Hi!
A friend of mine send his picture (jpg format) to me with a scenery background. On the PC it looks ok since I can enlarge and size the picture.
I can also crop his face out, size or enlarge without problem.
However, after saving the cropped closeup picture of his face I tried putting it on my PPC for photo dialing using Contact-ing but the picture only occupies a portion of the given space i.e I can hardly see his face.
Anyone knows how to make the cropped closeup larger?
Thanks
cant you do it with one of the millions of photo programs on the pc ?
RE
I tried using Win default PAINT program but cannot be done
Any free program to recommend?
Thanks
yeah if you want simple image editing
you can use the free and great program called
irfanview
if you want a more complex fullblown photo editor program for free
get Gimp (win32 version)
i'm sure you can find programs which can do many of the things you like
which run on the ppc too but imho it's likely to have less features and be harder to use then a pc program
Why not try Picasso 2 free from Google?
(I think it's in the Google Download Pack or something.)

Just bought an HTC Radar and I love it! So much faster and smoother than my previous android. However, there are a few things which I don't know how to do.
-How do I move files from the root directory of skydrive into a folder? I can move files from within a folder to another folder; I can move an entire folder to another folder, but I can't move files from the root directory. I can't figure out how to do this even when online with my computer.
-Under x-box live, it opens up to "Collection" whereupon it displays three games, Angry Birds Fruit Ninja and Doodle God. Is this somehow different from "spotlight?" I don't own any of those games.
-Is there a native ability to rotate images taken with the camera or do I have to install an app?
Minor questions I suppose. This phone is great.
Good question. I was dissappointed the skydrive app could not move them. Probably the best thing right now is to log onto skydrive via a pc and move them.
The games i think are just so you can try them out. They are the one's i think that are listed as top xbox live. i rely more on the marketplace then from within the games hub.
for the 3rd, i don't think i've ever taken a picture upside down till about 3 days ago and it was a video lol. was outside with my dog in the snow and didn't realize i had flipped the phone when i was picking up snowballs. I think you would need an app for it. Look at thumba photo editor. It will integrate under "apps" when you hit the ... by the picture it can resize, rotate, crop, flip and more + adjust and apply about 25 filters. Well worth the price.
Logging onto Skydrive via PC lets me move some files but not all of them. Strange. I just looked at two word files...I could move one of them from the root directory but not the other. There are three OneNote book files there that I can't move either.
Thanks for the tip about the photo editor; I'll have to try it later.
[Q] Where does VSCOCam store its photos?? It's "hiding" 1000+ of my photos!!

Hello everyone,
Sorry for the wall of text, long time lurker, first time posting at XDA here, hope to find a solution after days of trying on my own... I am HEARTBROKEN by vscocam on Android... :crying:
I've been using VSCOCam for 80% of my photos on my Nexus5 for the last year and half, I've taken thousands of photos and I want to back them up. The app works as follows:
Take photo using app > photo stored in internal app library > edit photo > export to android photo library (VSCOcam folder)
The VSCOCam folder is located inside /sdcard/DCIM/, but it only stores the exported/edited photos that you chose to export from the app. I cannot for the life of me find the "internal library" folder for the photos, I looked and looked and had no luck finding where the photos or any hints of the app dir itself... only the exported photos. When I looked around online apparently the iOS version has a backup feature for the internal app library when connected to iTunes, Android version ONLY has the "export" button within the app to act as a backup feature. Well that's not going to work because:
1. No select all (ctrl/cmd + A)function. I will not spend hours check marking and scrolling through thousands of thumbnails individually... makes me shudder thinking about it.
2. I will essentially be saving my photos twice or more on the phone, VSCOcam doesn't overwrite existing or even ask, it creates duplicates next to eachother.
3. Exported photos from the app loses all metadata... this one I could afford to lose but it'd be nice to have a date it was taken and not date it was exported.
In my desperation I even chatted with the costumer service staff of the company, no luck, no solution. Only export button. Apparently my cases is very isolated as I can't find anyone with the same problem as I do.... maybe I'm not that bright. :silly:
Even with my limited IT skills, I firmly believe There has to be a folder that stores all the jpg as they're taken by the camera. Instagram does it and so does almost every photo apps out there. I just need to locate that dir... Am I looking in the wrong places? Do I need to root? Please give me some advice on this!!
TL;DR - VSCOCam app is holding thousands of my photos, I can't find the directory that they're stored in. VSCO is telling me "there is no internal app folder." and tell me to spend hours exporting each one manually. I don't want to hate VSCOCam, it rocks, but this is breaking my heart!!!

