Re: Retro camera app - Need image processing advice
 

It's good to see lots of people having success with this application. I'm not sure why some people are having installation problems but one thing I neglected to mention was that it requires you to be using PR1.2 for the Qt dependencies.

The camera app is on it's way. Originally, Classic Print was developed as a desktop application so I could try out the different photo effects. I thought it might be quite fun for others so I ported it to N900 and tidied it up a bit.

I intend to lift a lot of functionality from Classic Print and put it straight into the camera app, which I've already developed a significant amount of. I plan on making them share settings so if you configure lenses, films and processes in Print then they will work in the camera as well.

You're trying to install a .deb file from Mydocs that you've stored in documents. Move the file to MyDocs or 'cd' to documents, that should do it ;)

Re: Retro camera app - Need image processing advice
 

isn't MyDocs the same folder that's listed under
Nokia N900/Documents in file manager?

if not how can i download the file to MyDocs? the Documents folder or memory card are the only save to options i can find.

*edit* i figured it out, and to answer my own question no MyDocs and the Documents folder in file manager are not one and the same. I had to connect via usb and copy the file from where it was downloaded (Documents) back into the unnamed directory directory before it which is guess is MyDocs

Great app. Cheers

Re: Retro camera app - Need image processing advice
 

absolutely awesome!
thanks for the efforts, this is the most fun app i have on my N900 by far :-)

ideas for improvements - NOT demands of you:-)
1. "ok" and "cancel" buttons everywhere, if i go into a menu i might wanna cancel out instead of letting the app redo the picture every time.
2. a button on the mainscreen to load another picture, ofcourse asking you if you want to save or discard changes
3. any way to randomize the light leaks? or for us to prepare our own templates for light leaks?
4. an option to over and under expose the picture, preferably in the film settings
5. option to change tint, not only temperature
6. the file open menu behavior is annoying, when it opens it shows me the newest pics, then a second later it goes to the first pic i ever took. would be nice if it was consistent, preferably starting from the newest pics taken.

now then, how can we help?

Re: Retro camera app - Need image processing advice
 

@bmac the MyDocs directory is located at /home/user/MyDocs and it's the same as your 'N900' in your file system on the phone :) If you want to move a file to there or anywere just tap and hold on the file and then select move and a popup window wil appear. Then just select the directory/map by navigating through that popup window :) No need to connect to a pc to move a file inside the N900 :D

thanks for your reply, yea i totally forgot about one of your replies earlier on in this post .

really look forward to classic cam now, its is just what i was hoping to get on n900, thanks for your good work and effort

Re: Retro camera app - Need image processing advice
 

thanks good to know!

Re: Retro camera app - Need image processing advice
 

@itaychi - thanks for the very useful feedback. To answer your questions:

1. I thought about adding OK/Cancel buttons but due to space limitations decided to leave them off. I'll try squeezing them on if I can because it also annoys me that you can't look at settings without reprocessing.

2. You can load a different image by touching the currently loaded image. I don't think a prompt to save is necessary as the settings are not lost on loading a different image.

3. I intend to put a "random" option in for the light leaks. You can add your own leaks if you want by adding jpg files to /opt/classicprint/config/light_leak. The filename you use will appear in the menu. If you make any good ones then, if you let me have them I'll put them into the package for the next release.

4. Good idea. There's also plenty of room in the "film" settings :)

5. Same as 4.

6. As far as I can tell, this is a Qt bug. It's very annoying and I'll try to find a workaround but I can't promise anything.

Right, time to get working on those changes... :)

Re: Retro camera app - Need image processing advice
 

can i also suggest a complete 'random mode'? as in as soon as i load a picture, it automatically edits it in a random manner.

that would be even better when classic cam is developed!
