N97 Blurry/8Bit images in photo viewer

Todays N97 problem seems to be in my photo gallery. Large images either captured from the camera or transfered to the phone were crystal clear quality previously, now i am seeing a blurred and unfocused image in the photo browser, which ive seen before as it quickly moves on to the next image but usually has auto-focus to make the image clear. The only way i can now focus the image manually is to zoom in once on any of the pictures, which makes this a very tiresome task, otherwise all the images look horrible. Ive searched around the phone for a setting to fix this but cant find anything. I installed the nokia photo browser previous to this and uninstalled it, could this have changed the settings in the default browser im having the issue with? Thanks

I was about to agree that resetting and formatting my phone was a waste of time. I have spent some of the day backing up my phone and then formatting the mass drive which im still unsure about, i have also uninstalled all apps i have downloaded since i got the phone so i hope i havent lost any of them. I have a second N97 that is still on V10 with factory settings, it hasnt been used and is to be sent back as a return. I checked the picture feature on this phone and it does exactly the same as it does on the V11 phone. So i would say its unlikely it had anything to do with a firmware update. I dont remember having this problem previously up untill i installed the Nokia Photo Browser all the same, but perhaps its been with something else, but i do remember it did auto focus when i first got the phone for at least a month. So i am totally stumped now as to what the problem is if the V10 factory settings phone is having the same problem. Perhaps ive totally overlooked something, is it depending on the image sizes? I have various sizes of pictures in the phone as well as ones taken with the camera and also i have basic N97 wallpaper size images, but im afraid it does this with all images not just large ones that would need to be zoomed in once for it to auto fit the screen.

Rotate images in photo viewer possible?

I have the Pre and was wondering if there is a way to rotate images you are viewing in the photo viewer app. I have some saved from MMS sent to me via a blackberry (Pictures saved sideways). I would like to rotate. Is this possible? If not can we possibly see this as an option for future release? EDIT>Rotate or Crop?

Images Blurred in Photo Viewer

I recently had to reflash my HP Touchpad ROM using webOS Doctor because the images in Photo Viewer became blurred after a file transfer. Once I completed webOS Doctor and set up my Touchpad again, the image resolution was restored.
I went to transfer more image files on to the Touchpad from my PC again, and after Ejecting the Touchpad properly from USB Mode, the images are blurred again. I have had to use webOS Doctor 4-5 times now for the same issue, is there any other solution that can be applied to avoid the headache of having to use webOS Doctor every few weeks when I decide to upload more images to the Touchpad?
I considered connecting to the PC and removing the USB without Ejecting properly in order to force the system to re-index the existing files?
Can the Touchpad only upload a certain amount of data at a time? It seems that this error occurs whenever I add more than 4GB of data at a time, so what is the point of having 32GB of storage if the files become unviewable?
Any suggestions or solutions would be greatly appreciated!

DPI and image quality in programs like Windows Photo Viewer

I'll keep this as short as possible. About 6 years ago I bought a Panasonic Lumix DMC-F28 digital camera (not DSLR). It claims 10 MP. After that my daughter bought a Canon Rebel (don;t know the model) which has 12 MP. I would compare her pics with mine by looking at them in Windows Photo Viewer. Hers always looked a lot fuzzier than mine. Especially true if you zoomed in. And I gave her a hard time, saying she had bought a knock off.
I just purcahsed a Rebel T5i with the usual kit 18/55 lens. I took a picture with both the new and the old camera. Guess what? Given the same subject with the same lighting, the Panasonic still produces much clearer pictures in Windows Photo Viewer than the Canon. The only difference I see is that the Canon states the DPI as 72 and the Panasonic as 180. OF course, the Canon image has a lot more pixels.
I know that DPI matters only when a picture is printed. But is it possible that the DPI property in the image file is telling Windows Photo Viewer how to present the image? I hope so. Otherwise I lucked out with my Panasonic and got the best camera in the world, or a Canon is not so great after all.
Do I need to apologize to my daughter? See attached images.
These images are opened in MS Paint and cropped to bring out the eye and hair detail.
Panasonic Image
Canon Image

