Turn ur 6600 VGA cameras into 1.3 Megapixel one

[OMENs]

There is a new app called PhotoAcute that can make you take 1.3Megapixel photos using ur regular nokia VGA ones.

I tried it and it actually works.

PS. I tried to attach some pics but whenever I press the manage attachments button the internet explorer crashes.

[vic_2010]

Does it work with 3650??

[Iceman5]

omg! seriously? i didnt think that was even possible... hows the quality??

u got it off irc right?

[AkiraYuki]

Just downloaded the trial version from their website ( www.photoacute.com )
and it doesn't work on my 6600.

[Neorevolution]

i tested on my 3650, but requires lot's of memory :-o

[AkiraYuki]

Yeah, according to the website it's designed for 3650 and 3660! Pesky little varmits! Why write a top program for an out of date phone (3650)??

[Iceman5]

ok i tested the trial and it WORKED on my 6600.... and holy crap it took my entire screen when sent to comp! its HUGE... didnt know my phone could do this :-P

the picture quality could be better but i guess it was bad coz i didnt hold the phone still when taking the pic at all... besides on their webbie they say that they'll improve the quality in future versions.... looking forward to it (+crack)... it took a pretty long time to save the picture tho... but its sure worth it!

[AkiraYuki]

What firmware are you using? I'm on v4.09.1 (26-02-04).
When I run the program it just hangs on the splash screen. If I press the right softkey, I get the options "Photo Album" , "Register" and "Exit". Only "Exit" works.

[Space monkey]

I have to see this with my own eyes before i believe it

[john74]

i tried it on firmware version 3.42 and it works fine on the 6600

[j0j0]

photoacute full is out in #aivanet and to my wap page

and i hope tommorow in www.aivanet.com
get it:

photoacute.100.cracked-d3sign.zip (http://www.aivanet.com/gr/index.php?show=10&name=photoacute.100.cracked-d3sign.zip)

[Space monkey]

Only just out and already cracked.

You gotta love these guys! :D

[nk_au]

Yep. Works on 6600. But I can't see much difference between a normal taken picture from Camera ... and a Processed picture from PhotoAcute ...

Can you guys share your pics? Want to see some distinctice differences

[whitey420]

quality diffrence is huge :-o :D !
check images
image1 is photoacute and image(034) is normal cam software
(im using 6600)

[nk_au]

Umm ... attachments pending approval?

Can you send them via e-mail? <no send mes>

I presume the photo quality is really good if you said the word 'huge' :D

[whitey420]

yea they been sent

[nk_au]

yea they been sent

Thanks man. And my bad. There is a difference ... a HUGE difference ...

[Hunzol]

hahah the funniest thing i heard all week, you's seriously think you's can magicaly upgrade a .3 of a megapixel camera to a 1.3? Now thats funny.

[nk_au]

Funny? Yes
I'm not sure about the .3 to 1.3 Mega Pixels ...

But what I do know, is that the processed picture does get a bit better

[Space monkey]

I see jojo has keeped his promiss and uploaded the cr*cked version to aivanet.com

You're the best! :D

[schizo]

this is the bomb!
im using it on my 6600 and no errors so far.
this is really great! hahaha

[smithdogg]

this is sersiously true? how on earth can it work and why wouldnt nokia have done it?

[smithdogg]

ahh its shit i wouldn't bother with it

[tzeonn]

@nk_au no send mes!

pix approved.

[c00per]

Guys this little program is worth buying. Really, I've just installed the 'fixed' version and it rocks. made a picture and enhanced it to the 1.3 mp size. But i thought whats the effort? I mean Adobe can process these pics much quicker!! So I took the Studio pic the proggie also makes (the smale picture) and resized it with Adobe elements to 1280 x 960 and the quality was much worse than the proggie on my 6600 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :)

OMG Finally after all this time there is a innovative program (again).

bye all I know I'm going to make much more pics now :)

[sidzzz]

installed it ....

but the photo gallery doesnt open and also cant find the picture in the gallery.

just that there are files of extn .sqd , .sqi and .sqt

what can be the possible problem.

[Sordatino]

Did you process the pic?

P.S.: pics quality is still low, but with this babe it rises a lot...

