Jessica Alba - Sin City Animated Wallpapers for S2U2 (Portrait and Landscape)

ANIMATED GIF Wallpapers of Jessica Alba from Sin City. Nearly all of them I was able to produce a matching portrait and landscape variations
I've spent some time ripping a 640x480 AVI from the HD video. Then converting the AVI into thousands of GIFs, putting them together, framing it for portrait and another copy for landscape and then running it thru some optimizations to try to cut down the filesizes. It took me a while to figure it out and trying all kinds of different video editing/conversion software, but I'm happy with the results. And happy to share it with my favorite PPC community
- 2 Quality Levels. 256 color depth and 32 color depth. As of initial versions no blur effect has been added.
- Accurate Movie Speed. 1/5 the original frame rate but adjusted to be as close as possible animation speed.
- Sub 10sec Duration. Some of the animations that exceeded S2U2's 10 second timeouts have been shorted and frame rate adjusted where seen fit.
Hope everyone likes them as much as I do. Feel free to share this with any other websites but please give me a shoutout for my effort in putting them together
Special thanks to A_C for the great work he's done with S2U2.

I would love to get this one to loop smoothly. It currently goes from surprised/shock to a beautiful smile. I tried deleting the first couple frames so it'll be all smiles but her head position sinks just a little bit so its not as smooth as a transition.

Thanks for your hard work !! They look great

Yeaah boy!! damn.. can't imagine the amount of time you put into this!
Thanks!!!
Oh.. you might want to try looping some of the really nice tidbits to maintain a high fps. But great work nonetheless.

HOT HOT HOT Stuff!!!! Your hard work is looking good!!!

Great awesome work!
I like your help to know what software did you use to create this mind blowing .gif? I want to create a *.gif for my personal portairt to show up when my phone starts.
Also, where did you get the software as well to create this high class *.gif.
Keep the great work!

Once you have a video source you can use Rad Video Tools (Donation-ware) to convert into a GIF.
http://www.radgametools.com/bnkdown.htm
Rad Video lets you convert from a bunch of common video formats into other video formats and even frame-by-frame still images. When I ran my video thru RadVideo it created like 2500 GIF files for the couple minute scene. I flipped thru them and deleted the ones I didn't want. Then I used Adobe Image Ready's import feature.
Image Ready CS lets you import a whole folder worth of GIFs and turns the frames into a single animation. It will put them in the correct order too because Rad Video names them sequentually. All you have to do at that point is save them using "Optimized As...". If you save normally it'll want to save it as a PSD.
Also to get the proper cropping for portrait and landscape I had to do it manually by adjusting the canvas size for each version. I couldn't figure out how to move all the frames at one time which may have been easier. But either way it worked out fairly quickly.

Just put the layers in one group (the folder icon on the Layers Window), then use a CTRL-Drag on the whole group. Hope that helps.

can u please make jessica alba in 320x320 resolution. tnx

wow

If only her acting could be as good as her looks.

She's actually pretty good at acting. Have you seen The Eye? Well, better than Fox at least Btw since I'm on that topic. Would you mind making a Megan Fox one? Or I could just try myself.

camera app that really works - request

Hello to everybody,
Before alot of search i`ll try to ask it to you.
Ìs it possible that there isn`t any apps that let you use all potentility of the g1 camera?
I`ve seen that in hero rom(but now i have cym 4.2.5) the htc camera let you set iso, contrast, night mode, and a lot of features, i`ve buy all camera apps in market but any of these let you set these parameter.
I would pay for an app that let me use my camera in all its features.
Any suggestions?

FXCamera is free and i like it check it out

yes, i've already try it, but it's not what i want

Our product Camera ZOOM FX offers a very high degree of customization of the G1 camera's abilities. A Droid version is expected to be available in the next 10 days. Camera ZOOM FX is available on the Android Market for £1.29 or on the SlideME market.

Snap Photo Pro?

yes, i already buy it, but this not have any contrast regulation, or iso setting or exposure etc.
i would like to have these features but... nobody do that.
The problem i that in low light or in night the photos are so dark.

It's not a DSLR, it's a camera on a phone.

yes i know, but for example in built in camera in hero rom there is the regulation of constrast, saturation and sharpness, and iso, and if i set high iso and low contrast i can take beautiful and clear photos with very low light.

then you should get a hero phone or run a hero rom. again, this is a phone.

g1 camera
well i notice that no matter what program the g1 has its seems that the camera sux!!! is there any way that this can be fixed???

