Working with your photos 13
by Adam Marks Tue, 21 Sep 2010 11:54 am EDT
When you are looking at a photo on your device, there are a number of different actions that you can perform with that photo. To access these actions, first you need to load up a photo via either the Photos app or by tapping on the photo thumbnail in the Camera App. Then, you can pitch-to-zoom or double-tap to zoom to navigate the photo, rotate your phone to view the photo in landscape mode, or you can work with the various buttons on that screen, as shown in the screenshot here (if you do not see any of those buttons, just tap the screen once to make them appear). Continue reading after the break to review what each of those buttons do.
- The
button on the bottom left corner of the screen will bring up an pop-up menu to allow you to either assign that photo to a contact, set this photo as the device's wallpaper, send this picture via email or MMS, or upload the photo to Facebook or Photobucket (if you have added the respective account to your device)
- Both the Assign to contact and Set wallpaper options will then allow you to zoom and crop the photo as needed
- The
button on the bottom right corner will prompt you to delete the photo - The top bar will indicate the name of the Folder that the photo is sitting in and the number of photos in that folder. Also, tapping on this header bar will take you back to the thumbnail view of that folder
- Finally, to navigate off this screen you can perform a back swipe. This will take you back to either the thumbnail view of the folder in the Photos App or the Camera, depending on how you originally accessed that picture.

is there a way to rotate the photo itself? like if i have a picture i received in a text is landscape, however i want to rotate is 90 degrees.. ugh, that's one thing that pisses me off
Not sure if this is what you're referring to, but when you receive a picture in a text message, you can tap the picture, then click on "save picture" (or something like that). Then open the picture in the Photo app and you can rotate your phone to view it in landscape or portrait.
Palm's native photo app does not allow you to change the orientation of the photo.
However... you CAN do so using the Photo Effects App and it's freeeeeee.

thanks, that's exactly what i'm looking for
thanks
You can crop your pics on your phone. Open the picture and stretch and centre it on your screen and take a screen shot ( orange/grey + sym + p ). This is very useful for emailing pictures as it reduces the size considerably.
someone sent me an email that contained a picture the other day and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get it from the email into my photo roll. any suggestions? thanks!
I dont know if its just how the pictures are sent to me, but when I get an email, the pictures are usually in the body all the way at the bottom, then you can tap it and copy to photos. If not, they are at the top under the subject. There will be a little attachment icon. Tap that and it will download. If it doesnt open after downloading, tap it again to open it and copy to photos. I hope this is right. Im going off of memory.
I hope in WebOS 2.0 there is auto focusing of the prior and next photo, so it doesnt take 2-3 seconds to sharpen. My old centro does it way way faster than my new pre plus. So sad.
install the "better quicker flicker" patch via preware. it will speed up this whole focus process.
Plus we need ability to create folders and ability to move photos from one folder to another within the photo app.
The good ol' days.
you can with Internalz... Create folders, rename, copy and move. It's wonderful. J Rob is the Man!