You comparison method is seriously flawed. For 1 image to be at 72 DPI (a software supplied setting) & the other to be at 180 DPI it means that one image has been enlarged (180 divided by 72) 2.5 times more than the other to view it on screen. Zoom in on the good image until it's 2.5 times larger & see how it looks.
Next thing you need to know is that camera technique becomes more important as pixel count increases. an 18 Mpixel image will have an 80% increase in softness over the 10 Mpixel camera from identical camera shake. To make any accurate form of comparison you will need to eleminate the possibility of introducing camera shake into the test. You will also need very similar lighting & the subject must also be stationary for all test shots. (IE that eye (or the person it's attached to) may have moved during one shot but not the othern

IE6 stretching images in CSS photo viewer

I'm creating a simple photo viewer with CSS swapping out
images. I sized the box to hold them wide enough for the landscape
shots, but my verticals, which are narrower are getting stretched.
In FF I got them to at least position left (centered would be
prefered), but IE insists on stretching them. I don't want to put
separate settings on horizontals and verticals. The page is at
www.carondesign.com/yosemite/index.html. CSS is attached.
Thanks!

Why am I getting sharper printouts from Windows Photo Viewer than PSE 7? This was not always the case. has something in my settings changed? I have tried all obvious solutions but no change. How can i get the best image print outs from PSE?

I prefer to print from PSE as this allows me to set picture dimensions. Windows photo viewer does not give this flexibility. I am using the same PC, the same printer and the same print file, yet the outcome from each software option is significantly different. WPV is sharp and bright whereas PSE is softer. Can any one help me?

Photo viewer not displaying photos properly

when i go to photos viewer n open any pic,d pic open wit a blur image n a ring on top of it keeps rotating keepin d pic in blur state. When zoom the pic shows properly but d ring still keep rotating. However not able to view d pics in small size. Its just keep it blur state.

Haven't figured it out yet, but will post if I find a solution.
The problem is, I'm trying to find a solution to a whole host of other problems on my N97, e.g. The problems I'm having with GPS (Maps 2 and 3 are both currently unusable), the problems I'm having getting my widgets, email etc to detect which connection I need using etc, the problems I'm having with reception, the problems I'm having with my ringtone etc. So this photo viewer problem is just another issue to add to the list.
As for the Facebook App, if I take a picture using the camera link within the application, it won't let me upload anyway, so I've stopped using it. I just use the standard Facebook Mobile site as the Nokia Facebook App is so slow, it's borders on useless.

Lightroom 5 is distorting my images in Develop view

When working on images in Develop, Lightroom 5 is distorting them. For example, let's say I'm looking at an image in Library view (fig.1), then switch to Develop view (fig.2) — the image is suddenly compressed horizontally (or stretched vertically, however you choose to describe it).
At other times, images get distorted and rotated (fig.3). And at other times, images were appearing as though a sharpen filter had been applied with accented highlights — but this particular distortion doesn't seem to be happening anymore.
This does not happen to all images in the catalog. I'm running LR 5.2 on a 15" MBP with 16GB ram and a 1.2TB fusion drive.
Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm late on a deadline beause of this, and other local (NYC) experts, as well as Adobe phone support, are as stumpted as I am.
fig.1
fig.2
fig.3

Did you find an answer? I'm having the same issue with LR 4.4. It didn't happen with 4.3
The only thing I've found to fix it is re-reading the MetaData file for each affected photo and it is taking forever.

How to view the image as cylindrical view in panorama image viewer?

i am facing the problem to view the image as cylindrical view.
i.e, the image moved at the end position ,the image seems to jump to the start.
instead of this the image should view as cylindrical view. i.e, that the end of the image sticks to the beginning of the image.

}plz help me regarding this concept

I have learnt a technique when I am programming in flash.
Assume you have a photo cat.jpg with 10 units in width and 10 units in height. You can have a view(viewport) 10 units in width and 10 units in height.
The following shows the width of the photo:
012345679
To show an effect of panorama, you can draw 2 photo at any time. I assume the eyesight of a person move from left to right with 1 unit at a time.
The original image is 0123456789.
If the person move eyesight to right by one unit, the image become
1234567890
If the person move eyesight to right by one more unit, the image become
2345678901
You can program the by drawing 2 images at any time.
0123456789(zero width for second image)
123456789(0, 1 unit in width in second image)
23456789(01, 2 unit in width in second image)
To display part of image, try this link to a program to crop image

How can I open images in Photo Mechanic with AppleScript

I need an AppleScript that displays a chosen folder of images in a Photo Mechanic as a Contact Sheet.
A FileMaker script – with the help of a plug-in called Troi-File-Plug-in 2.8.2 - already allows me to navigate to the folder which opens on the desktop. The final step would be for the script to display the images in Photo Mechanic, where they can be viewed, captioned, edited etc. (The process can be performed manually by dragging the images onto the Photo Mechanic icon).

