Save and upload an image that is bigger than the screen

Audio and Graphics
#1

When saving a photo in Corona SDK. Regardless of the method used it seems no to be possible to capture any offscreen contents. For instance a 500x500 image displayed on a 320x480 device would be cropped at 320x480 when saved with display.save()

Is there a workaround for this? Is it possible to.

  1. Save offscreen content?
  2. Save or use an image directly from the device photo library?

Thanks for your help.

Hi @igenapps,

Some improvements to the content save/capture methods are coming in Graphics 2.0. We don’t have specific details on this yet, but please watch the blog and forums for announcements.

Sincerely,

I’m scaling down my image before capturing and saving, then remove it, it happens so fast you don’t notice anything.  (at least on the devices I have tested).

@jonjonsson. This would reduce the image quality at a level I cannot accept in my case. I need a resolution similar to the original photo library images.

Thanks for the idea anyway.

Has there been any followup to this? I am still having the same problem.
