1. Smart focus area selection
Simply draw some lines inside a focus area and the background, then AfterFocus will automatically recognize the focus area. You can also select the area with traditional finger painting.
2. Background Blur effect
You can create the most realistic blur effect with various aperture styles just like DSLR camera.
To emphasize that certain things move, Motion blur effect is also available.
3. Filter effect
AfterFocus offers from basic effects to professional effects like Cross Process without looking artificial.
Also, you can emphasize the spot light on the background using Bokeh effect.
4. Double photo (Pro version only)
Take a picture of one object and move slightly to the right to take another picture of the same object, and it will analyze the images and recognize the nearest object, so there is no need to draw the focus area.
(Make sure that the background and the distance of the object are far enough and have clear texture to get a great result.)
5. Easy share
You can share through e-mails and SNS easily and simply.

GET THIS AMAZING APP HERE
Interface
When you launch the app, you get a menu system that lets you choose
one of four options: capture, gallery, collage and share. Diving into each,
the UI is generally what you'd expect. The buttons are self-explanatory,
and you get a regular phone camera-style viewfinder.
Filters
PowerCam offers a decent set of filters, most of which are a bit too over-the-top
for my own taste. You get a standard set of minor filters to lightly tweak the coloring
of the scene that are quite nice, but the rest are a bit out there and I really don't
see many people using them. For the ones that I liked, it seemed to work well enough.
It should also be noted that there is a "no filter" mode for when you have the app open
and want a "regular" shot.
Tilt-Shift
The tilt-shift method, if you're not familiar, is something usually accomplished with
a special camera lens to produce interestingly focused images. The main subject
is sharply in focus, and everything else is quickly out of focus right next to it.
On a smartphone, its all done in post-processing. PowerCam seems to do a pretty
good job, and you can really get some good shots if you spend some time with it.
Panorama
I was surprised by the panorama quality. Using the app on my Galaxy Nexus,
it captured them more consistently and much quicker than the built-in panorama
feature of the Android 4.x camera.
Collages
Something that's going to be very user-dependent is the collage feature.
You can select several pictures you've taken and form them into framed multi-shot pictures.
The UI is friendly enough, just select from your picture list which ones you want,
and it'll arrange them randomly with a frame. You can shuffle the pictures around
and select the frame style, but I was hard-pressed to find frames that I actually enjoyed.
Sharing
PowerCam has built-in sharing functionality to Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr.
Wish that it would use a regular sharing menu and let you use other apps (like Google+),
but it doesn't really matter, as you can share from your Gallery app to anything installed
on your phone after the fact.

Why does the shutter button look like the one on iPhone? In fact, why bother making an Android camera app that completely rips off the iphone camera app's interface?

I did not make the app i am simply sharing it
im what Willis was talking about

thanks for share.

Camera is not taking pictures when in small resolution just some lines. I read reviews on Play Store and most of S3 users have this problem. Not worted to download for our devices antill they fix this

yup this is no good on the s3

all im getting is blurry lines as pictures. crap

doesnt work for me either. nothing but lines..

Dont know why you guys are getting that it seems fine here

I see that you have an international S3 ...the difference may come from here as i dont have the international version and i have some lines at small resolution !

Are there any full screen note taking alternatives to S Note?

S Note is a total pain to use in landscape mode. The wasted screen real estate is disgusting. Is there any way to hide the menu bars or go full screen? Or are there any apps as good as s Note with a full screen mode? I really want the disable touch feature.

Personally I find most handwriting apps for android very quirky. Aside from the landscape mode I still find samsung's S note app the best for my Note taking...I just use it in portrait mode.
I've checked out a few in the last few months...Papyrus Beta seems ok.

Thanks for the suggestion.i tried papyrus but it was nor loading on my phone. S note makes me sad.

Thanks, Jotter is actually pretty good. There are a few problems though. I don't think I will ever be 100% satisfied =/

So far I've tried Jotter, Papyrus (which worked after the second install) and Lecturenotes. They all have their strengths. i like Papyrus's infinite sized pages which lets you expand a thought without needing to load a new page.
In terms of UI, lecturenotes seems to be the best, especially with the ridiculous 16:9 aspect ratio of the note 2. You can actually hide all the menubars. The main problem with lecturenotes is the handwriting is not vectorized and as pretty as papyrus. Jotter seemed fine to me, but couldn't compete with lecturenotes or papyrus.
Papyrus is probably the easiest to use of the three, but it didn't seem to recognize the side button on the stylus.
I think S-Note had the best looking text of all three. The biggest problem with S-Note is the horrible UI.

