is there a photo viewer that will read 100% of the quality from a >10 megapixel jpg?
most viewers out there top out before and omit the remaining details so the picture quality on screen is below that of the actual picture.
Just pictures allows you to display at original resolution, need to tweak the settings and choose original file size as the option

I use quickpic on my Evo. It doesn't do online accounts like Facebook and Flickr, but I believe it shows you the high res image. Also, it's registered as a gallery app, so you can set it to open pictures by default. Just pictures doesn't do that for some reason. It's very fast and light weight.
just pictures just fails on the large megapixel pictures when "original resolution" is selected.
try Large Image Viewer..it's still a bit buggy but generally works.
I have found QuickPic to be te best on the larger screens. Just wish it could link to my Picasa account.

I don't know how you have it working, but it doesn't even launch on my Transformer.

Quickpic seems good but it doesn't show the level of zoom, so it's impossible to be sure when 100% has been reached.

I am making some custom wallpapers for my Incredible, and am running into a few problems.
I am using photoshop and saving my pictures as JPEGs. They are 960x800 px.
They pretty big files, usually 1.5meg.
When I put the pictures on my sdcard, and I go to change the wallpaper, I go to gallery, then find the picture I have put on, and when I select the picture, it acts like it goes to the resize portion of the process, but then it just goes back to the gallery.
I have also tried loading the wallpaper straight through ASTRO file manager, with no luck either.
I'm sure I am missing something terribly simple, but I can't find it online.
Any help would be great. Thanks
There is an attachment of one of the images.
The problem is that we are 480x800

i dont think thats the problem. i cant even view the photo in gallery right. is there a limit to the size of the jpg?
The image that uploaded to the website is only 92.3kb. Just downloaded it and set it as a wallpaper no problem
1.5mb for a 960x800 image is HUGE.
I just played around with it for a bit and I think I figured out what your doing. Is your image properties set to cmyk (32bit)? That would explain why your file size is so big. Change it to rgb (24 bit). I'm thinking the android platform doesn't play to nicely with cmyk files.
I'm going to upload my cmyk file and see if this website automatically converted it to rgb on upload, which is what im thinking happened to your upload here.
Edit: yep that's exactly it. The website converted it, the attachment that was uploaded was 1.2mb and I just downloaded it; 94.3kb.
Awesome thanks for your help. I will switch it to rgb when I get home and try it out and report back

i highly recommend using wallpaper set & save instead of the stock wallpaper chooser.
Hi,
Do you guys know a better photo gallery to use with the Tab, as the stock one is sluggish and resizes photos, meaning that if I zoom in I cannot see any details, the pic gets blurry.

Custom Gallery3D build (from source code) by Number22, do a search on XDA.
or:
JustPictures (on the Market).
Cheers
The two I use are:-
JustPictures! ~ View Flicker, Picassa and all pictures on the Tab.
Works much quicker than the Gallery App and displays much more information including the total photo's in any one folder, when the folder was last added to and EXIF data.
Large Image Viewer ~ View photo's at full resolution.
It is quite surprising just how much detail is lost with the stock Gallery App.

True. But I believe that Number22's Gallery3D build fixes this.
Justpictures messes up the wallpaper crop for the tab, the original gallery is better for that...
Original gallery doesnt mess up the crop but suffers from artifacts and errors when cropping. Just pictures doesnt suffer the same but makes incorrect crops. Number 22 gallery apk fixes both but suffers from fc errors. You're doomed!!!!!!

That's the main reason why I prefer Large Image Viewer which does not loose any detail zoomed in.
Large ismage viewer is great. I started using it as the main app for photos.

I use Large Image Viewer to view high resolution images. it's free in the Android market.
Another +1 to Large Image Viewer. I tried Just Pictures and noticed nasty artifacts on my photos.

TY for the tips large image viewer is beautiful
Try out Fish Bowl Photo Viewer. Its cool.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
Fish Bowl Photo Viewer has exactly the same problem as most image viewers: it won't show images at full resolution.
I've only ever found two full-resolution image viewers: Large Image Viewer (noted above) and QuickPic (currently available on Market as a beta). The latter has a less buggy interface (hidden files can be toggled back to hidden state, for instance), but neither of them comes with a proper directory browser or cbz/cbr/cb7 support, and neither one can perform the other infrastructure tasks that Gallery does (i.e. selecting crops of images for use in the contact manager), so I have three viewers installed: QuickPic, for high-quality images, the hacked Gallery3D app (to keep other apps working), and Perfect Viewer (for viewing lower-res images, cbrs, and finding images by filesystem path instead of trying to pick them out of a gallery list).
I'm stil looking for a replacement for Perfect Viewer, as I'm not all that enamored of the interface, but the only other similar app I found (ACV) had major dithering artifacts visible that bothered me even more.
Sorry, I misremembered. I stopped using ACV because it didn't fill the screen (and I didn't want to deal with the occasional distortions from Spare Parts). It was jjcomics viewer that had dithering artifacts.
I've seen where the continuous shots get stored in a diff directory and they have their own naming scheme that clashes with names of other photos. What's the best to get all these photos off my phone in an orderly fashion.

I have Google+ installed purely for the auto photo sync. Any new camera shots are uploaded behind the scenes.
So when I take a picture and swipe left to view it, it now takes me through the photos app rather than the standard gallery. I read that clearing the defaults on the Google+ app might work....but it doesn't. Please help as I desire the old gallery compared to the new photo one. Is there a way to change?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
AFAIK, there isn't. The Photos app has replaced the old Gallery app as the standard image and video library app.

There hasn't been a gallery for a few versions now. Download QuickPic or push gallery.apk.

Will that change what Google Camera opens with though?
Can somebody check this out for me?
When I take a burst of photos with the built in app, when reviewing the burst, I can scroll through all the photos. But, in my photo list it shows as one and shares as one photo (the main one).
I see no options in or outside of the burst to save all photos.

I use the HTC gallery and when I open up the burst shot all images are separated as individual pics. But I also see no way to separate them in Google photo app

I found it by searching apk mirror HTC gallery. I'm using gallery version 9.51.755029 download and install from your internal storage
Am I the only one taking bursts?
Sent from my 2PZC5 using Tapatalk
With Google Photos, I can only share the pic designated as the main photo (the thumbnail with the white dot on top). Can't figure out how to split the burst shots separately.
With HTC Gallery v.9.51.744639, the burst shots are automatically separated.
