Hey guys, I have been searching a lot and I can't seem to find an app with this function.
All I want is to open up a camera app. Select a picture and overlay it on the camera/viewfinder. Then set the transparency of the picture to half or whatever feels right. Then align the new camera shot with the old picture and take a shot. This is one of the best ways to do a before after shot.
I have found few apps on the play store that do this function half-assed.
There is an app called "overlay camera" this apps looks pretty outdated but in it, you can overlay an image and set the transparency using the slider and take the picture. BUT when it saves the picture, it saves it WITH the transparent picture still overlaid on the camera. The transparent picture should only be used for alignment but this app saves the camera picture and the overlaid picture into one blurry mess of a picture.
There is another app called "Time Spirit" and in it you can create a photo lapse. But you can't overlay a picture from your gallery. It uses the last picture you took as an overlay for your next picture.
So does any app out there exists that will work or me?
anyone?

Does anyone know a camera app that uses the full screen of the tab?
With the integrated camera app not using autofocus it is mostly useless to me since i cant read any text i photograph.
I tried several other apps. They all use the autofocus and it works great, but they dont utilize the full screen of the tab.
The camera app in JM6 features touch-to-focus, and I have no problems making photos of text. Maybe i could post the apk + odex files, for testing on stock firmware.
Yes, the app works fine, its me that didnt function correctly.
You just have to hold the button down, it will autofocus and beep when done.
Thanks very much for thay info now alsi i Focus.

Another strong user of Vignette here.
I posted a topic on the use of Vignette over the stock camera App.
Vignette has so much more to offer and one special mention has to go with 'Zoom'. As you all know the default camera has no zoom but id you use Vignette it uses a very clever 'live crop' tool that works very much like a zoom.
An added benefit is you get to see the surrounding area you are cropping out of the shot..... AND the shot taken is so, so much better than the default camera App.
Much greater detail, cleaner, sharper focus and better colours.
Next is the settings..... there is an absolute MAMMOTH of settings to choose from.
I have one customized that gives me an 'ND Filter' at a touch of a button.
In my experience, if you're looking for the most options & filters, then Vignette is the way to go. But if you're looking to take the best possible "normal" photos, Camera360 is tops for that.
I don't know what it is, but Camera360 shots ALWAYS are clearer & much more detailed/cleaner looking in comparison shots against Vignette.

I must confess, although I have great admiration for Vignette, Camera360 Ultimate definitely does have some very good settings.
Of particular value I find the 'Tilt-Shift' to be fantastic. I also like the focus settings with it's 'Manual Focus' where you can focus on a subject then move the camera to another subject to throw the focus out.
So, my recommendation for photography would be Vignette & Camera360 Ultimate for taking the shot and Picsay Pro to post edit for even better image processed results.
I have 2 problems with MMS. Problem 1 is when I am sent a picture that has text with it the picture appears small and I cannot zoom in on the pic to see it, I must save attachment which is way to many steps in order to see a pic. If I am sent a pic by itself I can zoom it no problem. I think this problem has been asked many times so it's not my main goal of this post. My main goal is problem 2, which is MMS videos appear very small, even smaller than the pictures do when sent with text. If I were to save attachment and watch the video from my gallery it would be full screen. Why does the messaging app play it so small? Is there a way to make the messaging app use another player by default. The screen shots attaches are of picture with then without text then a video playing(smallest one.)
I've noticed the color of the thumbnails in the stock Samsung gallery app differ when they're actually enlarged. Anyone else notice this? It doesn't happen with third party gallery apps, but I'd prefer to keep the stock gallery app simply because it plays back the slomo video. If you haven't noticed, check it out. Watch the vibrant reds/blues slightly shift to a lighter red/blue.
Now, I've experimented with this, and noticed it does this when the "Adaptive display" setting is left on. However, leaving it on and testing this out with a third party gallery app, it worked perfectly. The display adapted and the colors matched. Of course the color will be the same once enlarged so as long as you change the display's screen mode to "AMOLED photo". However, I'd prefer the adaptive setting because I don't like the warmer white tones when using my phone for everything else besides photo editing.
Leaving it on "Adaptive display", the software should know when I am actually opening a photo and adjust the colors so they're accurate. But now I'm thinking that there's a glitch with the stock gallery. The adaptive display setting is working fine with third party gallery apps, just not that stock gallery app. Which is sorta ironic....
Thoughts?
i have the same.problem.. how to solve this ?? I want stock gallery too
In amoled photo or basic, when you use the camera or edit photos it automatically changes to Adaptive Display while doing those tasks.

This is exactly what is happening. When you're on the thumbnail view, the screen is set to oversaturate a lot, but when you actually click a photo to make it full screen, the adaptive display mode switches the screen calibration to a more accurate one, which is the change you're seeing. If you use a third party app, the screen will just remain in the oversaturated, not accurate calibration the entire time.
So what is solution, how to solve this? I want when I open the photo to see how it really looks on instagram and everywhere......

Put your display on Cinema, Photo or Basic as Adaptive changes the settings to look more vivid etc in gallery apps and isn't useful. Also i'd say it used more battery.
Couple of issues I have and wondered if someone could help.
The camera function places a huge grey chunk over 1/3 of the screen, with the capture button and settings. Can this be made transparent?
The pre-installws gallery app seems to have no means of separating photos. I've got my WhatsApp media jumbled with the photos I take and the other videos I've taken. Am I being silly or is this just a garbage attempt by Sony to revamp Android? Additionally, how can I change the default app that is opened through the camera, when trying to explore the media.
Thanks all

Change the resolution to a 16:9 resolution to get rid of the grey side. That's what 4:3 looks like on a 16:9 screen.
You can't change the default app from Sony's own camera. If you want to use photos from a camera app, use the Google camera app.

In album you can change how your photos are displayed, try the folder option from the left menu.
To change the default app,go to apps in the settings and click the app you want and clear default option.

no , you cant change the default gallery app from there. you can only do it by decompiling the apk and changing a line , or with an xposed module . sony camera doesnt give you the option to change the default gallery app that is launched from the sony camera

I have a Nexus 6p and I'm trying to apply a personal photo to the stock digital watchface (installed on watch by default). It doesn't seem to apply the photo.
This worked perfectly on my note 4 (I understand that it was a samsung phone), but i know when you pick your own photo it supposed to take you to a screen where you can crop and adjust how the photo will appear in the watchface. However that edit screen is not even loading up...just wondering if anyone on the board was having this issue or is there something i'm supposed to do on my Nexus to allow this feature to work. I would really love to apply my own photo to the digital watchface again.
Thanks all
Nothing?
No suggestions or anything?
I have the same problem I can only assume it's something to do with the google photos app
I have a solution! As expected, the Google photos app was the problem. I tried downloading various others with no joy, until I tried Gallery Pro: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.badpigsoftware.advanced.gallery
If you select this app when choosing your image, the crop image page comes up and you can select the image you want
Hope this helps
