if you on vzw is wasnt included [i think it wasnt on att as well] you have a few choices:

1- dl the photo editor apk from here

or

2- on vzw version when on photo take out pen hold down s-pen button on photo it will take a screen shot and a palate

3- download samsung app store Samsung Apps [you can dl this even on vzw but the photo editor doesnt show up]

I went to the Play store on my desktop and installed Samsung app store on my GN2 from there.

This by far has to be one of the better features of the phone. Admittedly they could have shortened the steps like ..... I don't know .... a single click but it's still great that it works properly

Stupid question, but is the photo editor you are talking about different from one in the Play store?

The hard part about app stores outside of the Play store is you get cross update conflicts and issues. I used to get the free app a day on amazon's store but it would show up on my play store list and wouldn't update there and vice versa so it was just easier to stick with the play store, for me anyways.

It's not the same application. I downloaded that one too, but it doesn't pop up when trying the "Advanced Edit". Use the dropbox link above. That works.

Thanks. Worked like a charm.

I'm guessing rooting is required to have this (the dropbox apk) take over as the default photo editor when holding S=Pen button and holding touch on screen? Cause I'm not rooted, installed the Photo Editor, and while it opens up and allows me to do work in it when I'm already in there, it does not open automatically when screen capping with S-Pen.

It wouldn't take over. The way you are doing screen shots is fine. Photo editor is so you can draw on pictures you took (or edit them) without any type of screen shot. To do this choose an image in your gallery, hit menu, hit advanced edit and you will have an option to click photo editor and that will bring up that picture in photo editor.

Oh man, my apologies! I didn't even scroll through to the bottom to SEE Advanced Edit on the menu! >_<
