> More realistic beautiful jpg pics on your T68
Bookmark topic
Hi all,
I have been using MyPicture software to cable my jpgs to my T68 for quite some time now. I observed that if I use the "send file to phone" under the "file" menu option, the jpgs appear very (I mean really really a lot) much better in the phone than using the "send picture to phone" under the "background" menu option.
Jpgs now look very much like when view on the computer monitor. The latter option (send picture to phone under "background" menu) really really sucks, and it does not do any justice to the phone display.
I now am very proud to show pic clips of my family through my phone with these images. Previously, pics are really "unshowable"...
Any points?

I've had the same experience after sending many gifs to my phone. The problem is i use a theme editor and must have everything compressed to a gif file, use the editor, and send the .thm file through ir. Any whoughts on whether i can preserve the jpeg quality that way?
BTW, it all looks really fine and great on my pc but shockingly pathetic when it comes out on the phone.

Hi mark,
I have tried sending gifs, jpgs to the Ericsson mobile internet and then download the files I sent through WAP. The pics all turn up junk! I guess they have a specific set of 256 colour palette. When a pic turned up, it is converted to that palette before it can be displayed during wap and then downloaded. Thus, many of the "correct" colours from our pic are replaced or removed in the process. The same goes for the IR process or the "send pic to phone" option in the MyPicture software. Our pics are colorised to the specified 256 colour palette on the software and our phones.
If you want great looking pics on your phone, do get a data cable and send your pics through the method I recommend. That way, the phone display the image "raw", un"colorised", thus closer to the original pic source.
If you are staying in Sinagpore, you can get a third party cable from SLS which some posted here in the forum that works with our T68. But I will suggest that you pay more and go for the original.
Hope this help.

Hi,
sorry, my country doesn't support MMS yet. I will try to post the difference between 2 same pics transmitted through the 2 methods.

Thanks for the tip lesneo.
I've tried using this tip which was posted on esato before:
Import a t68 256 colour palette into photoshop, edit/resize your pic, convert to index colour and use the t68 colour palette. This is SUPPOSED to solve the colour issue but somehow, it still gets really crap in the conversion.
I've already shelled out SD$78 on a rather good ir port and am quite unwilling to get a data cable as I can use the ir for the same operations (syn, backup, etc.) as a data cable.

Oh yah, another question. A file is a file. How can a file be altered by its mode of transfer (data cable vs. IR)? Just wondering.

Hi Mark,
I've downloaded the profile before and had called it up in Photoshop before editing my pic.
Like you said, the pic turned up crap.
I strongly believed that jpg works better for photo cos it is not restricted by the 256 colour boundary. the file size may be bigger but we get more beautiful pics.
Try using the "send file to phone" option under the "file" menu in the MyPicture software from Ericsson. IR works for this option too if you have the phone monitor activated.
Try it, I believe you will be as happy as I am.
Anyway, after getting my USB cable, I have the serial one (drs-10) as spare. Wanna buy it? I can sell it cheap... no obligations.

That's fine if you're just talking about backgrounds. What I mean is what about themes? In a themes editor, you put in pics for the background, desktop and headers as well. Can the pic quality be saved in anyway?

Following a tip I got here I have tried to keep original picture size to 256kb before resizing to gif for using in themes.
I transfer themes at home using data cable on my desktop and ir from my laptop.
Themes I make on the desktop appear much better than the ir transferred ones.
I have just transferred some of these files from my phone to my laptop using ir and my theme editor cannot read them!