Whenever I want a script to open a file with a certain app I use (e.g. FireFox)
set thefile to choose file
do shell script "open -a /Applications/Firefox.app " & quoted form of POSIX path of thefile
if the app's name contains special characters or blanks you will have to quote it e.g.
set thefile to choose file
do shell script "open -a /Applications/'Final Cut Express.app' " & quoted form of POSIX path of thefile

N8 Video Player and Photo Viewer not working prop...

Hi I just got a N8 a few months ago and its been going great until a month ago.
My video player is not displaying any the videos that I had on the phone or any of the videos I try putting on after. I then tried the photo viewer (it displays video as well for some reason) but that didn't have any of the videos and only some of my photos are being displayed.
I previously had the problem with the music player where it would be stuck on the music updating screen (not frozen) but I solved that by looking through the net and finding that you delete a certain file and it fixed that.
Thanks

Photo viewer issue in N8

when i opened the photo viewer to view photos, it takes more time to load (the loading symbol is rotating for more than minute).This was not the actual opening time before.If i try to exit the viewer, i couldn't,the display is switched off for a while,then i pressed menu key to minimise the application and closed it.
Also i locked the screen using the slider key.but i couldn't unlock the screen using slider key.
does anyone experience the same issue?
Solved!

Photo Viewer for Mac

Is there an equivalent of Windows photo viewer for the mac? I don't want to edit images in it, I just want to view in full screen and to go forward and back thought the images, with simple options to 'view at 100%' 'flip left/right', 'enlarge' etc. This is not big difficult stuff right?
I've played with iphoto and dislike it enough to delete it, you can download free apps better than iphoto. I've tried both preview and quick look but don't like them at all. If I select an image it always opens in 'preview' but the 'previous/next icons are always blacked out? Why?
If I use 'quick look' I can move forward/back using the keyboard but it never opens full screen, it always opens to the 'fit screen size' and then really irritatingly jumps about in size all over the place depending on the next image size. It's ok if I drag it to full screen, after which it acts pretty much like windows viewer except there are no options to open an image in an editing app, view at 100%, enlarge, flip left/right etc.
In short it's a poor viewer, I guess that's why it's called quick view uh? Is there some amazing mac facility that I'm missing here. I could just about live with 'quick look' if it always opened full screen but can't see any way to do this.

Preview IS the Apple version of Windows Viewer and its more powerful opening PDF, editing , JPEG, TIFF and other formats.it will even do audio !
Oh and clearly you don't get iPhoto it is a viewer light editor and photo image database. Again far more powerful than Windows Viewer.
Infact its data storage is based on industry standard Aperture.
Quick view is effectively a built in PDF/inline viewer tool within the finder than allows just about any document to be viewed irrespective of format.Probably nearest to what Windows Viewer actually does
It has no editing tools and that not its function.
To open it full screen you hold the ALT key whilst clicking the document in finder
You DO have the opton to open in a specific app at the top of a Quickview window by default it usually says Open Preview however just right click and a list of all potential applications are then listed. You then choose the one you want.
When you select an image from the finder to open in Preview that's exactly what it does- Opens that specific image. IT does NOT load the entire folder because its a separate application - NOT part of finder !
Again you need to work through iPhoto its really has more going for it than you think and no there really aren't better FREE apps out there.
Oh and why the need for full screen viewing - THAT really is a windows hang out. MAC OS is designed such that windows open to the maximum size to display content rather than a locked full screen model by default.
That said if you look in to top right of the window bars click those two divergent arrows you go full screen.
Sorry to say you really have to change your work flow else you may just have to go back to Windows .
As for alternative image viewer depends how much you want to spend and from the sounds of it nothing !
Options
Adobe Lightroom
Adobe Photoshop Elements
Adobe Photoshop (Full)

Install the X11 OS UNIX environment and run GIMP
