What Can You Do with the Gallery App
Editing pictures is essential in many situations. Snap the screen, crop the images, highlight the key points with red circles, or mosaic private info, and share the picture via network.
It requires a highly integrated system to help you finish the whole process promptly, or else you have to open apps one by one to complete the steps.
Fortunately, we’ve taken this user’s need into consideration and developed a picture-editing software for BOOX E Ink tablets. And it’s Gallery.
After snapping the screen, a thumbnail of the screenshot will display in the corner. Tap it, then it will lead you right away into the Gallery app, and you can start editing.
You can use the following tools to edit pictures.
Graffiti
You can write on the pictures using different colors and shades of grey, ball pen, three shapes, and four kinds of line with or without arrows. You can also adjust the stroke and line width.
Text Box
Besides scribbling on the pics, you can choose a font size and typeface to type on the pictures and make your edits neat and clean. Like graffiti, you can also change the font colors and indention.
Cropping
Crop pictures at a fixed, commonly-seen ratio, such as 16:9 and 4:3, or customize the cutting to maintain the picture’s critical part. You can also rotate and flip it to create a favorable result.
Mosaic
Mosaic is the best way to protect the confidential info while reserving the pic layout. You can adjust the mosaic stroke width.
Eraser
Pick an eraser to wipe out the strokes you don’t want. You can also undo and redo by tapping the arrows in the upper right corner.
Sharing
After finishing your light editing, you can share the work with a QR code or send it as an attachment via email.
In addition to entering the Gallery through screenshots, you can open the Gallery app in the Applications panel and import the pictures manually.
Why Use the Gallery App
Gallery app is dedicated to providing light picture-editing functions on E Ink tablets, so every feature is optimized for E Ink displays.
Compared to the built-in, versatile Notes app, Gallery is more handy and convenient in cropping pictures and scribbling on them with shapes and arrows. Also, you don’t need to import photos to a note.
Compared to the NeoReader, Gallery offers more tools and practical features in photo editing.
However, the default program for pictures remains NeoReader. If you want to open an image in a storage folder with Gallery, you need to long-press it to call out the menu, tap “Open With”, and choose Gallery.
