Didn't see any options or settings in camera app for smaller file size or compression? I want to take photos for work and have to email multiple ones in 1 email. When i take photos they are like 2.8-3mb each! Need them to be more like 1mb each in size if possible?
I know in stock messaging app if you attach a photo you took with device camera it automatically makes the photo smaller in size so it will send via mms but no feature for email?
Camera settings>crop. Choose one of the smaller sizes before you take the picture.

Some of the photo's I've taken using my Nexus one I'd like to mms friends but the size is so outrageous because of the camera settings I use.
I simply want an application that I can use to convert a photo to something more reasonable. Thanks
not sure if this includes a resize option.

edit: nope no resize.
The inbuilt mms application will downsize it anyhow, isn't that what you're looking for?
I use Handcent. In the settings menu you can actually change the max size for mms. I notice that sending mms that is larger will not reach an iphone. :/
For other carries other than t-mobile unfortunately, cannot handle larger sizes. I have no problem sending pics at a max setting of 1.5M to other t-mobile customers. I seem to have the best luck with a 600k or 500k max. The program will still make them smaller but at least they won't max out higher than that. Hope this helps a little.
How would I go about compressing the file size in terms of Mbs used I look through my file manager and into dcim folder and look at all the pics I took and they go from 810kbs to 3mbs. And want to if there is a way to just have a app or something that I can do from the phone to compress the file that it does not take much "mbs" I think total I have about 200 mbs give or take of just pics and I do back up my pics. And same for video (i have about 20mbs give or take) I know about the settings in the camera and video to change the resolutions but I dont want to lose resolutions but not take up so much space. If any of this makes sense lol sorry if it does not lol.
If you crop an image it greatly compressed it. I don't know if any app to do this on multiple images.

There are free apps to shrink pics in the market.
I use Image Shrink Lite, but I've also used Reduce Photo Size. Both work well, both integrate into the gallery so when you get ready to send a pic, it gives you the option to first send the pic to the app to shrink its size (you pick the final resolution). Both preserve the original file, and save a copy
Image Shrink Lite works first time, every time. Reduce Photo Size didn't always seem to work, so ISL is now my go-to app.
Don't know about video.
About time Google fixed this stupid pix-elated contact picture sync, cant wait for ICS to come out even more after seeing all these bugs being addressed, Google FTW!!

Large photos
Android now supports high resolution photos for contacts. Now, when you push a photo into a contact record, the system processes it into both a 96x96 thumbnail (as it has previously) and a 256x256 "display photo" that's stored in a new file-based photo store (the exact dimensions that the system chooses may vary in the future). You can add a large photo to a contact by putting a large photo in the usual PHOTO column of a data row, which the system will then process into the appropriate thumbnail and display photo records.
Yeah its good to fix on this issue but it will be better to keep 512x512 display pic instead of 256x256

Click to expand...

Agreed 512x512 would be better, at least its an improvement.

Is the MMS picture quality bad irrespective of ROM, or is each ROM different?
I'm running JB 4.2.1 (Scott's CM10 ROM) and whenever I take a screenshot and send it through MMS it looks horrendous. Pictures fare a bit better for some reason, but not much.
Any ideas?
There is a file size limit for mms pictures. I'm not aware of what is is exactly (100kb?)
There are two main factors in jpeg file size. the first is the image size or resolution, the second is compression. The more compression the more artifacts in the image. Either way you are not going to be able to send a full quality 8mp pic via mms. Something has to give obviously.
I seem to recall that when I originally went from froyo to GB the mms pictures were smaller in pixel count, but better in quality when i sent them. I'm not 100% sure though.
I don't think it would affect pictures you receive though, that would be dependent on whoever sent you the photo.
It seems that T-Mobile MMS doesn't play nicely with the default .PNG screenshot format. They look fine on my phone, but once sent via MMS they are extremely blurry and almost completely illegible.
It's not a file size issue, as any other photos (at the full 8 megapixel setting) look great. So, my question is, can I change the default screenshot to JPEG, or does anyone know another permanent workaround?
For reference, the first image is the original screenshot, and the second is the screenshot as it gets sent/seen by the recipient.
Re: [Q] Changing Screenshot Default Format PNG -> JPEG
Use go sms it has an option to preserve mms quality.
