Lumia Creative Studio 6.5.10.4
Thus, when it comes to dealing with photos taken with the phone camera or downloaded from the personal cloud storage space an app likeLumiaCreative Studio would be just what the doctor ordered. Benefiting from a nice set of fun effects and features, this utility aims to become the standard in photo editing on Lumia handsets.
Uncomplicated GUI tailored mainly for ease of use
The intuitive interface is a pleasure to work with and the smooth navigation through menus becomes evident from the get-go. There are no complex menus to go through, everything is up front and ready for use, so you can simply pick an image and start modifying it on the spot.
All the tools and commands are placed at hand, inside the main menu that resides in the lower side of the screen, so you can access and select any of them easily.
Quick editing and impressive effects on the output images
The editor includes some really nice tools, less common to apps of this kind and perhaps the one that stands out here is "color pop". This particular feature enables you to put color only on certain areas of the image, while the rest is kept in black and white.
Operating LumiaCreative Studio is a breeze and, if you have a steady hand, you should be able to make some really cool looking pics with blur and focus effects by using pretty much any image you want.
As appealing as everything seems inside this app, you might feel the need for more tools and customization options. This is due to the fact that you have to work with preset settings at almost every step, there is no way of resizing the photos, flipping the image or adding mirror effects, to mention just a few things on most users' whishlist.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
With its nice appearance and seamless navigation, Lumia Creative Studio gets some well deserved appreciation in this respect. The details are of the highest quality and there will be no roughness around the edges for the output pictures. |
Function7
The app scores good for originality when it comes to the offered tools, as the effects users can put to good use are really appealing. Applying the changes to the loaded image takes only a few moments, but it would be nice to have more control over the process and a few extra features to play with. |
Security9
Unlike many apps in the Store, this one refuses to display advertisements or nag the user with all sorts of prompts for reviews or ratings. It leaves the location services alone, but it will access the owner identity information. |
Battery4
The fast processing and impressive looks of the app and the resulting pictures come at a price and Lumia Creative Studio takes its toll on battery. The power consumption is quite high and if the user gets absorbed into playing with it for a couple of hours, the energy might drain completely. |
Price9
There are few similar apps that offer this kind of high-end results and a good range of tools and effects with no cost. The absence of ads and other nags is also to be appreciated and it contributes to making this utility a really good deal to come by. |
Compatibility6
Surprisingly enough, there are very few requirements for this tool to work very well on the compatible handsets, which are Windows Phone 8 and higher. Unfortunately, it is currently available only for Nokia Lumia devices. |
