Audio, Video & Photo

[#1]

Using my new Palm Pre 2 and took a photo to add as a contact.

The process is simple enough to assign the photo taken to the contact, by lining up within the square and pressing Assign to contact.

However the end result just shows a blurred image of the enlarged photo.

Does anyone know how a picture taken with the camera can be set to view correctly as the contact?

Imported photo's work fine, but that defeats the object, i.e. you see a friend, take their photo but can't add it correctly to your contacts.

I have exactly the same problem.  I take a photo, add to contact, line up the square to the part of the photo to include.  Instead of showing what was in the square, it shows a massively enlarged portion of th person's face (ie the contact photo is mostly just a brown square of enlarged skin colour).   This is very poor - what's gone wrong, is there a bug in WebOS 2.1.0?

I have had the same problem - any update/solution?

I don't have any solution, but ...

Can you sync the picture to your computer, and then, use GIMP, photoshop, or whatever to

crop the picture to your liking?  And then, sync the picture back to your phone?

You should be able to download a photoshop app and edit pictures. Then you won't need to go to the computer every single time to edit pictures.

I got an HP touch pad and when tapping the camera the screen comes up faceing me with my picture,  If I want a picture of something else I have to turn it around with the back to me and I can't see the picture to focus sit.  Is that right?

Like, I can only take a picture toward me, not in front of me.

That's correct - there is only one camera on the TouchPad, and it was meant for video chatting.  The camera app was added by HP as an afterthought when other Homebrew authors started writing their own "Camera" apps.
