kind of files?
what kind of files do these save? can you save as .png? like if I wanted to work on icons while at work, but don't have a comp to do it with.

Don't know, but you could always install ImageMagick (commandline util) and convert them...
Hi all, i am trying to work on a theme for the Droid X. Can anyone tell me why some of the images open in photoshop incorrectly and more to the point how to fix them?
I cant post a link apparently to the image or a http link since i'm new but
You can view the image here. http:/ / dl.dropbox.com/u/6769503/8bit.jpg
Is there a setting or something I can change in PS to open these correctly?
Thanks for your time.

What is the original file extension? .png?
I had this same problem with some .png files wich had transparency in windows image viewer, but not in photoshop.
My solution was to open it in Paint.net and save it, rewriting the original image. Please be sure to set the transparency correct whilst saving in paint.net.
Download Paint.net
Thanks for the reply, yes it was a PNG, ill try paint.net but i would really like to use Photoshop. I cant understand how it can mess up the transparency and anti alias like that.
Update: Paint.net does indeed open the file correctly... so while i do now have a solution. I would still like to find out why Photoshop (both CS4 & CS5) open it incorrectly ?
Well technically 8 bit pngs are indexed images with a varying amount of colored pixels and then varying amount of transparent and semi transparent pixels so some programs might not like this. I would recommend gimp over ps as its similar but doesn't have this issue.

that image actually seems correct, can you post an image of the alpha channel? then we will know if photoshop is not reading the file correctly
As one poster said, it's because the images is indexed. If you do Image > Mode > RGB, it will un-index it. I must warn you though, PS is HORRIBLE with indexed images. Use GIMP/Paint.NET to un-index it to save yourself a headache

Ahh but then you lose the 8 bit optimization, even running optpng will not put it back to index png cause it will ossy optimize it. So just use gimp.
Thanks for the replys guys.
Here is an example image.
http:/ / dl.dropbox.com/u/6769503/btn_circle_pressed.png
If you open it in PS, you will see what i mean, changing it to RGB does not change the image. I can open it correctly it Fireworks, then save it without making any changes, and then i am able to open it in Photoshop correctly.
This will do for now in case anyone else runs into this issue. The file size isn't too much bigger this way, so it will work for now.
Thanks again to all that helped.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1631008/btn_circle_pressed_fixed.png
Here's the image fixed, it was indexed... all I did was open it up with osx Preview and save it again. Or you can try this gimp they all talk about but I think it's overkill to switch to another program just because 1 or 2 images are weird, especially after you paid for your copy of Photoshop.

Thanks for your help. I don't have OSX and i absolutely cannot get used to Gimp. but opening it in adobe fireworks and saving it again right away does the trick, so although it's a pain, its simple to do.
If anyone ever figures out a way to directly open these types of files in Photoshop i'd be glad to know.
Cheers

Yes that works but your removing the indexing. Android uses indexed pngs wherever possible because this saves space and resources, if you changed every file in the android system to rgba your phone would be noticeably slower.
If you change it to rgba and then run optipng on it you'll see it will not index cause it can only lossy optimize, but if you set the mode to index and then optimize it you'll notice then file will be considerably smaller with little or no image quality loss. So in short your removing a vary important optimization feature of the android system.
If your looking for a quick image conversion tool try image magick, this will allow you to write scripts to convert them png24/32 to png8 and back whole folders at a time.
well as we do with video it's always better to work with uncompressed, high res images. Then when everything is done and set in stone we compress and optimize without loosing too much image quality.
If i had to start a theming project I'll probably do the same, convert everything to high res, work on it then compress to a more optimized format.

