I love the amazing SAMOLED of my Galaxy S but I'm very disappointed with Android/Samsung stock imageviewers. (slow, very slow, ugly)
I really like the WP7 one, it is very nice.
Which Image Viewer do you recommend?
In terms of speed nothing beats the stock image viewer or you can try the modded image viewer ( you can search the forums for it ) it shows a very high resolution of the images OR you can try other apps like Just Image
I use now "QuickPic".
It is fast, works well and is able to hide folders from being scanned (e.g. Covers from mp3-folders).

For me personal, this is best one:

Unfortunately the pictures viewed in the Gallery won't be loaded in a higher resolution when zooming in. Can anybody confirm this?
Confirmed, this application ideed doesn't refine when zoomed. Didn't do with Desire neather. I would like to have a HTC album application. That one does zoom and refine...
Search image viewer on market,it should work properly
indeed - but this gallery is a great looking app... don't want to give it away ;-)
The problem is that there's nothing to refine. What I've read in the reviews that the image app makes a smaller version of the original image. So you are looking at less the pixels than the original image. Stupid but hey, It's not a camera.

Thanks for that - can now see pics in much higher res, but the app lacks a few basic gallery features, such as rotate, swipe/move to next pic, etc. Any alternatives?
What about installing the nexus one gallery app like what we did with the milestone?

Pretty stupid indeed, with a gallery you want to watch the original images... Not some thumbnail. Hope this will be fixed in the future...
Is there any better (than stock) picture viewer utility? The one in Eclair shows the images very ugly when i zoom them in...
Try Droid Comic Viewer, available in Market
You should also give JustPictures! a try, it's free from the Market and it's great!
great!
thank you. it is obviously better. no idea why android has such crappy image viewer...

Justpictures or the comic viewer?
Floating Image is good as well. Its free and open source.
Justpictures is cool, but it seems to show some 'banding' or stripe effect on some images at certain zoom levels. I also had to change "Maximum resolution" on the settings to get images to load their full resolutions. Maybe the stripe effect is just a result of the image being rendered at it's full resolution all the time because it disappears as you zoom in.
It's good though, nice interface.
I've been using Large Image Viewer: http://www.appbrain.com/app/image.viewer
It's not fancy, but shows images in their full quality without any glitches. Although it does take a fraction of a second to load the full quality as you zoom in.
Tried the JP viewer and i dont see any improvements, the comic viewer is close to showing full resolution BUT the loading time is LONG!
Hi all.
We all agree that SGS Super AMOLED is amazing and viewing photos is simply a joy... but the Gallery 3D supplied with the phone can't handle image quality in a satisfying manner.
There are plany of apps out there for image viewing. Some are neat, some are less.
I've tested some apps like Floating images, B&B, Just Picture, Picture Folder and Image Viewer.
As a professional photographer, image quality is a must. So I tested each app with various images but same resolution (800pixels long side).
All apps mentioned above, except one, failed to show the right sharpness and color transitions.
The best app for those who care about quality, is Image Viewer. This app has no appeal and no "fun playing around" feeling to it but it does the job on the best side.
If you think there are better apps out there, please share.
Cheers.
Large Image Viewer seemed to give good quality.

Personally I use JustPictures. In the options you can set the picture resolution to "original" which makes it show the full resolution, although it has these minor line artefacts so the quality isn't perfect.
I can't find this "B&B" you mention. What is it?

I believe Image Viewer or Large Image Viewer is the same app.
The lines you mentioned are called BANDING. This is usually seen in transition in the BLUE color (e.g., Skies).
Image viewer won't show you these banding at all.

I tried to search in the market but found quite a lot of apps with image viewer names on it. Could you please give the author name or a link in appbrain ?
Thanks.

Have you guys tried the fixed gallery app that can be installed via sgs tools? it fixes sensor batt draining bug too. Also fixes picture quality issues. I use justpictures myself

I really like Perfect Viewer. It has really good controls for zooming and scrolling, and I believe it does it's resizing in a way that is pretty high-quality.

I don't really understand what you mean ?
bro is the upgrades for SGS tools compatible with your ROM??
gallery from sgs tools is not compatible with JPU
The gallery from Number22 ( SGS tools ) is pretty decent once he fixes the random FC but and the black bars on the thumbnails, to date it has the BEST image quality ive seen/

Try large image viewer, and compare images. Quality wise (as mentioned already) this is the best app.
Hi,
I have two children & I tend to use my phone as a camera often. I guess I am not picky & it takes really good shots for what it is. There is very little blurring & the photos look nice for email pics.
So I want to try CM9 or AOKP & I believe that currently there is no camcorder/video which I am OK with. How is the quality of the photos? I seem to remember reading that the camera images for some reason arent as nice as with a stock based TW rom.
Is that true? Is the camera a piece of hardware & there is no software to enhance it? Ultimately are images without any editing nicer on a TW rom vs AOSP?
Thanks,
Rich
Hi everyone
i bought tab s 10.5 a yesterday and i uploaded a few pics and videos from my pc to it
and beside the images and the video that comes with the device (that look amazing by the way) , pics and videos that i put doesn't seem good, they looked better on my 1080p pc screen
they seem to lack wide spectrum of colors, like they are an 8-bit images or look like when your graphics driver on your pc is ruined
it would seem that my files are s h i t but they look really good on pc
is there like a switch or a mode that i can flip to make it right?
Can you upload a screenshot? You might have copied a thumbnail or something check which resolution the picture has.
