I've put "avatar" PNGs for some of my contacts in "My Pictures", and these are displayed when I go into Album or Slideshow.
The standard contact avatars (i.e. "~Avatar-xx.png) are in the same folder, but they don't display - anyone know how this works? I'd like to exclude my own contact pictures in the same way (but display other files I have in "My Pictures").
After i synced my facebook account with my phone, it added all the pictures for my contacts, and replaced my outlook photos. Is there a way to remove the pictures and disable the picture function? i tried to search but found no help
don't know if it help you... Go to contact card, hit "edit contact" and when in edit mode click picture of contact. You will have pop up menu with options to use:
Facebook, outlook, album or no picture
Is it possible to do it all at once?

I don't believe so.
When you view your contacts info, there is a tab Photo Gallery selection. How do I associate photos I receive from that contact into that area?
In Settings > Accounts and Sync, two accounts are listed. One is Yahoo and Other is Google. Now, for Google, contacts, mail, calendar and picasa web albums are listed. I understood all but I did not get Picasa Web Albums here because there is no app for picasa web album in my phone. Can anyone please explain me the working of sync feature for Picasa Web Albums here?
Also, for Yahoo account, only contact option is listed. Now, I understand that if I add/remove any contact from my Yahoo account on web, that will be reflected in my phone contacts but from the phone contacts, there is no way to add/remove Yahoo contact. Can anyone explain this also?
Please let me know if I am not explaining it correctly and need to explain it in better way to get answered.

Check Contact list -> Pick some contact which has at least 1 photo inside Picassa (and You have it synced) -> go to Media tab
Thanks Hawan for the reply. Do you mean to say: If I have contact X saved as Google contact and I have photo of that contact in my picasa account then this photo is shown on the media tab of contact X and can be synced between phone and web if Sync Picasa Web Album option is checked?

My stock 2.1 ROM displayed my Picasa albums under "Gallery" when sync was enabled. Now i use Kyrillos's rom and miss many things (gtalk, Gallery, etc...)
Whenn you select the picasia album sync, allows you to view, download and upload photos to your picasia/google account, if you have pictures in picasia you can see them in the stock gallery app, go to galery and searh the album named picasia.
The prupose of sync mail accounts allows you to link your contacts with their mails and information but the only mail account that can edit contacts is google,

Yes Giosiken. After enabling picasa album sync in my phone, I am able to view all the photos that are uploaded in my picasa account in my phone. But is there any way that I can upload the photos that are in my phone to picasa web album?
Well its pretty easy, go to the gallry and do a long touch over the pic or album you want to upload to select them, a menu appears, select the share option and select picasia

Giosiken,
That option appears even when I have not selected picasa web album sync....i want to know only the features that are enabled by selecting picasa web album sync?
One that I know is: Gallery shows picasa web album photos after selecting that option.
I just want to know photos between which sync occurs after selecting this option?
I dont think that more options are "unlocked" by selecting sync picasia albums, the feature allows you to explore and edit your picasia web albums directly into your phone and having linked your account to.your.phone.you can manually.upload your pics to new almbus in picasia account, the feature does not upload every photo you have in the phone. By the way why you are so interested in this?

just out of curiosity :)
As synce always happens between two instances of the same entity, I was wondering, between which two instances of photos the sync happens if that option for sync picasa photo album is checked?
I haven't used that sync option but from their postis it seems to me that it is completely obvious what is happening.
I have Google+ synchronizing with my contact list as it fills in a lot of pictures that I don't have for contacts. However, for one contact, I have a much better quality picture of them I would like to use. If I set the picture as their contact photo however, it doesn't change - the Google+ one remains. If I edit the contact I can see that locally the picture is being saved correctly, but the phone appears to be choosing to use the Google+ picture anyway. How do I make the phone choose what I've locally saved instead?

Obviously you can either chose to use G+ or your phone contact pictures, not preferably one from here and one from there.
But why not just sign into your gmail and manage your G+ photos and replace the low res one with the one you like, sync and you're done.
Go to google . com / contacts and set the picture there.
Right, so I removed the locally stored contact picture and instead went to my Google Contacts and updated it there, and when it synced back to the phone, it still uses the Google+ picture instead of the picture I want. The only way I can stop this is to disable Google+ contact sync, but then I lose a lot of pictures for my other contacts.
open your contact, hit menu, then select "Mark as default"
you can then choose which one you want

Thanks! Is there a way I can reset this setting if I'd like to in the future?
