I use my S-Pen to take screenshots quite often. My favourite thing is that they can take screenshots of Snapchat without alerting the other person as a normal screenshot would.
My problem is, these screenshots aren't even close to the quality of a normal screenshot. (take with palm swipe or power+home button)
These S-pen screenshots look like they've been compressed to 10% quality or something, you can still see the picture, but it's no where near the original quality. Is this normal? How could I fix it?
Thanks in advance.

Well i had a play with my uncle's iPhone along side my THD and the bigest issues was how unresponsive the THD was at the Picture scrolling and Camera response.
Has anyone tried/started to fix the camera Application and HTC Album?? there is a second wait between pictures on scrolling and about 5 seconds on taking a photo.
I'm almost afraid someone will have to do a total rewrite of the phone app to get it to a normal response time from pressing the button to taking a shot. It's rediculous as it is now; the cam is totally worthless for taking anything but still shots of non-moving things like buildings; taking shots of people right now is just ...worthless.
Which sucks
We did 2 shots and a slight movement blurs. the iPhone doesn't but you clearly can see the camera is better quality on the HD.... as to the picture viewer is there anything that can replace it???
picture viewer: well, there's xnview, but I have to say that Album works better, IMO...as long as you realise you zoom in by drawing different size clockwise circles on the pic, zoom out by drawing different sized counter-clockwise circles and pan by touch-and-holding the screen.
I was testing out the FFC on my Telus Galaxy S II and when I take a picture with it, I see the animation and the picture go to the bottom left corner, and then the little preview of the picture becomes flipped. When I tap on the picture to view in the Gallery, the picture itself is mirrored.
Is anybody noticing this? Is there a setting to flip it back?
Thanks!
Lol. I noticed this also. It actually "corrects" the pick. I took a pic and the saved preview pick flipped. But I noticed I had writing in the background. It is fine in the flipped pic but in the main display it's backwards this the flip.

Not exactly sure how to fix this, if it's even possible to fix it. Haha.
I've noticed that every pic I take while holding the phone in portrait mode is sideways. I think Samsung intended for people to hold the phone sideways to take pics, which I find dumb.
That's really odd.. I wonder if there is some sort of photo software for the phone that can be used to flip them back?
You can rotate photos with the built in gallery app, if that's what you mean...

I know you can rotate them in the stock Gallery app, but I wonder if you can flip them on a horizontal axis, if you know what I mean. That way, an "inverted" photo could be flipped right side up.
It works ok, when it flips it corrects it, when using the front camera its like looking in the mirror, like your right hand looks like its ur left hand, but once you take the pic it flips it and fixes it

I am probably overlooking this but how do you take a picture and annotate the FRONT of a photo. Same with a screenshot. I think I saw someone did that on a screen shot but not sure if he used another app to do that. The built in draw on image automatically flip the image to allowing drawing on the back of the image.
Nevermind, download photoeditor from Samsung App and then click advance editor when viewing photo in gallery.
This makes zero sense. All drawing happens on the image itself. Nothing gets "flipped".

He's talking about the feature that flips the image and let's you write notes behind it, he doesn't want that (gallery default), he wanted to write on the front of the picture (already solved, he downloaded an image editor).
Alternative method
Alternatively, you can pull out your s-pen, hold the button of the s-pen and press and hold on the screen to take a screenshot of the picture. From there you can crop, write, and basically edit it however you please.
Beauty of this phone that is has so many features, that many third-party apps are rendered obsolete in it. I've discarded several apps I used to use in my Galaxy S 2 when I got this phone.

Yes it is kind of weird. If you take the screenshot with the s pen, you can annotate on the front right away. If you take it by swiping your palm across, it takes a screenshot and to access it, you must use gallery. And the default on the gallery allows you to edit on the back unless you choose advance edit and then you can choose photo editor and draw on the front.
But what I don't like is once you start drawing on an 8 MB photo and sends it, the receiver will only get a 1280 x 720 file. Also once you annotate the back of the picture and send it, it only sends the front or the back, not both. You have to send each one separately.
I feel this has always been a problem on my Sprint Galaxy S3 and I am finally getting around to trying to figure it out. The preview looks very crisp but when I actually take picture it becomes faded and bit blurry.
I know it's not motion from the tapping the button because it remains clear if I take a screenshot of the preview which is more shaky than just pressing the screen.
I took a picture and a screenshot of the picture to show what I am talking about:
Preview / Captured image (click images for larger variants)
In the preview you can clearly see the texture of my shirt and the freckles on my face while on the captured image it is just a solid blur.
I asked this question on the Android Stack Exchange too but no one seems to know there so I thought I'd try here.
I am running completely Stock 4.3
I've noticed that using the default camera app, my first pic is usually unfocused. Even if i wait for the squares to come out and then touch to take a shot, it's still not always focused on where i tapped. But the ones after that will always be focused.
anyone else noticed this?
I'd use another app, but so far, i think the default app gives the best quality...and i'm kinda liking the tap to take a pic instead of focusing first...then pressing a shutter button..
