what is the best resolution to contacts tab?

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...

Display of text has banding?

Has anyone ever noticed that when holding the screen in portrait mode, while viewing small black letters on a full white background, there is some gray banding behind the text? This is not the case when I make a screenshot with shootMe, and view it on my pc.
I will upload a file as soon as I can, to show what I mean. I don't know yet if this is a hw or sw error. I am using cyanogenmod 5.0.5.3 btw. Do not know whether or not it occurs on the stock ROM.
See hurricane-disco.nl/text.jpg for an image that does not show correctly.
See hurricane-disco.nl/textphoto.jpg for a photo of the actual image on my N1. Depending on the rest of the screen, there is more or less 'noise' in a row of pixels. When I turn the phone 90 degrees, I don't have this issue, but might come up with an image which does have the problem and will post it here then.

[Q] Spen editing photos

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.

Workaround for zooming and editing using s-pen

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.

contact pictures big and small...help

Hellò,
I would like to know why some contact pictures are showed in full screen while other, with same size and resolution are displayed very small.
I have assigned 3 picture with same size and resolution to 3 of my contacts but only one of them, when called (or when he calls me) the display shows the picture in full screen mode.
Does this happen to you also?
I don't want to use any application for full screen caller, I don't like it..
thanks for help

Black and white photos/videos except one object or colour

Hey guys, how to shoot/take video of scene where everything is black except one object or one colour?

try AI colour Mode

I don't know if this is what you mean but one way to achieve such effect is to take picture in aperture mode then view it and in the upper right corner of the picture there will be small lense icon, touch it and from the filter at the bottom pick mono filter which should desaturate the background.
