HTC Touch Pro Camera Templates

Hi,
I thought I would be able to crack this one for myself. But somehow I can't get it to work.
I would like to make some Camera Templates of my own. However the "how to" descriptions I have found won't work even though they should.
This is what I have done:
I made a animated gif (using Gimp I was able to see the structure of the deliverd templates)
The first picture (in the animated gif) is the template with a black area for the actual photo
2 The second layer is an empty transparent layer
3 This is a transparent layer with a a black area for the actual photo surrounded by white.
What happens is first I don't see any open arears while taking a picture. After taken a picture anyway the photo will be shown but not in the arears that I want wanted it to bb.
What am I doing wrong?
I have googled for two nights now and I have tried several ways to create this (GIMP and Photoshop CS3) I'm on some kind of track but is it the right one? This shoud have been so easy to create right?
Regards,
AJ

I cracked it ;-)
The secret is in how you save it.
This is how you do it:
Make sure that the background is set on transparent.
Take any picture and cut out for example a hole for the face by making this area black.
Make a second layer and make the same area black
Now draw a white line around this black area (not sure if you really need to do this so try it out)
Now create an animated gif that only runs once.
Now the big secret, I use Photoshop for this example but you'll probably regonize these settings for other programs
color reduction: Windows
dither algorythm: Pattern
Transparency: No transparency dither
Interlaced
Colors: 256
Matte (I made this black play around with it to see what happens)
Web Snap 0% (if you change this you get a more ghostly effect)

AJ

These kind of things are very easy to make.
Just go to a website. Print screen it and past it in the 640 x 480 canvas. Then modify it until it is to your satisfaction.
Use the rectange tool to create the black area that will be used as the hole for the picture.
Now duplicate the rectange and go to "Layer Style" choose "Stroke" and make a white outside stroke of 1 pixel.
Now all you need to do is create an animated gif.
Go to "Windows" and choose "animation"
Make 2 frames in the animation box.
The first one is the picture with the black area
The second one is nothing but the black area with the white stroke, and save this as an animated gif.
color reduction: Windows
dither algorythm: Pattern
Transparency: No transparency dither
Interlaced
Colors: 256
Matte black
Web Snap 0%

Hi, I'm sorry for this noobish question, but where do these things go?
I saw somewhere on the internet that there should be a couple of "beeldthema's" or templates standard on this phone, but I only have the one of "Woman best buy top 10" and "MAN Person of the year" (this is 1 template with 2 pictures)
Is there a website where i can download these templates the other touch pro's have? I saw there was one on some Touch Pro's with a cook and some others too.
Thanks in advance

Hi, Ali3nSt0rm
On the Touch pro, and my gues is on the Diamond as well these things go in "my documents" "Templates"
(dutch)of "mijn documenten" en waarschijnlijk heet het in het Nederlands ook template en anders iets van Beeldthema ofzo.(/dutch)
Or you could just search your device for gif files and you'll find the spot where to put them.
For the internet:
Search for "camera templates" and you'll find lot's of free templates (like this one: http://xda-v.6te.net/)
You can also Google: [camera template site:xda-developers.com] and find a lot more templates.

[REQ][widget] picture frame mod

I'm after an interactive version of the stock android picture frame, one that will enable me to jump to the picture's location in gallery.
I know htc has this in their sence, so it should be possible to port it. Unfortunately I don't have the dev skills..
Can somebody help me out?
Regards

It's not what you requested, but I use Desktop Visualizer to make shortcuts of all sizes to apps with my images.
As for a picture frame mod, it'd be great if pic frames could be placed with any sizes chosen and have many shortcut options, instead of only apps like I do with DesktopVizualizer.

thanks mate, its a great app.
Unfortunately for my purpose the original image has to be edited to get the photoframe...
I'd like to be able to change photo as I please, so this might be a bit cumbersome for my use. On the plus side, it can be set up to link to anything such as quickdial or text, and that is nice...

