HDR Photo Camera 4.0.1.237
Windows Phone users have at their disposal several apps to choose from and HDR Photo Camera is one of them. Featuring many automatic and manual adjustments, as well as several filters, this utility seems quite interesting at first glance.
Clean and practical front-end
The interface of this app is leaning much more towards functionality rather than good looks. The on-screen commands are neatly placed to leave plenty of space for the live view, so you can frame the subject easily.
There is a neat visual assistant here, the virtual horizon, which alongside the composition grid can be really helpful when it comes to capturing with precision portraits or landscapes.
The navigation among the filters, commands and menus is smooth, with an immediate and visible response when applying filters or making color adjustments.
Automatic and manual capture configuration
HDR Photo Camera offers several shooting modes, so besides the obvious HDR setting you can opt for single frame, bracketing or manual. The latter mode allows you to make all the adjustments yourself, so you can choose the shutter speed, ISO value and white balance setting depending on your preferences and on the conditions in which the photos are taken.
Modifying the aspect ratio from 16:9 to 4:3 and vice versa, as well as activating the 5 seconds timer needs only a single tap on the corresponding button. There is an "Application Storage" section inside this app that will enable you to manage the photo sets, fuse and save them with ease.
Easily transform the photos with effects and filters
After taking the pictures and allowing a few seconds for HDR Photo Camera to make the alignment and processing, you can start applying filters and the choice is quite varied.
Included in the package are not only HDR effects, but also other settings you might be familiar with, like "Sepia", "Posterize", "Invert" or "B&W", to name just a few of them.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The application doesn't have a top class interface, but the well organized layout and the smart placement of the commands makes up for that. The generous preview area and the fast response to every filter or color adjustment applied to the saved image are also to be appreciated. |
Function9
There are plenty of adjustments users can play with in order to personalize the photos, while the HDR engine, as well as the display are customizable, so the app seems a very good all-rounder. |
Security8
HDR Photo Camera is pretty safe to use as even if it requires the activation of location services, it has a good reason to do so, more precisely for tagging the images on the maps it also needs access to. |
Battery4
The superior image standards and the advanced processing needed to create HDR images need a lot of power, so the app is quite resource hungry and consumes a lot of power, draining the battery very fast. |
Price8
The feature set offered in the trial version is quite adequate, so users should have no problems in deciding whether it is worth paying to unlock the "Save" functionality and the high resolution processing |
Compatibility8
Well suited for Windows Phone 8 and higher devices, this utility only needs a standard screen resolution, access to the on-board camera and photos library to get the job done properly. |
