Photo Tools: compress, resize - Apps on Google Play
The all-in-one tool app for your images. Compress, crop, resize, and much more.
play.google.com
For a pretty long time, I have been looking for an app or service that can show me the exact hex code for a colour or shade in a picture. I had found an online service imagecolorpicker that does a good job.
But having an app that would do this offline would be great for privacy.
Finally found Photo Tools. It does exactly that, and works offline! The following two features (among many others) are pretty unique to this app. Check it out.
• Color picker tool:
This tool helps pick a color from an image. This can be used by graphic designers to extract color from the image and use it in their art. The user can get to know about the color name along with the color hex code.
• Extract colors tool:
This tool helps to extract the majority of colors from the image. Colors can be easily copied to the clipboard by tapping on it. You then use that color to draw or paint in other apps.
You'll find more such unique apps here:
Unique Apps for Android
In this post, I will include some unique apps I have found that do not have competing alternatives (or let's say, I haven't found anything close enough to compete). 1. FolderSync 2. appSelector 3. Photo Tools 4. Hermit I will keep updating this...

A memory space wasting application "Photo Tools: compress, resize". Sample 4.2 MB JPEG file converts to 10.3 MB WEBP.

I have seen similar problems with other apps too. For example, if I crop an image, the cropped image file is significantly larger than the original image.
I didn't try the other tools in this app, but the two features I highlighted are definitely unique, and are the reason why I installed this app (and also made this post).
If you like to know the hex code of a particular colour or shade you see in an image, these tools are extremely handy in letting you know the exact colour code. I use them for customising the colours in my phone.

In this case, the application probably uses the lossless writing option.

I am looking for a tool to edit the photos I take with the built in camera on the device itself. I need: crop, resize, color correction (white balance, hue, saturation, etc). Are there tools for WM5 I could use ?
XnView Pocket
Try the following piece of software:
http://www.pdagold.com/software/detail.asp?s=1275
I have found this quite useful for editing photos and images on my wizard. Best of all it's free!
Since it is categorised as a "viewer": Does it have the editing functions I mentioned? Unfortunately the homepage is in french and I have no idea what the fudge is going on.
Yes, you are able to edit photos/images.
The options available under tools are:
convert - change file format / quality
crop - crop images
resize - define image size
adjust - brightness / contrast / gamma / red / green / blue
rotate - -90 degrees, +90, +180 / vertical flip / horizontal flip
sharpen/smooth - allows to sharpen / smooth image
The link should take you to pdagold.com which is in english.
I think you will find it has most if the functions you require. Try it, it's free!
Thanks, I'll give it a try and report back.
Pocket Artist by consuit software is, in my opinion, the best piece of graphics software for a pda. hands down.
spb imageer works good also. So does the one by rosco...I like to take pics then crop right away or take away redeyel both of the above progz will pdo it fo ya.

Anyone have a recommendation for a good photo editing app? There is an excellent one for iOS called Photogene, but the developer says he does not plan to do a version for Android.
I've been disappointed with the PhotoShop apps. I'm looking for a straight photo editing app, not something to create strangeness.
Suggestions? TIA!
I'm using Photo Editor by dev.macgyver -- it's basic, sure, but it does what I need it to do and it does not produce all kinds of ' funkygraphs'. It does a sepia, black and white, brightness correction (both linear and gamma-based), (channel-based) color corrections, resizes as well, I think, and so on. I didn't like the mobile Photoshop app either. Photo Editor is free, so give it a whirl and let us know what you think.
PS: I sound like a second-hand car salesman, hahaha. I am not affiliated in any way, shape or form with the aforementioned app or its developer.

Haha jk. The Photoshop elements app or w/e is probably the most detailed editing app available for now, but i read there are issues with the resolution and dpi settings being capped ridiculously low. Also it isn't a free app, its $9.99 i think.

Hands down, the "best" photo editing app is PS Touch. It even comes with GREAT tutorials (15 of them I think).
If you want something free there's a plethora of them.
Photo Editor is the one I use on my Samsung GS3, PS Touch on the Infinity.
Try Perfectly Clear, just came out for Android recently. Pretty darn good at automagically fixing up photos plus there are manual corrections you can do too. Wish it had cropping though.

