Best img editor for PPC?

I just made some pics with my S110 and they are not that bad when photoshoped a little. So I'm searching something for my device that can do
- resize
- brightness
- contrast
- gamma
- levels
- noise reduction
ATM I use Imageer, is there a better one? I'm missing the noise reduction in Imageer and the pics are pretty noisy so that would be welcome to edit them a little and bring em down to 640x480 before sending by email.

Pocket Artist 3

Wow, first time I hear of that software. I'll check that out asap. Thanks again.
By the way, does this tool work on magicians? The office forum has posts indication it does not: http://www.conduits.com/community/forum_posts.asp?TID=406&PN=1

it should work on Magician,but anyway try the second option....it's a software called "Idruna Photogenics"...
RAGO :lol:

I know photogenics but its extremely old and has not been updated in a few years while the newest version from pocket artist is from this september. Not sure how good photogenics still is.

That's about v3.1. I have v3.0 and it works perfectly so. Check out version 3. Its really Photoshop in a portable form.

I use Pocket Artist 3.1 on my JAM with no problems. I do not associate any file types with it though, that may be an issue.

Tried the new one (version 3.11) yet? That one just came out a few days ago.
By the way, I have Imageer installed atm and if Pocket Artist is good I gonne remove that one. BUT Imageer is the viewer for img files atm and I'd like Pocket Artist to stay out (read that it is a little slow) as a viewer. How do I switch the file types back to album or the included viewer?
Edit: Tried Pocket Artist 3.11 and boy am I impressed. This is THE most powerful img tool for ppc. I'm off to buy that at once. Thanks again for that tip!!! Its not that good as a viewer (the first start is kinda slow) but HTC Album fills in nicely here. This is really the "Photoshop" for PDA.

You can also modify the registry to enable the "Editor" utility for the built-in Album program. It will allow you to resize, crop, change gamma, brightness, hue and contrast without installing any additional programs. It does not support layers of course!
Registry Modification as follows:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/HTC/Album/Disable Editor: set it to 0

That is nice to know for sure. Thanks for that.
I was searching for an editor that has one important function/filter: reduce grain or reduce noise. And Pocket Artist is the only that offers that filter. Thing is if I take some pics with the cam at xl res and do some level correction, contrast enhancements and grain reduce and then finally resize them to 640x480 they look pretty good for emails. Without the grain/noise reduce they dont look too good at all so that filter is more important than anything else to me when I want to send pics away by email.
I dont need the most function out of Pocket Artist, I only need 4 or 5 after all but the noise reduction is very very important to me and I've not seen a PPC implementation of it besides Pocket Artist. And ancient img editor called Photogenics had that too but the latest version is from 2001 and that is bejond good and evil so Pocket Artist is basically the only choice. Besides the workflow is pretty similar to Photoshop, the filter options for level correction etc. work very much like Photoshop. So if you know how to get things done with Photoshop Pocket Artist is the best there is.

iTask Animated 0.92.5 29.feb -RELEASED!!

