[Q] Edit pictures without losing image quality on LG G2? - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

If you shoot a good photo in a special moment, there is maybe a very small part on top of the picture which you would like to crop out, to make the photo perfect! But: If you do that, you will have the following issues:
It reduces the size of your photo - means you loose quality
It will remove the location from your photo - you can't remember where the exact point of shooting was
the photo will not stay in the right sequence in your gallery
maybe you loose exif information
I tried to edit my photos with:
Built in crop
QuickPick
Photo Studio
Photos
No one of them did a good job. Any suggestions from you what the perfect App would be?
Cheers

Snapseed is my favorite by far of the bunch. Very easy to work with with its swiping setup. The photos will be placed in the correct order you only have to move them to the original camera directory with a file explorer after editing them.

@defcomg. With that app you can't crop!

Question about Camera app

Hi, I was having a play with one earlier - and it appeared that when you take a picture there is no way within the app to see the picture you just took? You have to exit out and go into gallery?
Is there a way around this? Ta
There is an list of latest taken photos on right side... You can even expand it & then it shows all files in image-folder...
Take a look:

Thanks, I thought it strange there was no way to do this. Buy the model I was playing with (three uk branded) definatly didn't have it - must be different rom versions?
Thanks anyway
Remember that you can flash a normal non-messed up rom from the dev section,
like my orange uk version, is now a on the global rom minus the orange bloatware

If you swipe the thumbnails to the right, they will disappear... if you swipe from the very right edge of the screen toward the centre.. they will come back!... same with the menus on the other side (but in reverse!)
Is it possible to remove compression from our phone? Try to take a picture and the size only around 700kb when i use 8mp setting.
you can use vignette off the market - but in the tests I've done it doesn't really improve the image quality very much at all.. and actually in some shots I preferred the stock camera's results.
yeah, i like the result of the stock camera apps. But when i transfer the file to my PC and zoom it, the quality still not too good because of the compression. that is why i'm trying to remove the compression.
Wait for my MOD once we get root
I will add photo preview too
Is there any way to have multi shots option???
To press camera button and take 3-5 pictures in a row...
I miss that capability....

Image Viewer

Hi All,
Is there any settings or app using which I can browse through my gallery and the picture is displayed on FULL SCREEN??
Currently I am using QuickPic & I need to tap on image to zoom it, any suggestions..
How about the Large Image Viewer?

still I have to tap to zoom, QuickPic is far better than this..need something to fit images exactly on screen !!
The stock image viewer does that as standard!
Quickpic is simply the best! Been using it for a long time now....ill never get rid of it.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
guys I know QuickPic is the best
BUT I NEED AN APP TO DISPLAY THE IMAGES ON FULL SCREEN !!!!!!!!! without tapping image...
like i said.. stock gallery does that already.
@im_iceman
how does the stock application does that, see the below screen shot:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

Your image doesn't even fully fit the screen. Of course, it will first stretch-to-fit, instead of cropping the image just to completely fill the screen.

[Q] Unknown symbol in stock Gallery

Hello everyone,
I've started to notice that when viewing some images in the stock Gallery app a symbol appears over the image (and also in folder view). This seems to be related to images with a specific ratio between width and height, but I wanted to ask if anyone has a more detailed explanation of it.
TL;DR: Help, my Gallery app is playing tricks on me.

Click on it?
It looks like panorama.....or maybe the movie view thing in Apple products.
I've forgot to mention: tried tapping, holding, frowning at it, but to no avail. Doesn't seem related to any motion feature/eye control, etc.

it simply says that the pic is a panoramic picture
That's what I was thinking, since it needs a specific ratio between width and height, but it applies to any image with that ratio (not only panoramic photos taken with the camera). Problem is, it stays there all the time, and sometimes I have to zoom in and out and move the image around in order to read the text in it.
Can it be disabled? Or what's the purpose of it, really? I can tell by myself that it's a panoramic shot, no need for it.
Thanks.

You're on panorama mode. Click on mode and select a different mode.
Sent from my fingers to your face using my Samsung Galaxy Note 3!
No, I was talking about the stock Gallery app, not the Camera. Still, it's not in Panorama, but Auto.
That symbol appears in the above mentioned conditions only in the Gallery, regardless of the Camera settings.
But thanks anyway.

Pink glow in photos?

Hello everyone !
But is it just me or the camera of my S5 tends to have a soft glow pink ?
I'll post three photos :
The first photo are made to the ceiling with all default settings:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Second photo, made to a object, all default settings:
Third photo, made to the same object, but with HDR:
The wall and the cieiling are white of course.
I'm not saying they are bad picture to be taken with a cell phone mind you, then I know that the indoors with artificial light are not exactly suited to take good photos with the digital in general, then the most important thing : I DO NOT KNOW NOTHING OF PHOTOGRAPHY .
In your opinion are fine as a photo? I do not care to know if they are good pictures or not , I'm interested to know if by any chance the camera has a problem , or is fine and I do not know photographing ...
P. S. Pictures taken to 'open day are fine with no problems.

You sure your finger is not too close to the lens? Could it be bouncing the light off of your finger?
Yes I'm sure, just checked

Default Camera sucks: Here is a solution

In particular the "Superior Auto" mode of our Z3s sucks. With "Manual" it is fixable to some extend, but I feel it's a lot of work and usually you just want to point and shoot (like you can with e.g. an iPhone btw. - my previous iPhone 5s made excellent pics in no time).
So here comes a solution and it might sound surprising: Use VSCO Cam! I did not expect this at all but in my opinion it takes waaay better pics than "Superior Auto". You still can't zoom in and expect a lot of detail, but I like how they come out nevertheless. Here are some samples :

One downside of using VSCO as a default camera is that it does not save to gallery by default and there seems to be no option (yet) to change that in settings. So you have to click on the images and "export" them to gallery. On iOS you actually can change it so it saves to gallery by default - I hope they will offer that on Android soon too.

Nice app, thx
VSCO definitely takes better pictures in my opinion. Here's a comparison below, the top picture is the stock camera on manual mode and the one below it is VSCO with default settings.