Yeah for video thats fine, but in theming and specifically for this file gimp will allow you to work on the indexed file and you literally can not tell the difference with the indexed file being atleast 50% smaller. Maybe this would make sense with an image that has alot of quality or is high res but in this instance it a loss of time and added steps when the same could be accomplished with industry standard tools.
I ran into a major issue last night.
This was REALLY pissing me off, you know one of those things that SHOULD be working but isn't. Whenever I view the decompiled apk (framework-res, and systemUI)
The files are decompiled everything looks correct, but when I open the image files in cs5 they look all blurry as hell. I have attached some screenshots. Make any sense to anyone?
Just curious why the images would show up that way once they were pulled into PS. Its not just that image, its all the images. Does anyone know how I can resolve this or even prevent it from happening?
Can I not use Photoshop CS5? Dreamweaver CS5 seems to handle the XML files like a pro.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Try without decompiling - its not needed just for replacing icons - use any zip program to open apks

Tried that too. The first pic is the picture preview in the folder. It only happens when its open in PS. Very strange. I can open it in paint, and the the icon is normal (just loses the transparency, of course).
Open the img with paint.NET first, then save, then you can open it in photoshop.
I think this is an issue with the img being indexed in photoshop, something like that.
It's an indexing issue, ps dies not do it right. Open the images in either paint.net or the gimp. Switch the mode to rgb, save then you can open them fine in ps
What a pain in the ass. Opening them all in paint.net now, this might take me awhile. lol
When I go to gallery and see the selections for all photos, camera shots, then the various picture folders on my vivid, what is the factor that chooses which picture is the cover thumbnail for that folder? I know for camera shots it's the most recent one, but I can't determine what it is for the others. I'd like to manipulate a dummy photo so that it's always the cover thumbnail in a few of my "other" folders!
I can't find an option to change the top picture. You may have to get another album from the play store.
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
Another album meaning replacement app for "gallery"?
There must be a method to the way the top picture is chosen, whether it be size, date taken, name? Ideally is like to be able to sequester certain folders from showing up at all in the gallery, accessible only by file explore r!

Have you tried creating a blank '.nomedia' file in that dir? Just a thought...
I've changed the name of some pictures before however it doesn't affect which one is selected for thumbnail view. in root explore, the folder is listed alphabetically but in gallery view it seems to be by date created?..
Is there a way I can edit a jpg file so that it says it was created in say 2005 for example? Hopefully this will allow me to choose which file is the thumbnail

Can you go to the My Pictures/Pictures folder on your PC and find an old picture - one older than the ones in your album(s)? I know I have photos 8-9 years old on my PC.
Using Windows you can edit the "date taken" by right-clicking, properties, Details tab, edit Date Taken field. Apply. OK. See if that works
Every time I take an older picture and copy it into this folder, it changed the date modified field to todays date, which makes it no longer an older picture! I even created a new folder and copied all the pictures over, with the one I wanted as the cover first, but it reverted to the same order it was in before!
On my work laptop with windows seven I'm not able to edit the date fields, I can change some other info on the file but right clicking or double clicking the date doesn't do anything.
So this is not possible to change the picture that shows up as the cover of the folder album!

Try the QuickPic app. It's free I believe. I got it because the HTC Gallery app was displaying my shots in random order, not in the order I took them. See if QuickPic works better.
Looks better! Thanks for the tip. Any way to set it to default over "gallery?"
Like when the camera is open and I click the pictures that have been taken it opens gallery

I don't see a way to change the association between the camera app and the gallery app, both from HTC. You can associate QuickPic with photos. Using a file explorer app (I use Astro), go to a folder containing photos. Long press on one file name. You will be prompted to select from Gallery or Quickpic. Check the default checkbox and then select Quickpic. This may, or may not, help some.
As for date changes on the files when you transfer them, try Dropbox or a similar app. I use it for moving files between my PC and phone. The file dates don't change.
I really miss my Resco Photo Manager from my old Windows Mobile phone. It is much better than any Android apps I have used.
Thanks, I have drop box I'll try that!
any way to enlarge the photos IN Gallery? before the ICS update the gallery was easier to see all the pictures.. but now its smaller and hard to make them out before opening it
