Does anyone know how to do this?

I swear I saw a sample app here that either used the camera or something and then showed the image as a thumbnail on the screen but I cannot find it. I’m trying to figure out how to display an image on the screen but smaller as a thumbnail to the size I want it. Does anyone know how to do this? I’ll still search more and post it if I find it.

Thanks!

You used to be able to use the camera as an input to a fill on iOS ONLY.

There is also a plugin for Android:

One limitation is that the object it draws onto is a native object, so it can’t be placed inside a group and will always be rendered “above” the rest of the app’s content (like a text input box would).
