HTC Album issues - HD2 General

HD2 is great for viewing photos, screen is large, it's powerful enough to easily handle large photos, but there are some things that could be improved. Hope you can help me.
1. If photo is not in 5:3 ratio (as screen itself) it would be cropped to 4:3 in photos tab. See pic for details.

2. Photos that came with the device appear sharp when viewed in photos tab, but every photo put on phone/card, no matter the resolution or quality looks poor in the same view (fullscreen looks good).
3. Photos are not sorted by name, but by date captured. Can it be changed?
4. Can any parameter (contrast, brightness, saturation, RGB values) of the screen itself be changed? In other words, can screen be calibrated? Note I'm not talking about editing the photo, nor changing backlight intenisty. I'm talking about those parameters you have on your PC LCD, or in your graphic card drivers.

Bump... Anyone?

Some HD2 camera pics

A lot of people have complained about the HD2 camera, but here are a view examples of shots I took over the last week that show it can still take some pretty nice shots. All have been retouched in Photoshop for artistic effect...

Can you please share you camera settings? Like White Balance, Contrast, Sharpness, etc. Do you change them for different type of lighting?
the second and forth pictures are awesome, makes me wanna go out there and try the camera out more myself

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To be honest, the camera settings are pretty irrelevant due to the amount of post-processing performed. However, I use +4, +3, +4.

Nexus 10 vs P900 screen macro comparison

There's been a lot of debate about the pentile screen of the Note Pro, some people can see the blurry/jaggedy outline of text, while others can't... so I present to you a macro comparison of screens.
I've used the playstore as the source; tripod was stationary, I just moved the tablets and focused.

My opinion: The P900 is clearly missing parts of the text/image... it's like a strainer/sieve and can't even draw circles properly. It's considerably brighter though... both were on 100% brightness with Auto disabled... BTW: with Auto brightness on and in sunlight you can get the P900 even brighter.
The N10 has more natural colours, but they look a little flat; P900 was in dynamic mode.

How good is 4K compared to FHD (Video Snapshot).

Here is an example, of what does UHD (4K) means compared to FHD (1K).
The picture simply puts 4K to FHD side by side, and some resolution information, and the size of the extracted snapshots using VLC player.

And if you see the picture and say that the FHD looks brighter, its because of the angel that the phone was, the Z2 respectively.
The letter "s" is followed by "c" which makes the word screen, taken by the back of screen protector pack.
I was just cirious if the Z2 produces a real 4K shots, since 3rd party apps like google camera would not detect 4K, so i just tested it out by myself and figured it finally!

Screen Resolution/Choppy images & videos

Recently I have noticed in a lot of apps where images and videos look pixelated/compressed. Usually only a preview image/icon or a video that is not being viewed in full screen has this issue. Videos look choppy/compressed if it's embedded or just a preview size. Once I make the video full screen, it looks fine. And once I expand an image it looks fine. For instance in Google photos, an image preview square looks pixelated and choppy, but when I view the image it looks fine. Contacts pictures look choppy until I enlarge and view the contact photo.
I have tried changing the display size, clearing cache, factory reset, pretty much everything, but haven't found anything. And it's not a problem, but it just gets on my nerves. Everything looks like a compressed jpg image.

How do you feel about this app?
I think the image is a bit vague and doesn't look perfect. It is an excellent way to have fun and see yourself in such a dimension. However, the face is faded and looks worse. I never liked such apps because they make all faces look the same as if it was one person. I like art for revealing who we are through the canvas. When I draw a portrait, I try to choose the colors and moves which would reveal someone's specific features. If you need an artist's advice, you can find it here https://www.photolamus.com/
