For quite a while I wondered how to edit my 3D photos, not anything too crazy just things like adjusting the contract, saturation, etc.. By default it seems that our camera captures 3D photos in mpo format, which is not possible to edit as easily as a jpeg in a photo editor. HOWEVER, if you set the format to jps, you can now edit them in any photo editor that can edit jpeg files!! Apparently jps files are just jpeg files with the right and left images side by side. I have attached a sample I did, for upload I had to set the file extension to jpg because jps wouldn't allow a file size over 97kb?! Anyhow I did this one in PicSay Pro but you can of course get more creative and use Photoshop or my favorite, GIMP. It's VERY EASY to do and very fun. For the longest time I didn't know how to do this so I thought I'd post this info for the others like me that didn't know. I was able to open the file for editing without changing the extension from jps to jpg/jpeg, HOWEVER the photo editing applications if they don't recognize or allow you to save it as a "jps" file extension just save it as a normal jpeg/jpg and then manually change the extension to jps and you will be able to view it in 3D like normal on your EVO 3D. ENJOY!!!!!!!
UPDATE:
You can now even edit your MPO 3D images, from your phone, but you have to convert them to SIDE BY SIDE JPEG first, and you can use this great program to do it! Tobidale3D!
Here's how:
1. Install Tobidal3D.
2. View your MPO 3D image from the regular Gallery*.
3. Select SHARE for the photo you want to convert, select Tobidale3D, then select SHARE AS 3D*.
4. Press MENU, then select Parallel Stereo Format (see attached).
*Optional method: You can just open Tobidale3D and view all your pics with it directly then save from there, but I think using the gallery is easier.
Now you can edit the newly saved file as it's converted to a side by side jpeg jps file (it has a jpeg/jpg extension). The rest of the original editing instructions apply.
Awesome editor! I would recommend in addition to PicSay Pro, which costs about 4 bucks, you can use Pixlr-o-matic. It's free and works great and creates high res images, unlike some editors. The default native editor apparently saves in the exact same resolution as the original file. So that's another option if you want to keep full resolution and if you're happy with the editing effects offered by it.
I have attached a zip file with the original MPO file, the file converted to SBS, one edited with the native gallery editor (High Contrast option), then 8 images edited with Pixlr-o-matic. I have optimized the jps files using GIMP on my PC for the sake of file size for this thread, usually however the pics were about a meg in size each.
Hope you guys enjoy editing your 3D pictures!!!!!!!!
Awesome man Thanx....
Nice,I got some work to do now lol

Conversion
Sorry if it's off topic a bit (which it is, or I wouldn't say that right?), but I can't find the result I'm looking for ANYWHERE. I just got an Aiptek 3D Camcorder, and it takes pictures not in .JPS, not in .MPO, but a regular side by side .JPG! I'm trying to find an online tool, or application (I'm on a Mac but I could probably run it in CrossOver if it's a Windows app) to convert FROM .JPG to either .MPO or .JPS. The end result is I want to create a wiggle animated GIF so that I don't need glasses to show people 3D pictures I've taken, so if someone even knows of a process to convert from .JPG to an animated GIF wiggle that would be even better. Thanks in advance!

Rename the jpg files to JPS. Viola! JPS is the same as JPG just has the JPS extension to show it's a STEREO (S) Jpeg. There is an application for windows to convert stereo images here:

Good luck!
Hi,
I have few days my first android phone - Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro with official ROM - Android 2.3.4. I tried to add a pictures (first approx 256x256 px pics) to my contact and found this stupid problem:
I cannot add a picture from the contact editing dialog - it looks like it works OK, I select the picture from the default gallery app, crop it etc., but after saving there is no picture - so I have to use reverse approach - open gallery, select pic, then choose the option to set as contact image etc.
This way it works but only with PNG files - I found this after several unsuccessful attempts. The JPG always failed - even with pictures from phone camera. But after converting the images to PNG format it works.
Although this is probably minor issue for many people, it is annoying (because my previous phone - SE K300i had no problem with JPG or PNG files).
Is this global bug of this Android version or is it only related to my phone model? Did you also encounter such problem?
thanks
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).
I see the gallery lets me switch between the close-up and wide view shots, for photos shot using live Focus. Is there a way to save both versions easily? All I see is an option called save as a new file but who wants to do that for every live Focus photo you take?
In my old phone I would have Google photos backup all my photos and then use the free up space option in Google photos to delete.
I have kids and take lots of photos and need a easy way to save both the close up and wide shots. Thanks!!

Hi, additionnal question , i though it was one single file with the 2 modes saved in it , but when looking at the exif infos with acdsee i didnt find any info about wide/close picture neither how to watch them like in the S9+ gallery are they saved in two separate files on my s9+' sdcard ?
Consider two similar images with a slight different. I want to be able to compare them IN FULL SCREEN MODE and delete the worse. Like this is easily available in camera roll (in iPhones). is there any android application that has this feature?
Simply rephrasing: an app in which photos appear and disappear at once when switching, with no transition animation while browsing (just like windws photo viewers). thanks in advance