Release 0.92.5 of iTask:
-------------------------------------------
Please don't get upset if I change something on each release, or that it is hard to modify. I know all this, and it is in everyones interest to make iTask work smoothly in every way, before making a good settingsprogram. If not, the settingsprogram would need changes every time I modified something in iTask, and that would slow down the whole development progress.
This is a development-in- progress app. This means you can use the beta, before the final release, and I get some feedback on bugs. Thankfully some in the community has taken a keen interest in sharing feedback, and therefor iTask Betas are still coming pretty often.
I know it's hard for some people to edit the input.txt and I hope someone with programming knowledge will be up for the task of creating a settingsprogram for iTask when I come to 1.0. I do not know much programming, only Flash.
Thanks, Rhov23
-------------------------------------------
Place folder at "root of your device"
Image of where the root is, and where to place folder:
ROOT
VIDEO OF ITASK 0.91
-You need to install Flash lite 2.1 player
-Itask.zip is the old version. itask_0_92.zip is the next and itask_0_92_5.zip is the newest.
-WHEN YOU OPEN iTask for the first time, or after a soft reset, or if unread sms or contactlist is not working, run SERVER.EXE.
Server.exe runs invicible in the background.
OPEN WITH ITASK.SWF
A GOOD TIP FOR EDITING: If you have a copy of the itask-folder on your computer, you can use flash player in Windows to play it there as well, for quick reference when you add images or text. Instead of dpad button, press enter
Newest 0.92.5
-Added many variables to input.txt so non-english can modify more.
-Added some variables to new background images, so you can for example change the background of the Minical or contacts
-Made contactapp a bit prettier, and you can now click on phone to make a call, or email to email a contact (if you have email for that contact).
-Teleprovider name
-Name of wifirouter
-Name of bluetooth connection
- Username
-Small fixes
Done 0.92:
-Unread sms
-Unanswered calls
-Unread email
-Buttons can now be gif/jpg/swf/png(with transparency)
-20 more app buttons ( open apps, slide to right)
-Slide to unlock has been changed to be a execute link instead, so now you can use a better screenlocker
-Changeable background for news and settings.
-You can use gif/jpg/png/swf for background-image as well
-Write has been moved to iProgs, so now mainbutton1 is open for external app.
-Rubik's cube game
-Soccer tricks game
-Sokoban game.
-Tetris look upgraded.
-Contacts app Alpha version.
-Many small fixes
-Volume and network or other system info not fixed yet.
Done 0.91:
-Rewritten from flash 7 to Flash lite (Painstaking!)
-New news reader (looks the same, but all new because of flash lite limitations on the old one.) It's faster, you can add as many feeds as you want. Use right/left hardbutton to change feeds. Also added browser link for reading the whole article.
-New calendar (because the old one didn't work in flash lite)
-Rewrote parts of weather. (because the old one didn't work in flash lite)
-New drawing app. Much smoother, more functions.
-New timer. (because the old one didn't work in flash lite)
-New snake game
-New bubblebreaker game
-New solitaire! (this took an awful long time to make)
-Added 4 search functions to write
-Added urls.txt: rss feeds addresses should be put here
-New loadani.exe: Screenshot app. Takes screenshots of all your apps and saves them as the appropriate loadani. Start the exe and see what I mean.
-Many small fixes
To do (in the near future)
- Your ideas (not to complex, please)
MODIFYING:
-Input.txt is where you do all text/execute modification.
All buttonimages are adressed in this file by numbers from 1-X, from the top left to the bottom right. Same with text, executelinks etc.
-Buttons should be 40x40 pixels.
Background images: 240x320 pixels.
-All jpg files MUST be NON-PROGRESSIVE. Keep the file sizes low.
Hope you like it!
This is a developing in progress app. I need feedback!
Please DONATE what you think this app is worth for you, if you like it of course

Downloading...
Edit: this is really nice! it is from my first tests very stable, not found any bugs at all yet.
maybe now you could try and make the frame rate per second higher, so that the animations would go smoother,
i am no programmer and i dont know if thats possible with mortscript..
keep it up! o and the spider walking down the keyboard is funny!! haha
PS: Thanks

Its a very nice looking interfece, but i agree that it needs a larger frame rate, so the animation is smoother. Starts instantly though. Ive got a problem in that it launches calculator no matter what icon i press. And, before it launches calculator, it says please post a screenshot of the application you use here or something similar.

Looks very promising, I'll try it soon...

Any chance of some screen shots guys?

Very nice for a first release. Well done !
1) Still didn't check all options, but as tomazez stated, a better frame rate would be great. It's not as smooth as Pointui or other UI replacements.
2) I don't know what's the need for the page that opens after clicking on a program's button (the one we should replace with a jpg pic) I'd prefer getting immediately to the program/settings page.

This is where your modification comes into play.
The image that comes before you launch calculator is to be replaced by you, with a screenshot of your program. If people will begin to share screenshots and icons, this will be a lot easier for all of us
Most links are defaulted to calculator, but in the input.txt file you can change the links to whatever you want.

