[Q] Pictures and the Pen? - Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm in the construction industry. It would be quite handy if I could take a picture of something and then write down notes and/or dimensions on the picture and then email the amended picture.
I know you can take a pic and that you can use the pen for all sorts of neat stuff. But nowhere have I seen an example of writing on a picture just taken. Is this possible?
Thanks

Yeah, you have to open up the picture in an editor like photoshop or any one with the ability to write. When you're done save it and email it

Maybe there's also a bundled app on your device

What device do you have? My LG-L9 (LGP769BK) phone comes with quick memo where I snap a screenshot and it automatically brings up a pen and other accessories.

Take a look at Evernote with Skitch. I'm pretty sure it'll do exactly what you're looking for.

Open snote then at the top right click the plus button to open a template for this example click the first template called "note". once the template is open' click the plus to the left of the Mic, not the plus at the top. Their is the option to take picture, take your picture, select the pin you want to use at the top left area, write on the pics and when you are done select setting at at the top right (three bars) and select export, then select. jpg and save. Now go to the save folder, it is saved on SD card in a folder called s note export. Now just email. Sounds long but its just click click click. And it is built in, no 3rd party app needed.

Better gallery for the Tab?

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.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using XDA App
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.
Using Large Image Viewer is very quick and displays photo's in greater detail.

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.

Photo Viewer

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.

Changing the lock screen to a camera image.

I have searched and followed the directions I have found, but I don't have the "done" option after cropping a picture...only a save option. Am I missing something? Can my personal images even be used?
By directions, do you mean
1. Long pressing on blank space on homescreen (stock touchwiz launcher) and selecting Lock Screen?
2. Going to settings>wallpaper>lockscreen?
When you do either one of them, an option should popup to take a photo from the gallery or another application. If you select gallery, you should be presented with most, if not all, the photos on your phone. If you select it, you may be asked to crop it and then in the upper rightmost of the screen, "Done" should be written. Hit that.
Are you following different instructions (not word for word)?
I get all the way to the cropping part and then the only option I have is to save the image.

right, so hit save at that point
When I click save, it sends me back to my home screen! lol
I just tried with Quickpic and when I save the image using that app, it flashes and shows the same screen I had right before I clicked save. It does produce another image, but isn't saved as a lockscreen wallpaper even though that is what I selected.
Has anyone else had this problem or is this simply an error on my part somewhere?
Settings > Wallpaper > Lockscreen
After you hit lockscreen, choose Gallery, then choose whatever pic you wish to use. Crop the picture how you wish, then hit 'Save' in the upper-right and corner. *Hitting save DOES NOT save the picture in gallery, it only saves the picture you crop as your wallpaper!*
Only mine isn't saving it as a lockscreen wallpaper
Let me try is as a homescreen wallpaper....even though I want it as a lockscreen one.
Of course it worked as a homescreen!
BUT....I want it on my lockscreen. lol

....I did it that way first.
Thank you all for trying to help. If it worked for everyone else, I must have a setting different somewhere. Or extreme user error. lol
I finally just uninstalled QuickPic and it worked. It seems QuickPic was taking over for the Gallery.
You must have selected Quick Pic as the default app somewhere along the way.

Help with gallery

I use wallpaper wizadrii for my background images. However I noticed that all my pics come up sideways if I had taken the pic while holding the phone portrait. Does this mean I have to take l my pics landscape style? I sure hope not. Including use my phone a lot to take pictures.

No you don't have to take the pictures in landscape mode in fact you can rotate the pictures pretty easily.
1. Open gallery and navigate to where the pictures are that you want to rotate.
2. Hit the physical menu button on your phone then chose the "Select item" option
3. Select the pictures you want to rotate
4. Then tap the options button in the top of the far right hand corner
5. Select "Rotate left" or "Rotate Right"
6. Repeat steps 3-5 if you want to rotate the pictures again (For example rotate the pictures another 90 degrees to the left or right)
Hope this helps .
That helps a ton. I knew that I could rotate them in gallery. The weird thing is that they are the correct way in the gallery. But when I open wall paper wizardrii the ones that I took are all on their sides.
I appreciate your help.

Try going into gallery without accessing the wallpaper wizard first, then finding the correctly rotated picture you want and selecting the "Set picture as" option, then selecting either "Home screen wallpaper" or Home and lock screens" or "Lock screen wallpaper".

[Q]How does these trick pictures in whatsapp work?

If you are an avid user of Whatsapp, then you must have encountered one of those situations in which you get a picture and when you open it, the picture turns into something else.
For example- you get a picture. the thumbnail shows a pic of a girl, and when you tap on it, a picture of a bear appears instead.
I've found out that pictures like these are made using apps like FhumbApp(iOS) and MagiApp(Android).
Wasap Fake Image Trolling, this app also claims to do the same
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xplosivelabs.wasap
How exactly does these apps conceal one picture inside another one?
Hehehe thanks for this app
