I am using Camera in my app to take pictures of ID cards, I have a rectangular overlay to which image will be cropped. issue is that the image quality is reduced once the image is captured.
I am unable to figure out where exactly it is happening. In cutImage method, I am cutting the image but I don't think I am doing anything to the resolution of the image there.
Can any one suggest where the quality might be going down.
takePicture is called when the user clicks to take the picture. Once the picture is taken there is a button 'use picture' that is when usePicture is called.
cutImage method is used to crop the image based on the preview.
any suggestions on how to stop the resolution from going down will be very very helpful