Beautifully done! With some work, this could blow FreeStylWM and PointUI Home out of the water! Provided that we all get the video driver needed by all HTC products using the MSM7200 chipset, do you think that this will improve on the speed with some DirectX code thrown in? I'm no Windows Mobile developer (yet) but I'd love to help with this wonderful project (even if it's MortScript modifications or beta testing!)

[App] [Updated 02-NOV-2008] Diamond Cubes

Here is a small OpenGL based program that allows you to use your Diamond as a "Dice Shaker". It is a simple program and it was written to learn how to use OpenGL together with C# on my Diamond.
There are still some bugs in the collision detection code, but I think it is a good example of what can be done with this lovely PDA/Phone.
I apologize for the bad interface, there is not much else you can do then shake it and exit from the program.
The dices are 3D objects and tumble across your screen. I still think there should some better "randomness" and there is an annoying bug, which I short-fused in a very ugly way
Anyway have fun and if I find the time, I will certainly try to improve it.
Done:
- Add sound effects/ buzzer triggering - thanks to gerDiamond to fix the "bugs" in the collision detection and surur for the sound and background file. Also thanks to simplifight to clean up some of the code.
- Better graphics - I think I finally understand OpenGL lighting
- Menu choice for the number of dices - You can choose 1 till 7 dices
- Ticking on the screen is the same as shaking the device.
Still todo
- Different faces for different types of games (for example the dice colors needed for "Cities3D" ?) - Basic setup for this is done, just need to find the time to create the images
- Nicer graphics for the playboard. Again I have the graphics understood and made some code changes with regard to the rendering of the dices.
- 3D tilting. Have a look at my "Paper Plane" app, which shows a 3D F16, which you can look at from all sides.
Lower priority todo
- Zoom in or out ??
- Change size of play-field ???
Any suggestions are welcome.
I will post the latest sources again, but it could take a few days, since they sort of are a mess for the moment.
Dice can be parked by clicking on them. Clicking on them when parked, they will go back to the "field".
Help needed
I could still use some help in the dice rotation algorithm. Currently there is a tendency to favor some numbers, but I need to randomize it better. One solution is perhaps to randomly choose between turning around the x or y-axis ?
Graphics are welcome.
I also could use some help or guidance in using a "3DS" loader or something similar, so that people can design their own dice textures.
If you have nice pictures of dices, preferable JPG or PNG with square sides, I will try to use them. Usable sizes are 64x64, 128x128 or 512x512

got the sofa!!
Hi there!! It looks great for fun with your friends!!!
I will try it right away !!

I just tested this first version.
The animation is great, perhaps de Gsensor sensitivity could be enhanced to be more realistic the "shake" to trow the cubes.
Great job my friend!

Wow.. very nice
This looks great... A little more programming and it will be perfect...
some sound... and interaction with the cubes.. ( now they can land ontop on eachother)
Looking forward to see the next version

nice job!
how about adding another 3 dice so i can play yatzee?

Great app, but it doesn't work for me. I'm using 1.93 NL official rom.
I allso found an iPhone dice app so here is the link for inspiration for further developement http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugoq8M2XxVE
I'm also willing to make the dice so they look more beutifull but i don't know how this is done with mobile phone apps. Will a Cinema 4D or 3DSMAX render do?

.NET CF 3.5 needed

Problem 1: You might want to check if you have .NET CF 3.5 installed. I always use that because it is installed in my ROM.
The dice is created as a cube on which I render 6 different images. So I don't know if you can use Cinema 4D or 3DSMAX. Check the sources, maybe that it gives you a better idea ? Any way I appreciate any help I can get, I am still learning to use the OpenGL software, so I have not really a clue about all the possibilities. Sometimes it feels like I have managed to understand about 5%
Maybe some other people can help out here ?
My main reason to add the sources also was the hope that somebody would take the application and make it better, so that I can learn of it too.

Nice app!
A little laggy though, besides that it looks great!

Great idea. Should be called "Diamond Dice" though? sounds more appropriate ;-) And is the animation quite smooth for everybody else? not very smooth on my Diamond, but that might be due to the high memory usage I usually have

Greatttt ... thanks a lot...

Can you make a version for Yahtzee?