I use the "fix dark" tool in Perfectly Clear regularly and it does a fine job even at full resolution. Considering how expensive the desktop plugin is the app is an amazing bargain.

Thanks for this tip! Like others, I’d noticed this but never really knew how to work with it.
Im sorry, but as I'm not able to create external links on XDA yet, you have to enter the urls on your own. If I had been able to create a DevDB project, I would have done it.
HybridLauncher
HybridLauncher is a completely new type of Android-Launcher!
It's designed to be highly configurable and innovative.
Screenshots:
As I am currently not allowed to insert images, please have a look at hybridlauncher.bricklore.de
In the past, the underlying principles of Launchers have significantly differed from those of desktop computers. In particular, the homescreen was only able to show Widgets and Apps, usually arranged on a grid, and usually only able to display a finite (small) number of icons at once.
We adapt the concept of desktops to smartphones by providing a homescreen whose capacity is limited only by your phone's memory and without constraints on the type of items it can show.
We improve the concept of desktops by providing not only completely free positions, but also arbitrary tilts, sizes, and aspect ratios of the items' icons. The homescreen's size is dynamically adapted, such that an infinite number of icons can be displayed.
Technically, the homescreen is simply a folder. Actually, every folder can be used as homescreen (and there's an effectively unlimited number of those). Other folders can be directly accessed (the HybridLauncher also doubles as a file manager) and individually designed, just like the homescreen.
This is solved in way robust against changes of your ROM:
The layout of every folder is stored in small file (".layout") directly within the folder. Thus, if you change your ROM, by reinstalling the Hybrid Launcher, you instantly recover your homescreen (desktop).
HybridLauncher is available in two different versions: "Lite" and "Full". While you can enjoy full functionality with the Lite version, it shows a permanent notification in the statusbar.
Unique features of the HybridLauncher include:
Unlimited homescreens with individual backgrounds
Real files on the homescreen just as on the pc-desktop
Freely positionable items with optional grid or magnetic axes
Items individually adjustable
Item size and rotation continuously adjustable
Dynamic layout-size
Direct execution of shell-scripts
Links to other folders and files
"Open with" dialog as known from PC
Highly adjustable
Available for Android version 2.1 up to 5.0+
Data privacy is our highest priority
(HybridLauncher does not require internet access, no data will be submitted)
For maximum transparency, let us explain why HybridLauncher requires the following permissions:
VIBRATE: When you long-press Items, your phone will vibrate.
WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE: HybridLauncher is a filemanager. Thus, it should have permission to write on sd-cards. In particular, if you want to use a folder on the sd-card as homescreen, then a .layout file needs to be created on the sd-card.
WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE: This is generally the same as WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE, but on newer devices (5.0+) the access to the external sdcard is blocked by default and needs this extra permission.
READ_CONTACTS: Contacts can be placed on your homescreen (e.g. to open the SMS app quickly), so HybridLauncher has to access your contacts data. HybridLauncher will not submit any data (have a look at the source code).
SET_WALLPAPER: An app needs this permission to change the background image.
SET_WALLPAPER_HINTS: For background parallaxing the system has to be told the size of the wallpaper.
Information:
HybridLauncher is available in the Google PlayStore, or on my website (hybridlauncher.bricklore.de).
HybridLauncher Lite:
Play Store: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.fluxnetz.hybridlauncher_lite
Mirror: bricklore.de/android/hybridlauncher/release/hybridlauncher_lite.apk
HybridLauncher is OPEN SOURCE and licensed under GPL v3, you can view the source here: git.bricklore.de/hybridlauncher

Thanks for your feedback!
I have just reimplemented the wallpaper scaling, which should fix the problem.
Please have a look at the update and tell me if it worked for you!
Best regards
Since your launcher is open source could you please add it to F-Droid? Would make it easier for people not using play store or gapps like myself to keep it updated than periodically checking your website

Looking good
It's nice to see a launcher that offers something slightly different. So many of them just seem clones of each other. The ability to place icons anywhere and not be constrained to a grid is something I've not personally seen before.