the photos are in "/data/data/com.vsco.cam/files/images"

Oh wow thank you for this!!! I knew it!! :good:
I will try and root my phone tonight. I'll be following this guide.
So I guess after I root, I'm able to view the folders that were previously restricted using Android File Transfer?

i dont use android file transfer but you should be able to use es file explore to copy the photos to another folder that android file transfer can see
I'm rooted on android 5.1 and in ES File Explorer, cannot see com.vsco.cam in /data/data
I've searched for vsco, case insensitive, in root /
And only found the export directory!
Have they changed their storage? In effect, I can't even find the app!!
Bump!
I'm having the same problem. I really need to free up some space on my device, so I want to pull all my photos but I can't find them anywhere. LG Optimus 4X HD (P-880) with root access. I've checked the locations mentioned above, but with no luck. Any help would be awesome!
Up! I have the same problem than Falcon. I want to free some space but can't find the photos anywhere!
Bumping because I'd also like to extract photos that I've taken with VSCO. Although my problem is a little different, VSCO just crashes every time I try to open it and it only started happening the day after I started taking photos with it. The customer service couldn't help much except tell me that CM is an unofficial Android release and their app isn't optimized for it

Has anybody found a descent solution for this problem?
Vsco is a great for the filters but the android-app is horrible. Why can't we just export the original photo's or at least locate them on our device.

I thought I was deleting only one photo but deleted a whole album which was kind of frustrating. I was in album mode in the gallery and selected the album which only shows the first picture. That, and the fact that the confirmation dialog for both deleting an album and a single photo says "are you sure you want to delete this item?" make it confusing.
They should make it clearer that you are deleting a whole album by saying in the dialog "are you sure you want to delete this album of n pictures?" and making the album thumbnail look different than an individual picture.
I am not sure if this is an Alcatel thing or an Android thing but two small changes to the ui could prevent loss of important photos. They could also offer a recycle bin feature that you could turn on or off which would be nice.
Otherwise I love this phone. Truly an amazing device for $250.
Try another photo manager app. Made the same mistake myself. Luckily at the time I did it, I had the photos already copied to a PC and there wasn't many photos involved, maybe a dozen in the album. I no longer use the stock gallery. I now use Google Photos. There were a couple others I tried to use, but they wouldn't offer the capability to delete off the SD card, couldn't get privilege to delete.
If its that much of an annoyance. I always use 'quickpic', its the best gallery app for android IMO.
If you have a windows PC and the folder was on an external card, get the card connected somehow to the PC (not in the phone, but in an adapter so it can get a drive letter). Install the free version of Recuva and do a scan on the card. It should be able to recover most if not all files if nothing was written on top of them.
Hi
I have been looking for an app that can create a slideshow by selecting photos from a particular folder on my SD Card/device.
I've tried a few apps but firstly they only seem to show the last 30 pictures and not the entire content of the folder?
Second I cannot bulk select the photos and need to add them one at a time - but the apps still only show the last 30 pics and some apps make it so I select one at a time and then it makes me go back through the menus to find the folder (make sense?).
Is Android really restrictive in letting me do what I think is a fairly simple task, or is the a better app I haven't yet found?
Or am I better off doing it on a PC?
thanks