Try xROM.
It's a full rom, not an app.
But it has the Hero camera in it, and it works pretty good in dark light.
The Market does have some very nice camera apps (especially for a phone camera), but I fully understand the op's request. Sometimes it's not feasible to carry around a camera and a phone. For the candid, spur-of-the-moment shots, that's the benefit of having a camera on the phone. Unfortunately, most of these apps do post-processing of photos. That's not much fun when you take multiple photos. The Hero camera, on the otherhand, let's you set the brightness/contrast/etc BEFORE you take the pics. That's a huge benefit when you're in a restaurant or club and want to grab some low light photos.
xROM is a very nice, stable and fast rom. Although it's a bit older of a rom, it still has most of the functionality of the latest roms and pretty much all the speed as well. I believe it's the most recent rom that also had the Hero camera.

Thats why I'm hoping we get some software improvements once the Sony Ericsson phone comes out. I had the k800i Cybershot Phone before the G1, and that phone rocked. The camera software was amazing. I imagine the hardware will limit it of course, but the image processing right after the sensors output should see great improvements that, I hope because of android, will lead to amazing improvements of the camera apps.
I have Snap Photo Pro, FxCamera, and 3DCamera.
In my opinion...
Snap Photo is best for photos that matter the most (but its still not a real cameraphone so you can't expect much). But the detail is there and postediting can fix most issues. And you get the most megapixels compared to the rest.
FxCamera is awesome if you don't mind small photos. Web quality, but not print. Love this app though, and prefer the auto output of the polaroid mode better than auto Snap Photo settings, and use this one the most for casual shots.
Never had a photo from 3dCamera yet. Hoping its a skill level thing and I can make use of th incredible possibilities. But only possibilities so far.

I repeat, if a hero rom can use these features on a g1/dream phone, this mean that a stand alone software for g1 can do that, i think.
Why nobody has developed these features? What is the problem?

I totally agree! I just wish we had an app. in which nightmode actually worked...

is it just me but is FX camera missing from the market now? I havent been able to find it

look, I know the poster should have known root was required - and asking a second time showed how little he does know - but it really isn't necessary to get nasty - it breeds contempt and that is not an environment conducive for good things - you could have easily told him yes root was needed and briefly explained why he should have known without directly calling out his ignorance. That would have been implied in your answer without really saying it.
It isn't all that big of a deal - but one post of negativity leads to another and another and it just isn;t necessary - I am not wanting to get into big fight over this - just thought I would share my two cents.

absolutely - I ahve taken some amazing photos with this camera - I own a 13MB Sony DSLR with Telephoto - with the exception of the Telehpoto images I have taken with the sony - the close ups and macro type images I have taken with the S6 camera stand up to any I have taken with the Sony. AMAZING that such quality images can be taken with a camera on a cell phone. Pretty close to the Number 1 reason I bought this phone. (funny - I buy a phone for the camera ! - but the benefit is that I can make phone calls with it to, and a lot more.... - LOL)

Super res always on disabled
Force sabre off
AI AWB on for everything (all 3 modes)

Only change from default is 'Google AWB' always on.
I personally prefer AI AWB as I care more about skin tones and "memory colours" than actual colour temperature.

Not always, but often.
Actual colour temperature is usually somewhere in the middle.
I wish there was an option to control "AI AWB amount" rather than it just being an on/off switch.
What the AI is doing (for instance) is "thinking": This is a wall, walls are white, I'll adjust the white balance to match that.
In reality, some walls are actually yellow...
I leave it on because I found that it's very good at cancelling unflattering colour casts from artificial light sources such as orange'ish street lights.
The end result may be a less faithful recreation of the actual scene, but a better looking photo that is more similar to how we remember it, as our brain also has a tendency to subliminally "cancel" such colour casts in retrospect.

