Android Notes
File formats. Android handles JPG and PNG from the gallery without extra settings.
Screen orientation. Landscape is easier — more room for the canvas. Rotate the phone and unlock rotation in settings.
Scaling in a cell. Press and hold the photo in a cell, then drag and pinch until cropping looks right.
