Hello,
I am looking for an app to annotate maps.
Meaning, open up a jpeg, zoom into it at some arbitrary point, and then write on it/draw arrows.
I am, for some stupid reason, finding it hard to find one.
I see lots of various 'editors' like photoshop express that let you do crop/color changes/etc. But not just DRAW.
photo.editor by dev.macgyver has a zoom - which doesn't let you scroll afterwards. So you can only draw in the center. So that's useless.
Sketchtalk mobile FCed on me.
Why is it so hard to find a decent s-pen drawing app? @#&$#&@$#@
- Frank
The only app I've found which does what you're asking for is Skitch, but for some reason when using the s-pen the drawings are rather laggy. Not so when you use your finger, but I'd much rather use the s-pen.

Yea, skitch works. Thanks!
What is most annoying is that when you take a screenshot, it goes into some sort of editor that does exactly what I want.
But I have no clue how to trigger it manually (screenshot is much lower res than my actual picture)

I think it opens s-note when you do that, but from what I can tell it's all fixed to a certain resolution and your images just get resized to fit.
You could always find yourself a copy of photoshop touch v1.3.2 (this specific version)
you can draw on canvases up to 4000x4000 and it supports layers too

I tried it out - you are correct, it is indeed s-memo.
You can import pictures into s-memo (it's a little tedius, to be honest), but s-memo will resize your picture to some reduced size. (the 'fit to screen resolution', looks like)

Skitch seems like it should be the right program but air view seems to mess with it. It is impossible to select things consistently and I get lines and thing sdrawn when I am not touching the screen

Photoshop touch says it is "incompatible with my device"
I can't see a way to get the specific version you mention.
this app looks pretty good seen here

Sketchbook Mobile is the best drawing app imo.
sketchbook mobile it is - skitch is just too freakin' laggy with the pen.
SKM is horribly confusing, but once you get it worked out it's alright.

The in-program help is just brutally bad.

Try photo desk. It let's you open any photo you have and draw on it https://play.google.com/store/apps/..._medium=organic&utm_term=photodesk+play+store
Doesn't cut it for you to just get to wherever point in the map and doing a screenshot and drawing on it? it's pretty straight-forward.

Smemo resizes the picture to screen resolution, and also doesn't allow reopening saved images. Sometimes that isn't acceptable. It's great for those other times though.

In the samsung apps store, there is a free app called 'Photo editor' that does the job just fine too.
The drawing is in a weird place, and I missed it originally.
When you open a pic, you are in a 'effects' submenu. Back out (left arrow in the top bar)
Now go into 'decoration' (!) -> drawing -> pen
And you can now draw/save/etc.

You could try picsay, or picssy pro from the play store. I have used it for years, and it is great, for everything you can think of for editing, annotations, colour corrections. It doesn't have the professional feel of Photoshop, it's more artistic

That is all very great (I was really frustrated last night, so forgive my rant) but efficiently handwriting on that thing is impossible!
I tried using 3 different styluses and my finger, no way with either method could I walk into a house and take notes and room dimensions with any speed or accuracy.
calling it a note pad and taking out the option to handwrite would be a much better representation of the app.
The ablility to change to change the app to a better handwriting app would be that much better but that's kind of a different rant....
Going through the pen settings in the ICS leak I saw the option for a marker that shows where the pen is hovering but I've only seen it working in Gallery. Anyone notice any other apps that show the icon?
It works in Sketch Book Mobile. Only app I've found that it works in.

It has S-Note (ability to record your self in app with audio and replay)
S-Memo improvements
S-Pen settings have some features added in.
Browser is definitely improved.
ATT Messages app preinstalled. Sorta.
Voice Talk super responsive!
S-pen still not calibrated just right but better.
Rotation more responsive.
New sounds.
Used allshare to stream my own movies to my mac via XMBC (Success!).
Screen only activates facelock when you manually lock the device, otherwise its just a swipe lock.
Update. 4G is way stronger and faster.
couldn't find any more right now.
SMS send button corrected

I've tried and tried to no avail as far as using my palm to get a screenshot. Is it maybe because I'm using ICS perfection based on the newest build?
EDIT: I didn't realize your palm has to touch the screen. Silly me it works flawless. Its actually the quickest way to achieve a screenshot

