Hey,
I copy three resolutions of an image to my surface: 6099x4066, 1152x768 and 1366x911
The full resolution picture is not as sharp as the other two pictures. Why? Also if I zoom in and zoom out in the full resolution picture, the image looks horrible. I need to go to the overview and then click on the picture again to the it normal (but not so sharp). Whats the problem?
I want to convert my photos to a tablet resolution but 768px is to small for the future and the full resolutions makes problems now.
Best regards,
neon
Hi, I dont have one and was just trolling on this section of the Forum as I was thinking of buying one, but it might be due to the picture having to resize and optimize to fit the screen? It might be but its just a guess.
Ok, but the other versions must also be resized and ony the really big version has this problem.
It could be because the Big one has to either decompress or compress to fit, can remember which. >.<

Hi all,
I recently upgraded to WM6 (file name is XDA_EXEC_WWE_20202_20307_11500.exe). The results were all good as I really like the new "glass" like interface. However, the camera now has a "2M" option which displays the resolution as 1600x1280 which appears to be one of the few 2meg resolution sepcifications out there. The pictures taken also have the resolution of 1600x1280 and don't appear to be stretched or skewed in any way which would be evident if resolution of a smaller pictures was increased disproportionately. Does this mean that camera's resolution is limited only by software? or is it some kind of glitch?
Any feedback would be most appreciated.

Hi,
The Camera CMOS is only capable of 1.3MP, you get 2MP by software interpolating. Basically the CMOS captures a 1.3MP shot and the software resizes and fills in the gaps by guessing what should be there by using complex algorithms to analyze the original picture.
If you want to know more search the Wiki......................wikipedia that is!

Yes its done by interpolation. Even the old WM5 camera app already has this option.
Hello i was wondering which is the optimal size for photos and films to fill/fit the screen.I guess you will say its 800x480 but if its so please tell me the best software to resize them.Thanks a lot.
P.S I searched around but for pics i couldnt find a resizer software with the desirable output size i am sure you know better.
Yes, the best size is 480 X 800 for photos (Portrait) and 800x480 for videos (landscape)
For resizing you can find MANY MANY apps floting around. But keep in mind that if the original photo doesn't have the right proportion and you resize it to 480X800 you'll get some distortion. The best way to achieve a good result is to resize you picture so that one of its sizes fits your phone, and the other size is bigger. Then, you simply CROP the picture to 480X800
Same rule applies for videos too...
Finally keep in mind that if you try to ENLARGE a photo, the more you enlarge it, the more distortion you'll have on the final image... Generally speaking avoid to resize anything for more than 150% as the final result will be distorted.
When you want to play video you can use the Video Encoding GUI. Works for me on the Blackstone
Here's a question- Is it possible to take/capture videos from the camera of the HTC Topaz in widescreen formats? I'm able to take pictures in widescreen formats (By widescreen, I mean that it uses up the entire screen when it generates a preview of the picture and then saves it in dimensions that are the same proportionally ), but it'd be great to do the same with video. Any answers as to whether or not this is possible on this deivce? I've seen it done on a couple of other HTC devices, or at least attempted... Any thoughts? Thanks!
I am not sure it is possible right now.
One thing you may not be aware of is that the widescreen picture mode is faked. All the phone is doing is cropping the real 5 Megapixel 4:3 screen ratio picture into a widescreen format. It is not as bad as a digital zoom but you are still losing pixels.
Whether it's possible or not....it's pointless.
Switching the camera to "widescreen mode" just reduces the number of vertical pixels.
You might as well record with the most number of pixels and crop afterwards.
i made some photo's in 3d on the o3d, but in gallery they wont show fullscreen. how can i fix this? i ofcource want to view the 3d on the full screen size.
What do you mean by not full screen? Pictures are taken in a 4:3 aspect ratio so you will always have black bars on the sides.

Is there a way to change that aspect ratio then?
I dont know a way either, but i think it is ennoying and i would appreciate a solution as well!
Sent from my LG-P920 using XDA App
Can you explain whats the problem?
You will always have black bar on sides since the photos are cinverged to give stereoscopic 3d effect.
we stil do not have 3d steroscopic viewers in android market and until that happens we cant see the full screen you want.
Ofcourse O3D does not support portrait 3d.
However even if you take 2d photos they will have black bars on sides. So this is a viewer issue.