What Max_hay suggests is HDR+ Control to be set on "ON" so you can switch it off whenever you like.
If this setting is on "OFF" HDR+ stays on all the time

Cstark has stopped developing his Pixel GCam but we have some news:
S4turno said:
New update from MWP:
- Gcam_8.2.204_V1.1_MWP
Changes:
1. Enable face detection
2. Enable focus tracking on video mode ( Thanks cstrak27 )
3. Added JPG quality options ( Thanks PZD )
4. Added DCI-P3 color gamut options
5. Added Pixel 5 AWB ( Thanks Arnova8G2 & Rakin )
6. Added new paramenter on Rampatcher
7. Reduce saturation on my xHDR lib by default
8. Removed Dynamic depth options ( still unstable ), use the "HDR style / model" instead
---
Nikita also released a new update and it mentions Pixels ("Optimized GCam for Google Pixel devices").
I don't know how well it works and it's based on GCam 8.1 (not 8.2, like MWP's), but here's the link in case someone wants to test:
- NGCam_8.1.101-v1.2-fix
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
In MWP's GCam there are many parameters under "advanced" .
Interesting settings:
HDR+ style/model,
Ram Patcher,
MWP custom Lib HDR lib (red color),
Custom AWB,
Astro max exposure time
Will work a bit with this one, any setup recommendations are welcome.

Question White dots appearing in long exposure shots on Redmi Note 10 Pro Max (S-30, ISO-6400)

Need help to fix this issue with long exposure shots on my Redmi Note 10 Pro Max. I recently bought the phone and today when I tested long exposure shots it showed white dots in all the pics with same settings, higher the ISO, more clearly the dots were visible.
What can I do to fix this issue?
I attached 2 shots below that I took in complete dark room after cleaning my lens carefully, and for extra precaution I point the camera towards a black surface closely. These are clicked with "Wide" camera in pro mode with Shutter Speed : 30 and ISO : 6400, when I reduce the ISO, they dots fade away a bit. Ultra Wide camera produces similar results.
I even downloaded ProShot app to check if it does any good but, same dots at same place were visible.
These 2 are taken by system camera app, using above given setting (S-30, ISO-6400)

Ping for @Laptapper
Mentioned the device details in the above reply.

That's hot pixels and/or noise. That's pretty much normal on any digital camera, especially on longer exposures and higher ISO. How much they're shown in the final image depends on noise reduction used - the less (less aggressive) noise reduction, the more they will be visible.

@Case_
Firstly thanks for helping out! And got what you're saying, so just wanted to know in my case, as I am on an android device, what measures can I use to fix this? Any third party app that'll process images with more noise reduction? Or maybe any way to change default settings of system camera app? Can't always switch to post editing to fix this, as it'll be tricky too.

@Sniper God I would start by not shooting 30 second ISO 6400 shots That can be a tall order even for a DSLR, let alone for a phone camera.
GCam ports have noise profile and noise reduction adjustments if you're willing to tinker. I think I saw a hot pixel removal setting there too. Also I've used the mobile Photoshop before for noise reduction. Other than that, I only ever use Snapseed for some light photo editing, but it doesn't have noise reduction (or I don't think it does, at least).
But yeah, as silly as the advice to not shoot shots like that might seem, that's honestly one of the best advices in photography in general - if your camera has some shortcomings, either take advantage of them and use them to improve the shots (which in this case is kinda hard), or work around them so the affect your shots as little as possible.

Got it, but I've been trying to shoot with nearly same settings using different phones, and none of them reflected any issue like this. I think I should try resetting the phone or otherwise get to the service center as it is under warranty period. It even does this with inbuilt long exposure shot settings that are made to shoot stars and light painting.

It all depends on noise reduction algorithms and settings used. Many phone cameras are pretty aggressive in that regard, so things like these will rarely show up. Though it can also differ literally sensor from sensor, even on a same phone model, to a degree at least.
It is also IMO more likely to show up using settings made for astrophotography, because those are likely to have the noise reduction set pretty low to make sure it doesn't remove too many stars and smudge the sky too much.
I would seriously doubt a factory reset will change anything. But, I mean, you've got little to lose by trying that. And returning the phone is certainly your customer right if you're not satisfied with it.
BTW, out of curiosity, I just tried it on my phone. I got roughly the same amount of hot pixels as you did. Which, frankly, is impressively low for a phone camera as far as I'm concerned I'm pretty sure I'd get the same or more if I shot a 30s ISO 6400 exposure with my DSLR. I don't normally even use ISO 6400, I even try to use ISO 3200 as a last resort.
