CHAPTER 18: Taking Photos and Videos
387
Copying Photos to Your Computer
You can get photos from your phone to your computer in many different ways. The
method you use depends on the bandwidth you have available, your privacy concerns
with the photos, and your personal style. You can email photos to yourself or upload
them to Picasa and download them to your desktop from the Web. This may present
privacy issues if the photos are sensitive, and it may just take too long if you’ve taken a
lot of photos.
Syncing media is explained in more detail in Chapter 25: “DROID Media Sync.”
Editing Photos
You can apply effects and choose Scenes, but what if
you want to do something more advanced? What if
you want to add an effect after you’ve already taken
the photo or edit out red eye? Fear not, there are tons
of apps that allow you to edit photos directly from
your phone, and your DROID even ships with
advanced photo editing tools, which were
used on
the image shown here.
Nothing offers the same quality you’d get from a
desktop photo-editing program, but you’re using this
with a phone camera, not the latest SLR.
To edit a photo, do the following:
1.
Go to the
Gallery app
and navigate to the photo you wish to edit.
2.
Press the
Menu
button.
3.
Tap
Edit
.
4.
Tap
Advanced editing
.
5.
If you don’t have any other advanced editing software installed, this will launch
the
Photo Workshop
app. Otherwise, you’ll have a choice.
