[Q] How do you draw on the FRONT of image?

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.

[Q] Any Action Sequence camera?

Hi, does somebody know if there is a action sequence camera like i had on my galaxy S1?
The idea is that the camera app/function makes the action sequence full auto
See google for a example (type: action sequence photo)

[Q] Android 4.3: How to screen-capture with delay and temporary elements?

Hi, Is there a hassle-free, decent app, that captures screens in Android 4.3 on Samsung S3 and Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1/2014
- without interpolating
- with 5 seconds delay
- also capturing screen elements that appear only while screen is touched?
I will happily pay for that app.
I would like to take Screenshots in that fashion:
1. press on-screen button in screenshot app
2. five seconds later, the whole screen will be saved as a PNG file (or TIFF or BMP).
But:
My two Android 4.3 devices create screenshots ONLY in those ways:
- wipe screen with hand horizontally (it's activated in settings)
- press Home- and Off-buttons
- on tablet, with S-Pen and screenshot-note (results look interpolated, even though they have the screen's resolution of 2560x1600px)
These methods are troublesome, the wiping changes app states and generally i cannot record elements that only appear when the screen is touched (for instance, the editing controls that appear when you touch a photo in an image-editing app).
Last year, i had some ways that all don't work now with Android 4.3. After pressing the Off-button for a while, i do get the usual menue, but there is no screenshot option (i don't see where i can activate the option in the settings).
I also tried around five apps recommended in many articles, including Screenshot Free, Screenshot UX Trial and Screenshot Ultimate. They do NOT capture anything. Screenshot Ultimate has a Screenshot Auto Detect telling me there is no easy way to capture screens; followed by a very long and complicated explanation how to capture screens anyway, but i don't want to follow this long explanation and i don't want to "root".
In short: Is there a hassle-free, decent app, that captures screens in Android 4.3
- without interpolating
- with 5 seconds delay
- also capturing screen elements that appear only while screen is touched?
I will happily pay for that app.
Thanks!

Portrait is only available if it detects a human face
Plenty of other 3rd party editing apps for red eye, search Google play

A better solution is gonna be to use snapseed. full featured yet beginner friendly and easy to use. plus a lot more features than built in samsung solution.

Screen Capture and Screen Write problem (pixelated with the Spen)

I update to the Android One UI. Screen capture is now missing the color dropper (color picker). Also, when it saves drawings, the lines are saved VERY PIXELATED.
Any help?

for me it's still there.( color dropper )
I'm on android 10 ,April security patch and Samsung updated ,One UI 2.1
If i use Spen option to screen shot it shows under screenshot image
If it's a swipe type screen shot,
it shows under the bottom option icons ,next to the scroll icon/edit icon
Otherwise only option left is to factory reset ..to hopefully fix issue !
Good luck