Is it my imagination:
The android keyboard is less forgiving?
I have way more typing errors than with previous bases.
The gallery looks blurry?
My eyes aren't what they used to be, but . . .
still could use more work
As with the previous leaks some of the issues were not addressed. Basically some will find this leak pleasant and others such as myself not worth the hassle (returning once again back to stock). I quess it all depends on how one uses their phones. For me the task manager (jobmanager.apk) is a must, task manager must be used repeatedly to accomplish anything. Next Bluetooth works, however when using it with Pandora and programs via data I lose the ability to control music using headset (some functions work others don't). Trying to connect to a call via Bluetooth during audio playback in news or Pandora is more trouble than its worth. Tap to zoom while viewing pages over zooms not to big an issue but prefer to have it zoom and fit the screen. Last but not least, I still think the note has the worst call quality of any phone I've ever used was hoping a ROM or update would fix this, of course this is my opinion here. I will give the browser one thumbs up (the other hand is being used to display a middle finger to this leak) it far surpasses the previous stock browser, I'm not a fan of the checkerboard effect. I haven't used this leak long enough to find any other problems.

I'm glad to see that the keyboard problem wasn't just me. I felt like Homer Simpson trying to type. Not only was it generating a lot of typos but it also seemed like the auto-correct was acting like a drunk Marine... way too aggressive and usually wrong. The strange part is that I encountered the exact same problem with the android keyboard, the samsung keyboard, ICS keyboard, A.I. Type, and Swype. Swiftkey has acted fairly good for me though. I imagine there has to be some component, related to autocorrect, that all of the other keyboards share but Swiftkey doesn't.
I seems that the hidden menu:
*#*#4636#*#*
is not working anymore. I think this is a new issue, before this was always working.
I also don't like too much this new keyboard ... too many typos.
So is it the way the screen reads your fingertips, or is the dictionary a suck-hole?

Hello. Got my VZW Galaxy Note 2 on launch day. Really really liking it a lot.
Of course I went through and did the usual "disabling" of apps.
After doing that, I have since realized that the Gallery doesn't have a Photo Editor, not does it have a Video Editor. I was told these needed to be downloaded.
I thought I remembered disabling the Samsung App Store, but for the life of me I can't find it on my device.
I guess I'm looking for the actual name of the app, because maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing?? Or if someone has a link to download the Galaxy Note 2 Photo and Video Editors, that would be great too.
Thanks a lot.

And you're right. Usually at the bottom. That's what had me so tripped up. Haha.

I had the same problem and havnt been able to solve the video one but the photo one I did. Just install the photo editor apk as a sideload app or you can just hold the button on the spen and longpress the screen. It will take a screenshot and let you draw on it.

OK - so I like the "editor" that comes up when you take a screenshot with the S-pen (hold button and long press the screen). How can I use that editor when I am in the gallery and use the "Advanced edit" menu item?
I installed the apk linked to earlier, and now the advanced edit menu gives me a choice of the linked apk and the Paper Artist app. Is the one that happens with the screenshot function an integrated part of the screenshot application??

Its a feature (that mind you doesn't cross platforms) that allows you to simulate writing on the back of your pictures to remember what they were or where they were taken, etc.

My experience is this. If I go into the gallery and open up a picture, I can then hit the menu button and I'm greeted with many options. If I choose However, "Draw on Image" only flips over the picture and lets me draw on the back, not what I want to do. If I scroll down and click on "Advanced Edit", I get the option of choosing either "Photo Editor" , or "Paper Artist". If I choose "Photo Editor", I get the popup message that says, " Photo Editor is not installed on the device. Download Photo Editor?" If I choose "Download", nothing happens. I've tried numerous times and the phone does not link me to the play store or any other app store to download Photo Editor. While I know I am able to sideload the apk, most new customers using the phone for the first time are going to be awfully frustrated when they want to do the one thing Samsung is pushing in their Lebron and family commercial here in the U.S. Not good.
So after fooling around a bit with my note, I was wondering what the best option is for an app that can let you type text and also write on. There are many things I would rather type out than write (notes wise), but the writing is good for formulas and other gimmicks. I have been using S-note, it's good but I don't like the fact that I have to change pages so often. I would rather it be a continuous document like in MS word where I can just keep going vertically.
Any ideas?

The only options I see in Polaris 5 is Shape Draw and Table Draw. Seems that we can't add freehand drawings.
If only Evernote or OneNote would add some decent freehand functions... ("Skitch" is certainly not an option!).
Yes you can