[Bossworld]

All it's doing is enlarging the picture at the time isn't it?

There's no real advantage? :S

Oh well i'll have a look at it

[whitey420]

nah man it makes it bigger and better quality, i take picture with normal cam of my computer and the monitor is just white fuzzzy but with photoacute u can see whats on the screen.

[dark-ilong]

help me guys ant see the pic after it was saved. what folder will go?

[j0j0]

i have to mention that photoacute doesnt work with my 7650
and any 7650, yet!
saves by default the pics in MMC, which we dont have

[cyclonefr]

please help me i just have saved pics in my MMC as image1.SQD i dont know how to read it on my pc even on myphone thnax

[BarboRV[ITA]]

See this two Photos taked with my syster's 3650:

PhotoAcute
http://barborv.250free.com/PhotoAcuteApps.jpg

NormalCamera
http://barborv.250free.com/CameraApps.jpg

The quality is really better

[cowboytuna]

yea, how do u view the pics taken? after taking the pics, it doesnt open on my gallery... :(

[cowboytuna]

wow! wat a big difference! im still having problems here. still cant open the picture files on gallery which are taken by photoacute.

[Musicb0ffin]

I thought this app was a fake at first, but its not!! Amazing...

You need to scroll accross to the 4th menu (far right) and use up and down to scroll through the pics. When u get the one u want, press the left soft key, and select process. It takes a while, probably cuz the processor in my 3650 is quite slow, but then the pic is put in your images folder. It even gives you the original as well, which is quite cool. I'm still trying to work out the other menus at the top. One changes how many photos it takes. On changes between day and night... Can't work out the other one.

Does anyone know of that app which lets you compress your RAM without restarting? That would be really handy, cuz this app needs loads of RAM to run. It would save restarting.

[tzeonn]

well, system tools can compress ram.

[Musicb0ffin]

yeah, thats the one!! Cheers

[cyclonefr]

already waiting for version 2.0 of this soft :)
else ive found sthg interesting :
http://www.photoacute.com/guide.html

anyone got the best config ;)?

[imranac]

ok..
i took two photos with my
normal 6600 CAM and the PhotoAcute..

well not jus two photos..
but a couple of it...

did the processing
(took a hell of a lot of time I tell you..) :rolleyes:

I noticed a BIG difference..
the main one being the size...

but hey..

I enlarged (zoomed) the pic I took with my normal CAM
and it looks (almost) the same!? (no pixelization!)

don't you guys notice this?!
I mean.. a little tweaking in photoshop could get you the same quality
(jus a lil bit of softening and edge enhance would do!) :-P

That's just my personal point of view..

anyways... photoacute is good stuff..
hope they make good changes in the future versions

[cyclonefr]

i totally agree with u, and u know this is the way the soft works but i do regret a lack of speed with this first release too long for a conversion !

[cyclonefr]

anyone tryed this app on 7610?? is it 3Mpixel?

[imranac]

anyone tryed this app on 7610?? is it 3Mpixel?

lol cyclone...
7610 ain't released yet...

waiting for it..

will post pics when I get my hands on that lil devil!
(jus love the black one!)

check out the pics taken by nokia 7610

(this one is the low resolution version!)

and this one (from the 3G mobile website)

http://www.threegmobile.net/gallery0403/nokia7610/e01.jpg

cheers!

[Quake3000]

hmm well it are hard to tell the diffrence there!it seems like the picture are better than the orginal so it is a cool app 8-)

[cowboytuna]

its definetly cool! ive tested it and the quality is good! i mean, i took a picture of a box using the default cam software and this app. in the picture which i used this app, the markings on the box are clearly seen while on the default software, the markings arent as visible as the picture taken with this app even if i zoomed it in. so for me, thumbs up for this app!

[marklloydbinar]

nice changing of ideas on this appz, photoAcute....
All i can say is.. this apps really rocks when you use your phone as a digicam and you bring it to the kodak center or any picture center to develop it, the prints of picture is in high quality coz of 1280by960 pixels.
try to snap two pictures using photoacute and your phone builtin camera apps, and bring anywhere has picture express who accept developing and printing your pictures on phone and you see the differences......


apps 4 all

[Space monkey]

I'll be damned! It works! :D

Okay it takes up a lot of memory (3MB) and time (2 min. ) to generate the picture, but still... IT WORKS!

