W.r.t. photo orientation, that is an issue/quirk of the phone. We're just
passing on the images as given to us.
W.r.t. the annotation widget.
The original image is resized to be the size of your device screen, so it
is a greatly reduced resolution. However, it should only be that size and
not have extra grey areas around it. Are you displaying the image in
another app that is perhaps assuming the image is full-size instead of
resized smaller?
Markup on top of the original full-size image would be tricky to do because
of the rescaling and device memory challenges, but if someone figured out a
reasonable way to do it, we would welcome the code contribution.

inventory and find the Image Capture - Select With Annotations widget very
useful, especially for pointing out individual trees in a group.I am finding that when I use the widget to markup the image taken, the
resulting image with annotations is shrunk inside the original image size
and the rest of the image is filled with grey. This is occurring both on
Google Nexus S phones and HTC Legend phones. Also, if I rotate the phone
while the markup application is open, the image is shrunk even more, and a
larger percentage of the final saved image is filled in with grey. Is this
a bug with ODK or the widget, or am I missing something in my phone's
settings?Additionally with the Google Nexus S (with Jelly Bean), any photos taken
in portrait mode are automatically rotated 90 degrees and saved sideways in
portrait mode. This does not occur with the HTC Legend (Android 2.2). It
is useful to take photos in portrait mode for large trees, but it would be
preferable not to have to rotate all of the images accordingly after data
collection, especially if it is only some of the phones that are doing it.
Is this a known issue with the Nexus S or Jelly Bean?Also I would like to thank the ODK Developers and Community for all of the
excellent work on this remarkable program.Cheers,
Jason
