Re: BlessN900 - better camera for N900
 

+1, having the same problem. doesnt happen to all pictures on my device, though.

Re: BlessN900 - better camera for N900
 

I found that editing the image slightly regenerates the thumbnail. Like adding +1 to contrast or flipping it vertically twice. Just a workaround anyway.

Re: BlessN900 - better camera for N900
 

for the thumbnail corruption, just don`t close the program when you take the photos....wait for it a little until it generates the thumbnails

Re: BlessN900 - better camera for N900
 

I usually wait after taking a pic until the progress indicator stops spinning on the left side, before I hit it to see the image viewer. If I wait longer (ie. twice the spinning time) the thumbnail looks fine. Maybe the spinning time is too short for the thumbnail to be generated properly?

been playing with blessn900 today - excellent results. The GUI is a million times better than before, speed of operation is much better too, and the x4 zoom is amazingly good as long as you keep the camera steady for the shot.

Could you always take further shots while the spinning dots were doing their thing to indicate post-processing? You probably could, but it never occured to me. Much better now I know that!

I'm at the point where I'm now going to use it as my default camera app (via quick-launch) in preference to the stock camera app ... goodbye noisy, blue hazed night images, hello continuing to listen to my music whilst taking snaps! K

Keep up the good work guys. Widescreen option would be a nice addition for next release :-)

Took the new blessn900 to the beach today and took some fantastic pictures. Especially the Shallow-mode is a wonderful addition.

Just to get home and find not a single photo had been saved. They were all gone.

So I checked the settings, and indeed it was set to save to SD only - which I am not using at the moment.
BlessN900 happily discarded any picture I took without ever missing a beat. It even gave me the info message that an unprocessed image had been saved when there wasn't enough light for Shallowmode. Never was I told that it didn't actually save anything. No error message, nothing.

I know , I know - who am I to judge. The program is nice, and it's free. Still, it never told me that it wasn't actually saving the beautiful pictures that took me hours to take, just throwing them right into the virtual dumpster.

Always check your settings first. Lesson learned.

I had a similar issue with Panorama : the "Save" dialog was set to "/" by default, and I didn't notice at first, just pressing "OK".

Writes failed silently because of the user permissions, without any alert. Lost a couple that way before I finally realized...

Actually the focus was on him but have you ever tried to get a 17 month old to stay still :)

Re: BlessN900 - better camera for N900
 

How about some custom combination functions and scriptable shooting? (like, you take several shots at the same parameters in sequence and compose them together with additive blending to simulate shooting in B mode, or you take a sequence of photos each focusing on a different "quadrant" on a grid and then compose them shots together resulting in an image that kinda got the right focus everywhere at once. or you take an sequence of shots doing all the possible combinations of focus and exposure (preferably with some indication in the file name or in the metadata about the parameters) to use with a visualizer program that changes the focus and exposure live as you move the mouse cursor over the image making the point/area under the cursor have the best parameters, kinda like simulating an eye looking at the scene live. or you could shoot a sequence and compose the images with only the pixels brighter than the existing pixels being inserted for a different looking light painting etc, possibilities are endless)

I'm re-installing blessN900 now :) let's hope it is better like the hype all about :D
