Hi. I needed to make a photo of a document a few days ago with my phone and then read it. Strangely, I was not able to read a single word because when I zoomed in the photo was blurred. And the font was not small at all. The big surprise came up when I transfered the photo to my computer, and discovered that the text could be read without a problem. So I'm guessing this is a problem of the android built-in gallery?
the gallery does not zoom in to the actual image size. so when you zoom in the photo will be blurred. try viewing the image with a different image viewer. I dont know of any though.
Anyone notice that photo clarity is poor when scrolling through albums? Most of the photos I have imported were taken on a 12 mp camera and would traditionally sharpen automatically when i scrolled to a new picture. Would take a second but the pic would sharpen considerably.
Since the updrade to TW my pictures no longer sharpen automatically. If I resize a photo (pinch and then unpinch) the photo will then sharpen..
Basically, if I want a sharp photo I need to manually force to sharpen.
---- just spoke to samsung rep, acknowledged issue but offered no solution. No auto enhancement with TW. Very disappointing.
So I've noticed an issue with the stock sammy gallery and was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this.
So my issue is:
When changing wallpaper, select a picture that's NOT stored directly on your phone (I've tried this mainly with Picasa, don't have anything else).
Crop the picture with the (imo) shi**y crop tool that Sammy has provided us with,
Set the wallpaper,
your wallpaper should now be a cropped version of the same resolution as the image you saw on screen
(Not a cropped version of the -original- image)
(Meaning if your image displays at 1280x720, it should in theory crop at that res, whereas the usual behaviour is to crop the original full-res image - Ie. download the whole image, then crop).
This all makes for a very grainy wallpaper because well, let's face it, the final result will have a much lower pixel count than 1280x720.
As I said, I've only observed this with Picasa pics, local pics seem to crop correctly.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
(Using a different gallery / crop tool seems to fix it for me).
Hi, the size of picture taken does not match what I see in the camera app, and by size I don't mean image size on disk or resolution.
Basically, what I see "through the lens", as in, what I see on screen when I open the camera app, is slightly smaller than what I get when I take a picture and view it in Gallery. It seems the camera is capturing a little more than what's shown to me on the phone screen. It's pretty annoying when you line up a nice shot only to have the picture taken framed slightly larger than what you saw on screen.
Anyone else have this problem?
I'm using CM10.2.0 stable for i9300, clean install (wipe system, data, cache, preload), with stock CM10.2 camera and gallery.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

What you see on screen in AOSP camera is 16:9 and camera sensor is 4:3, so you have an answer
You can shoot in 6MP 16:9 if you want exactly the same.

Thank you so much.
Do you mean that the camera only shoots 4:3 in 8MP? Is this because 8MP is its native resolution so it matches the camera as 4:3?
Is there any way I could take advantage of the 8MP camera but have it shoot in 16:9?

Exactly. Camera is able to shoot in 4:3 in 8MP mode. Basically it's an industry standard. Almost all cameras (from iPhone to even entry level DSLRs) shoot in 4:3. Other popular standards are 3:2 and 5:4. 16:9 is used mostly by cinematography.

No. Either you have to choose 8MP 4:3 or 6MP 16:9.
6MP 16:9 would be nothing more than cropped 8MP picture to maintain 16:9 ratio.
Can't find them anywhere. Want to download full resolution 40mp samples. Also want to know the capture time for a 40mp image. Also want to know if the jello effect has been fixed in video yet as well as the awful blurry ghosting low light video.
