Selective focus - Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
Is there anyway to remove the selective focus icon after you have taken a picture?
Like when I take a select focus picture the. Go to gallery to view the picture that icon is bang on in the middle?. Can't seem to move it or hide it.
Thanks

if you tap the icon doesn't it just disappear?

Yes but comes up with the options to change the focus... Not just looking at the picture

Ok you click on which ever focus you need and then click save as in the top right hand corner. Save under whatever name you want and then it will save in your gallery without the icon

Album view

Anybody know of a way to setup the default album view to show the most recent pics up top first on 2.1? This is the one thing that irks me when trying to upload a pic.
It always shows the oldest pics up top and the newer ones WAY at the bottom. I have alot of pics so I'm constantly having to scroll and scroll to get the the most recent pic I took at the bottom in order to upload it somewhere or email it.

Blurry Photo Backgrounds

Surprised no one has mentioned this, when I try to set a photo taken on the phone as the wallpaper, it asks me to crop a selection from the picture. After setting the wallpaper, it is blurry (in the same way a picture is blurry when you zoom in using gallery). I'm guessing this is just a bug that will be fixed in the next update?
When selecting the picture for wallpaper, Select an edge of the yellow box, and stretch it 'till you select the whole photo/as much as you want.
For some reason, multi-touch to zoom in here doesn't work, whilst it does on n1. (n1 running stock 2.2 [FRF91], and Galaxy S i9000 running stock XXJF3)

Hahahaha. God damn. I was wondering why it would only let me select a tiny bit of a picture as a wallpaper and thought to myself - "why the hell didn't they add in the feature that Rawat has just described". For some reason I had never even tried, I just assumed it wasn't there.
So, thank you good sir I can now apply a whole picture as my wallpaper
It's a retarded system. You give it the exact resolution and it makes you crop it.
If you use .jpg it seems to end up blurry not matter what due to poor recompression.
I've found using .png of the right dimensions works much better.
My setup is a folder of .png of 960x800 and "Wallpaper Rotator" to switch between them every x time.

[Q] Dumb question about wallpaper dimensions

OK so I have a picture of a friend of mine that I would like to set as the wallpaper. I don't want it to scroll as I swipe from one homescreen to the next. I want a static image that remains the same. I've googled this for over an hour and I'm starting to think I'm retarded. I've even installed some Wallpaper Set and Save app and its not helping either.
Any suggestions for how to do this? You'd think it would be dead simple. I want the wallpaper to look exactly how it does when I view the picture in the Gallery app.
Thanks in advance.
When you select a photo as a wallpaper, it gives you an option to crop what sections of the photo you want seen. Set it as wallpaper, pinch to zoom the box to get the maximum amount of photo. Then hit Save or whatever.
LauncherPro and adw.launcher let you do that. It also lets you do some other handy things.
Sent from my shoe, I mean....Epic shoe... I mean Samsung Epic! http://mobilehighway.blogspot.com/
I have Launcher Pro and the only option I see is "Disable wallpaper scrolling" which sounds like it would be great, but each time I choose an image it still gets cropped in the Gallery. Maybe I'm not seeing another option?
Go to the gallery.
Select the picture you want.
Hit Menu, More, Set as, Wallpaper.
It will come up with a box overlay. Touch the edge of the box and drag it out so that it expands to encompass the whole or the vast majority of the image.
Hit Save.
Now you will have the entire image set as your wallpaper.
That did not work for me. I have a wallpaper to the specific size, and it still makes me crop it no matter how I go about it.
Well yea, you are going to have to crop a TINY bit off the edges probably. Is it that big of a deal? The wallpaper would look like garbage if it tried to cram a weird aspect ratio picture into the Epic's aspect ratio screen. Faces would be squished or elongated. But only a TINY TINY amount of the photo gets cut off when you do what I said.

Take Picture and change focus after (macro)

Not sure if Verizon S5 Has it, but on the advertisement for the phone, there was a feature where you can change focus after the picture was taken. Does anyone know how to take a picture with that option?

Check out the link below, it's a screen shot of my camera. You'll want to tap the second icon on the left side, and if that isn't there then look for that icon in the settings drawer, also labelled "Selective focus".

[Q] Way to set home and lock screen wallpapers without cropping?

Hi guys!
I have been trying to set home and lock screen wallpapers without having to crop them, I want to use full images.
I tried using many apps - stock gallery, google photos app, picspeed, many ' pic2wallpaper' type of apps from play store..but none of them seems to work with our beloved note 4.
I have some 2K and 4K images that I want to use as wallpaper. But even the default images provided by samsung are cropped when selected as wallpaper.
Is there any other app that would autoscale the wallpapers to fit fullscreen, or maybe a specific size that we can manually resize the image to get the perfect fit without cropping(and the tool to be used to resize the image, if any)?
I am sure you awesome people here have already tried sorting this out
Thanks a ton!
Anyone?
Photo Grid
This may take several steps, but I am satisfied with my lockscreen now lol.
Download/open Photo Grid from the Play Store
Select Scrapbook (This will only work in Scrapbook mode)
Find the picture you want (You have to save the picture somewhere first if it's not in your camera roll)
Touch the picture. Then, in the lower right corner there will be an arrow going in a circle and it's blue. Hold down the little blue circle to stretch the picture out as tall or as wide as you like.
You will still be able to see some of the background, so touch the background and click on the Background button in the lower left corner. Select background of your choice.
Select Ratio at the bottom. Then, select the ratio 3:5 or smaller if you like.
Touch the picture again and resize with the blue arrow if you wish.
Then, hit save in the upper right corner.
I just thought of this, so I'm sure there may be an easier way. Let me know if this works for you, if you have already tried it or have found an easier solution.
Try Background hd wallpaper app by ogq.It has ability to set full images without cropping

Will try your suggestions. Been using Mont Blanc wallpaper for now lol
Try taking a screenshot of the full size wallpaper you want to use and then use the screenshot as the wallpaper.
Use image2wallpaper or slideshow hd live wallpaper