The graphics looks very realistic for the iphone...hope someone can do better for the diamond.
Would b great if can add in sound and slight vibrations when the dices hit the sides of diamond...

Very nice app. Just a little bit more tweaking. Thanks a lot.

I've tried looking into it but tbh i have no clue about how that stuff is done. But this might help you improving your opengl skills . http://nehe.gamedev.net/ on the left are lots of tutorials.

I settle for "just as good". I hope someone here will take on the challenge to create a similar app. Diamond Cubes is a really good start!

Yeah this is cool to start with, heres hoping someon can expand this with sounds, better responses etc.

Wow.. very nice thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there anyone working on this or is it forgotten? Hopefully not, I’d love to see a yatzy version ala Iphone style…

Hi, congratulations and thanks for the app!
after having seen this app i wondered if it is usable for playing table top role playing games like d&d
It would be very nice to have those features (first are most relevant):
- type of dice (4, 6, 8, 10, 12 or 20 faces are standard dices)
- how many dices
- color one or more dices differently (in d&d you may be using one dice for fire damages and another one for ice damages for example)
- save and quick load presets like "2D8+1D6(fire)"
- if we have presets it would be nice to save fixed modifiers and calculate the final result, for example ""2D8+1D6(fire)+2" means you roll 2 8 faces dices, 1 red 6 faces dice and sum 2 to the final result.
- ok.. since maybe i am the only one who needs those features a simple and advanced selector at the startup would be nice for everybody
thanks!

Auto M3d Background File Generator

i'm finishing up a program that will automatically split an image into the chunks necessary for Manilla 3d for blackstone.
If there is enough interest i'll make it public

err... need to move this to the applications forum. posted under general. oops.

Brilliant idea. Release it!

Sounds great! I would definitely use it!

You got my vote man! This would be cool.

thumb up on that
u have my vote as well...read through how to make wallpaper look good.....but to be completely honest it's a mission....for maniacs....so ur tool would bring that ability to have nice background to everyone
keep up ur work

Will this program make backgrounds at hi quality??? ---> something like here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=500178
Anyways I vote for it!!!

Great work! I too am curious if the image is high quality as discussed in the post above me. I believe the member Chainfire was working on a gui to do the same thing and resulting in High quality backgrounds. Also, after using your program, is there a line in portrait where the two portrait images meet or does it align perfect?

this will make the portrait and landscape PNG chunks at high quality so that you can load any image into it. This program will take care of the resizing/scaling/tiling. You'll still have to use something like CFC GUI (just copy the 4 png files and follow the steps in that thread) if someone can provide me with the compression algorithm used by manilla i can implement it to cut that step out so that you can go straight to the manilla folder

Share your screensaver images!

I thought it might be a good idea to start a thread for sharing screensavers for the STR's lovely Pearl screen.
I'll start: these are some photos of Mies Van Der Rohe's 'Barcelona Pavilion', taken about 2 years ago. Of all my images, these really show up best on the e-ink screen, which seems to deal much better with light greys than it does with darker ones.
I've not added any watermarks to the images so as to be as useful as possible; please respect the fact that these are my own work. Feel free to use them for personal use -- just don't let me find them on DeviantArt, etc!
Enjoy, and, I look forward to others sharing
EDIT: Oops, it seems the forum resizes images and converts to jpeg... go for the zip for the proper files.

Very nice. I grabbed a bunch of public domain images off of Google (mostly Albrecht Durer, since the woodcuts really look good on the e-ink screen), and use those for my screensaver. I would think Japanese woodcuts would look great as well, but I haven't downloaded them yet.
For those that don't know, you just need to greyscale the image, resize to 600 X 800 (or close to, and then crop to size), and load onto the main memory in a new folder. You can then select that new folder in preferences.

Here are some good Star Wars screensavers I found on the internet. Don't know the author nor their origin.

And another Star Wars screensavers. I will add also not SW ones

Demo Mode!
I was looking around in the NST filesystem and found the images for the demo mode! (You know the pictures you see on the nooks on display at the store) I also found the images for the default screen savers. (authors and nature) Funny thing about nature, is that one of the pictures is of Potter Marsh, very close to where I live!