Looking forward to version 1.01

[roquejo]

Actually I'm still skeptical regarding the improvement. I compared them side by side and it seems that the picture was just enlarged. I used IE, paint and Photo Editor to compare it. Any suggestion what software will I use to really test the difference?

What is the optimal setting to see the difference? You can change the jpg quality (default 3) as well the number of snapshots (default 4)the program will use.

[Space monkey]

Optimal settings are snapshots to 8 and jpeg compression to 1

[cyclonefr]

now try not to move for about 8Sec enjoy!

[Space monkey]

yeah its a drawback, but it works you get sharper pictures

[McF_182]

I dont know if they really are sharper. I maxed out the pictures at 8 and compression at 1 and took about 4 different pictures. The picture taken with the regular camera looked almost the exact same only smaller. I dont think they have me convinced yet.

[Mariuszek]

Just compare:

Normal photo:

640x480 (http://home.swipnet.se/~w-151649/photo6600/640x480.jpg)

The same normal photo, I have just made it biger in photoshop so it will be 1280x960 px

640x480 -biger (http://home.swipnet.se/~w-151649/photo6600/640x480_2.jpg)

And the photo taken using this program:

1280x960 (http://home.swipnet.se/~w-151649/photo6600/1280x960.jpg)

Now its for You to decide...

[yeekinmeng]

errrrr......sorry dont quite know about pic......but all i c is a brighter pic. wonder if it were to put it on our pc screen will it b blur after enlarge it?

cheers.......

Hi Mate :)

My Name's Raj,
I've Just Bought An New N6600
So Plz Guide Me As An Younger Brother..

I've Got 2 Questions

1. Where Can I Get Photo Acute Full Version Free For My Nokia 6600 ?

2. I've Heard That There Is A Software Which We Can Install on N6600 which can Change The BACK GROUND Voice when you'r on a Call..
Also Heard that there's a Software that can Change your Voice

Can You Plz Help You Brother !!!
Whats The Name Of The Software And Where Can I Download The Full Version For Free ?

Plz Help Me Brother
Luv Raj :)

[nk_au]

Ok, now to business ...

Firstly, you must understand that NFREE tries to prevent any cracks or warez existing in this forum. So next time, visit www.aivanet.com (at the moment down) or a similar site.
If you know what mIRC is, access #mediaplace or #aivanet through an EFNET server

Secondly, the program that plays a background sound while ur in a call is called "SounderCover". For a 6600, you need the version 1.21 installed, and change the Mode to "Mode2". If you use a SX1, Mode2 is for you too. Mode1 is only for 3650, 7650 and N-Gage.

Thirdly, I don't think there is a program that changes your voice during a call. If there is ... I'm eager to search for it. I want to sound like Darth Vader to my friends ...

Hope that helps!

[theremoids]

Version 1.01:

-High-contrast areas artifacting fixed
-Lower noise in output pictures
-Help added!

and... now automatically deletes the 3 bummer temp files... great!!!
get it at aivanet.

[real_inn]

Man this app. is really gr8, i love this.. i have nokia 3650 and it's working pretty fine..

[Kniteforce]

I have tested version 1.01

Nokia 6600, compression level 3

Pic taken with Nokia Cam. (resized to 1280x980)
nokia cam. (http://www.mclam.cistron.nl/test/nokia.jpg)
Pic taken with Photo Acute 1.01 not processed. (resized to 1280x980)
orginal (http://www.mclam.cistron.nl/test/org.jpg)
Pic taken with Photo Acute 1.01 processed. (resized by PhotoAcute)
processed (http://www.mclam.cistron.nl/test/procesed.jpg) ;)
Zoomed and resized parts.
zoom (http://www.mclam.cistron.nl/test/Image2.jpg)

I think the processed is sharper with a little bit blurr and the colors are more naturaly. The other ones are blocky by the resize process with photoshop.

[Mariuszek]

So its realy not so much difrece.
Its the same if we use normal camra app and the resize it in photoshop.
it the same thing :lol:

[Kniteforce]

I don't think so, the wall textures of the Photo Acute picture are sharper then the orginal Nokia resized one. I think this app works fine but it's to slow.
unless you want to print your photo's from your phone.