App for taking similar pictures using reference from previous picture

So i am hoping to find a camera app that will help me take near identical pictures each day. I am doing a weight loss challenge with some friends and want to take a picture each day and be able to string everything together into a video showing weight loss over time.
I can do my best to stand in the same place and snap a pic. But ideally I would like to be able to overlay yesterday's pic with transparency in a camera app so that I can have a reference point for distance, position, zoom, etc. For the next pic. Basically so that whoever is taking the pic can line up the daily pic with the exact position of the previous pic by overlapping the real image with yesterday's image..... Hopefully I'm making sense.
I've been searching for an app that will let me do this. Does one exist? or one of you bright people out there could write one and make $0.99 of of me. Any thoughts? Much appreciated!

Gallery PHOTO EDITOR Eye Dropper Missing

After switching to the Galaxy S10 phone, I noticed that the gallery photo editor application is robbed of its best features. it's so frustrating when these manufacturers just arbitrarily decide to screw up a good thing.
I constantly and I mean constantly use gallery photo editor and the eyedropper feature to select a custom color and then use the pen to edit out things in images I don't visible. I make them disappear by writing over them in the exact custom colors that already exist in the image. I choose that color with the eyedropper!
Now it seems you either have to overlay a text box over the top which flat out doesn't work because the new text box interface is so bulky and ridiculously lacking because it only has a very very few options. The NEW UNIMPROVED paint feature has ONLY 10 or so canned multicolor designs you can print with... WHO WANTS TO PAINT WITH MULTICOLOR DESIGNS? (KINDA DUMB, but okay)
1. Please don't tell me to go download it because I already look for it and it isn't there.
2. I already tried clicking the upper right corner and clicking advanced and then clicking the pencil to edit and then going through all the options inside that area and it's not there.
3. I've tried using the key combination to create a screenshot and several third-party apps to create screenshots in my efforts to find the eyedropper and it is not there.
4. Please don't tell me to go download Photoshop or some other app I don't want too; I just want my photo editor eye-dropper back!!
I use it constantly and I mean constantly 50 times a day! I take screenshots and edit out ads and things like text and hearts and stars to indicate the item is a favorite etc. using the eyedropper to select the custom background color and then the pen to write over the top of whatever it is you don't want visible makes it blend right into the background... THIS IS SO UNIMAGINABLY BASIC!
I be already spent weeks hunting for where the ability to add an image inside another image and finally was able to find it obscured in stickers area! I've searched and searched every possible conceivable section for any imaginable way they might have hid in the eye dropper and I just can't find it!!
I just want my eye dropper back! It's causing massive problems because I can't do what I need to do 100 times a day!!
Can someone within the limitations outlined above 1 through 4 please PLEASE tell me where the eyedropper went?!?

I'm in the SAAAAMMMME BOAT.
I manage several different social media accounts, and have used this feature FOR YEARS to edit out extraneous things. It was simple and easy.
Weirdly enough, it was there in November, so it kept my main sampled color as an option, WHICH IS THE ONLY WAY I can basically continue to do what I do. This has been a nightmare.
If you find anything out, PLEASE let me know.
I'll also do the same.

You mean this?

To do this?

Thanks ?
That option does not show up if you have selected the edit dialogue box to pop up after you screencap, as it used to.
But this is very helpful. THANK YOU!

It's on the color palette now

I used this Text on the photo photo app. Downloaded from the Play Store. Developed by Sertanta, The company has many programs for editing photos and video materials. The program is absolutely simple and informative, it is easy to understand it, anyone who has ever held a smartphone. It downloads quickly, and there are no conflicts with the antivirus. Editor in Russian language. The main menu greets the user when opening the app. It allows you to edit a photo from your phone's gallery, or shoot it directly through the app. After that, you can leave your current captions on the photo. The text can be either classic or any, even the most exotic. There is a fill of letters, in any color. It is also possible to tilt the label. I used this app when I was learning how to make demotivator images. They were very popular at one time. Now, of course, there are many other more complex and sophisticated applications, but I still keep this just in case you need to quickly cheer up your friends or family.