Hopefully Samsung will improve it the next go round. I'd like to see several things: 1) ability to easily combine notes. 2) ability to do ocr after writing, on any script. 3) ability to back up and export notes as txt and some other non proprietary image format...
No doubt one could go on but as is I still find it useful. When I got my Note I thought I'd never use the stylus lol.

I've been playing with Moleskine. Minus the math and smart shapes, not too bad.

I wouldn't just assume that Samsung will do this. It is imperative that they get the feedback, or they likely will not improve it to our liking. I am pretty sure they don't troll XDA looking for ways to improve their products.

Stock AOSP Camera from Google Experience Phones

Just though I'd share this since it works just fine for me. Just download the .apk and install it like any other app. Now you have the ability to shoot photospheres!

Does this replace the lg camera app? I think quick access to camera from the quick key and dedicated camera button trumps Googles camera app.

Nope. It installs completely separate from the LG app. It also installs the AOSP Gallery app alongside LG's as well.

You can set the Quick Button to call up any app you want. I already switched my Quick Button to open the AOSP Camera app. As far as the dedicated hardware button goes, you can use the volume rocker as the shutter key for the AOSP Camera.

Cool I'll check this out

Photospheres are pretty cool. I guess it's just something to play with. I still predominately use the LG camera app.
I guess a better answer would be "because we can!"

LOL!

My boss calls me a negative nancy. I just happen to think photospheres, and Google-stock in general, is overrated.

This is good news because the more apps google they put on the Play store the less fragmentation there will be.

the lg camera app can already do photospheres already. the vr panorama mode...when it backed up the ones i've taken to my google plus account it let me scroll around in it just fine so it appears to be done pretty similarly to the google version of it. i actually prefer the lg gallery app too. lets u resize the thumbnails with simple pinching to make em bigger or smaller and even hide folders from view (some of my ebooks have the cover art stored in the folder too)

[Q] Tempted to get an M8, have camera concerns with scanning using CamScanner

I'm tempted to get an M8, it really seems like a solid and overall great device.
However, the camera did raise my concerns.
I don't take a lot of pictures, but when I do - it's usually in class. Either of the whiteboard (sometimes from the back of the class) or (more often) I scan notes of others using CamScanner (I use CamScanner A LOT, I capture at least 50 pages a week, and need them to turn out clear and readable).
Both types of pictures require zooming in on them to have things readable, which is what I aim to achieve (and the clearer the text, the better, obviously).
I couldn't care less about taking pictures at night, with low-night, with extra light, with HDR or whatever. All I want from my phone's camera is to do the two tasks above well.
Does anyone have any experience with using CamScanner in class for taking notes? If so, I would be most grateful if you could upload some sample PDF you took so I can see what the quality is like.

I use camscanner all the time and it ends up looking fine and I would upload but they're in pdf's

Could you maybe upload it to something like Mega? If XDA doesn't allow uploading PDFs.
You can also press Share in CamScanner (while in a scan) and from there upload to Google Drive/Dropbox/Any other app on your phone that supports saving files. Any of those would be great.

Bump.
Sorry for bumping, but I want to buy the device this weekend (my current phone is giving my tons of crap lately), and still didn't find any answer about this topic, if someone could help out that would be most appreciated.

I take pictures of text a lot (printed and handwritten notes) and the pictures are perfectly sharp, once you zoom in, the sharpness is very slightly less, but it is still super easy to read. For pictures of a whiteboard from the back of the class, you need to look elsewhere, this camera is hopeless in that category

Edit: will delete this comment later. Apparently you can't delete a commend from the mobile app.

I'm not sure whether tapatalk compresses images though..
Edit:the image is definitely compressed, I'll give you a db link :

That's somewhat OK, I think, but my notes scanning are usually of one's with a smaller font (by far).
Not sure how well it'll work with the M8.
A PDF from CamScanner will be the final judge though.