[ducklegsux]

in photoshop when you resize small pic to a bigger pic = blur parts all over
but when you resize bigger pic to small pic the sharpness still retains which is why we have over 5Mpixdigital cam

[McF_182]

Ok guys, I think I have found an answer. I found this over in the Mediaplace forum:

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in PhotoAcute!

The current version of PhotoAcute is tuned for Nokia 3650. Nokia 6600 has
different camera, so the 3650 version will not give high quality on 6600.
The version for 6600 will be released in a week.

Sincerely,
PhotoAcute Team

I know that I have been comparing the 2 fotos with my 6600, and could not tell a difference. Maybe when the new version that is optimized for the 6600 is released, we will all be able to see the difference!?

[Vampish]

Hi,
Check out the differences with these pics I took of a magazine cover (text is the toughest to capture) with my 6600 (8 snapshots, JPEG compression level 1):

Standard:

http://img50.photobucket.com/albums/v154/Vampish/Nokia%206600%20Photos/image49_std0.jpg


With PhotoAcute:

http://img50.photobucket.com/albums/v154/Vampish/Nokia%206600%20Photos/image49.jpg

You can tell the edges and words are a lot sharper and more readible and for colour shades, you can compare the difference between the word "Stuff" on top. The PhotoAcute-processed image is a lot richer and has minimal noise.

;)

[Andrea Bianchi]

I tried it out and have to say that I really do not notice any big difference.
I use the phone to call and the photos I take, I just keep them in my phone.
When I look at both photos (1 taken with the original software and the other with photoacute) they look very VERY similar. Not a big difference as I said before.
Not that great discover so far :rolleyes:

[roquejo]

Can someone test if the 6600 version is better than the 3650 version? It's out on IRC but no one has posted it on www.aivanet.com yet.

[gece78]

It's hard to tell, but I think it's just a little bit better. (6600 version)

[mapla]

http://www.aivanet.com/pages/sendsymbian.php?Product=../download/symbian/photoacute.101.updated-d3sign.zip&DownloadID=3901

Try this,the latest update 1.01 but after processing the tmp file is not deleted?

theremoids is this the correct ver for 6600?

[roquejo]

Nope, that's not the 6600 version but version 1.01 for 3650

[cyclonefr]

well i dl/ed the new version on irc which is actually 2Kb more! well it still is the 1.01 so i doubt it changes things...or it's a fake

[lincoln]

First you have to understand how digital cameras compress images. The images are normally compressed using a jpeg style color matching system. Very similiar colors that are located next to each other are matched and saved as the same color. Try it yourself, take a photo and save it using very little compression, then save the original using heavy compression, you will see the compressed version has color lines where the software has matched similiar colors then resaved it as the same color. This leads to fewer colors and hence a smaller file. Each time you take a photo, even of the same scene, the compression saves each pixal with slight changes. It may look exactly like the photo you just took, but if you zoom you can see the individual pixal differences. So you can take multiple photos of the same image and collapse them onto each other generating an image with more variety in pixal color changes "less jpeg compression" and end up with an image that is a "better" or larger. More photos = more information = a better photo. If you look at this companies web site they are using this same techique which I originally read about in the early days of digital cameras. And a large photo at the same rez of a smaller photo is a better photo. Hope this helps, lincco.com

J.

Keep checking my group for latest updates on TrueTones..

www.groups.yahoo.com/group/freetruetones

[Iceman5]

thats ok =) no problem at all

[Seremify_Au]

How does it work?

PhotoAcute makes several snapshots in series, thus acquiring more graphic information. Using sophisticated, proprietary algorithms it combines the individual snapshots to produce one large-sized and high-quality image. It also performs image processing to make it sharper and remove defects. Using the state-of-art algorithms allows achieving great increase in quality. (See details in the Technology section)

... taken from the website.

Hmm, well, doesn't that mean it takes multiple camera photos from different positions? So when you go to use it, do you have to take several shots?

I'd try it if i had 6600; but I fail to see the pt since i have 7610.

[hem2005]

hi friends i am new ere :) :lol:
