Nokia Photo Browser Updated

Posted on 15. Jun, 2009 by geek in Applications, Symbian | 2 comments

Nokia Photo Browser is an experimental photo browser that makes your viewing experience quick and fun:

• Pleasing visual effects
• Intuitive touch UI
• Magnifying glass
• Face browsing

New changes in the update are:

• Better zoom image quality — needs a few seconds to load the sharper image
• Menu — long press in the grid view to bring it up
• Folder sorting in the grid view — accessible from the menu
• Send function — accessible from the menu
• Image rotation and deletion — accessible from the menu
• Better rendering and image processing speed in general

Another learning we have made is that the touch UI seems to be offering much better user experience than that of non-touch UI.

You will most likely encounter “not compatible” warning message.  Please just proceed with your installation.

How to use:

Please allow a few seconds for each picture to generate a thumbnail for the first time. While the thumbnail is not ready, Photo Browser shows either gray box or low resolution image (looks blurry in the single image view).  Once generated, the picture will load very quickly from the next time.

Touch UI

• Strokes, drags, and taps should work as you’d expect
• In the grid view:
  • Long press to bring up the menu
• In the single image view:
  • Long press to start the magnifier
  • Double-tap will start the regular zoom
  • Double-tap on a face will start the face browsing
  • In the face browsing mode, a stroke will travel between faces

Keys

• Press hang-up key to exit the Photo Browser
• C-key or back space to delete the image
• Devices with traditional 12-button keyboard:
  • ‘0′ to rotate the screen
  • In the single image view, ‘*’ to zoom-in, ‘#’ to zoom-out
• Devices with Qwerty keyboard:
  • Space to rotate the screen
  • ‘q’ to zoom-in, ‘w’ to zoom-out
  • ‘a’ to left-rotate, ‘w’ to right-rotate the image file