Although it seems quite a bit of work to do, I will hook myself into it right now.
--UPDATE--
It's not that easy for HybridLauncher, as the git repo is hosted on my own server which makes things more difficult (no https, minor problems). Additionally fdroid is not able to build from these souces without "understanding" the exact instructions (One has to preprocess the .java and .xml files in a special manner)
Unfortunately I wasn't able to figure out how I can add a prebuild binary .apk to fdroids repository. If you could guide me, I would supply those binaries until I have fixed my server issues.

Yeah I have noticed the same thing, and thats why I made HybridLauncher.
I wanted to try something completely different.
F-Droid
I'm not a developer so I'm afraid I can't be much use troubleshooting your issues adding your app to F-Droid. I'll ask my friends who are and see what they say. You could also ask on the F-Droid forums,they are always willing to help add a new app
Thank you, really good work.

Oh, thanks for making this app!
It would be so great to let the user specify the path to a file to edit!
I mean, if you don't have read permissions for a folder, but can access a file inside it, that's the best way to go, I think.
What do you think?
Does the macro system have compatibility with ASM(ASseMbly) code? If not, could you add it?
<b>E-Soft</b>, the maker of <b>MatCon - Material Icon Maker </b> brings to you an awesome way of editing your photos and design icons using lots of powerful tools in <b>LayerMask</b> for Android. LayerMask uses the concept of layers along with many pro level tools to design creative and innovative photos, icons and many more.
Play Store Link : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mask.layer.kali.ari.com.layermask
LayerMask allows you to layer, mask and blend any number of photos in layers to generate a final photo which will be a piece of Art. LayerMask is the first of its kind on Android because of the following features:-
Photo Editor: LayerMask comes with a number of tools like layering, image merging and blending, Photo tuning etc sufficient for creating a Pro level of photo editor which is not present in any other Android tool.
Icon Maker: Combined with a simple and intuitive Icon Maker tool for Android developers, MatCon, LayerMask has the capabilities of becoming the best Icon Maker. Design your foreground on LayerMask and simply push them to MatCon to generate your ic_launcher for different densities.
Note: Photo editing is a memory consuming task, so please adjust your preview quality and download resolution from Settings in LayerMask before complaining any random crashes. I have done my best optimizing memory.
<b>*Key Features*</b>
Image Editor
Unlimited Layers
Cut/Erase tool
Crop/ Rotate tool
Photo Scaling, Size and Horizontal/Vertical positioning
Image tuning using basic tools like brightness, contrast, temperature, saturation, sharpness, blur adjustment tools
Image blending, merge tools
Inner/ Outer glow, Shadows
Support for different resolutions
Icon Maker
Adding text
Inbuilt set of free and open source clipart and colored icons
Saving tasks to be worked upon later on
and many more....
<b>What's Next :</b>
1. I plan to provide a dedicated Image editor in the near future to allow adding inbuilt filters and a more powerful photo tuner along side our Layering tool.
2. Inbuilt set of backdrops and masks.
3. Ability to use custom fonts
I are not currently providing any inbuilt backdrops and masks as I want users to innovate and create their own masks and blend them into their layers. Try bringing the best out of creativity.
The idea for LayerMask came in while developing MatCon icon maker, to fulfill the need of adding layers into our Icons. But finally I thought of adding a simple photo editor in it to add awesomeness to each of the layers, which I plan to update in near future.
Why the pricing?
Well that's quite obvious, LayerMask as well as all the other Android apps from E-Soft has been developed single handed by a single developer and the pricing is just to support the development.
Trust me there might be flaws, but I plan to keep looking into your issues with my best as much as possible and too expect the same patience from your end.
Please let me know if you have used LayerMask to design icons or edit your photos. I would love to hear from you !!
Please rate the app 5 stars (*****). Please email me any issues before giving any negative feedback on Google Play Store. Again, please note that the app has been developed single handed.
Thanks for your support !!
If you have any feedback or questions, please email ( [email protected] )
No reviews?? !!