Ofcource? On the evo 3d portrait 3d works...although its not the greatest way.
And the black bars are not required for the 3d effect. I think its the camera app that does something with the photos made...wich makes it with black bars in the gallery.
Hmm.. I downloaded stereoscopic gallery from market. Has many options. Choose lg real 3d and it shows the pics with same effect. black bars.
Its the ratio factor of the camera.
photos are 4:3, the screen is nearer 16:9, the black bars are meant to be there, if they weren't you would have some of the picture cropped off from the top and bottom and it would be a lower resolution
I for one do not want this. Keep it as it is!

i dont understand...the evo 3d makes photo's with less megapixels and they fill the complete screen and resolution....
at least it could be modified so the image is zoomed in a bit?
i do not want those black bars even if the photo quality goes back a bit.
The aspect ratio is more relevant than the resolution. Photo's are taken in a standard 4:3 aspect ratio for printing purposes. Hell, if you take pictures in the native screen resolution they would be 16:9 and thus fullscreen but would only be 0.4 megapixel. The Evo3D either takes photo's in a 16:9 aspect ratio or crops pictures to fit the entire screen.
Since you can't change the aspect ratio and you can't zoom in the gallery your only options would be to find an app with which you can crop pictures on your phone or transfer them to your pc, crop them in something like Photoshop and put them back on your phone. You can use the built in image editor but the problem is you can't specify an exact ratio so you have to crop by sight which can be a bit tedious. Once you got the right spots though it's not that hard.
Take a picture, then choose Edit (Bewerken, bottom option in the left menu). When you're in the editor you choose Edit (Bewerk) again from the left menu (top option) and then pick the Choose (Kies) option (left option). Now you have a rectangle in the center of the image. Stretch the rectangle to fit the entire picture by touching a line and dragging it in the right direction. Then you take the top of the rectangle and drag it down five steps. Do the same with the bottom but drag it only four steps. Then choose Crop (Bijsnijden) from the right menu (middle option) and save the image. You should now have a perfect fullscreen image.

The image viewer is the real problem for watching 3D images. I have saved the 3D images as jpg in my computer and edited with photoshop increasing the height of the image to suite 16:9 resolution. To be precise the resolution I kept for the edited image was 4096 x 2304 and saved the image as jpg file again. Now when I watched the image in 3DTV (LG cinema 3D 47")it was perfectly filling the screen with good clarity as a side by side format. I opted the 3D option for side by side format. The 3D experience for the image was really nice with a full screen one 3d image. Now I tried to watch it with my handset Optimus3D. There when I opted for 3d side by side format, the instrument combined bothe left and right side images to a single images keeping 2 broad black borders on both the side. Now with the experiment I find that the 3d image viewing programme in the handset is not properley done for watching full screen mode. Camera is not at all a problem. I think LG will have to look in to this for rectifying the same in the forthcoming firmware updates...
thanks
That's strange. When I crop the images on the phone to the same resolution as you they're displayed fullscreen in the image viewer.
What happens when you change the extension back to jps?
So I love my pixel 2 and its google photos integration, I also like how when you take a burst/portrait photo it saves the original under the same photo (you open the photo and the 2 photos are at the bottom.) Now I have been for the longest of time just taking my photos in a 16:9 but with such a good camera I want all the pixels I can, so I switched to 4:3 but I HATE 4:3 so damn much, so my question, how do I save the original 4:3 photo but have a 16:9 photo taken by default too, cropped properly and selected as the `default`?
If you hate 4:3, just change the default to 16:9 in the camera settings? Sorry, I don't think the official google camera app supports dual formats. However, you could probably automate it with something like Tasker. If (new photo detected), send to (photo resizer), for example.

I never thought of tasker, Ill look into this soon, I hate 16:9 but throwing away data seems stupid and poor practice.
Update, I have tasker doing it automatically but since I take landscape and portrait photos this doesnt really work, someone mentioned that I can just offload this work to my pc, which I will do. Will edit this post with tasker info soon
Just wanna ask if anyone here remembers back when phone screens all used the 4:3 aspect ratio? I hate the new 18:9 - it's just too wide for most content viewing.

Dont you always crop the pictures anyway
With 4:3 you have more image vertical, horizontal is the same, so you have more to crop from :good:
