Photo Light 3.2.0.0

An easy to use solution for capturing snapshots, editing and sharing pictures on the go
When it comes to taking photos using a mobile device powered by Windows Phone and customizing the images on the spot, there are several applications that can be put to good use.

Photo Light is one of the utilities that is able to take care of several tasks of this kind and it offers a good deal of features wrapped in an easy to use package.

Well-thought-out layout bent on functionality

The looks of this application are pretty neat, as there are some nicely designed graphics inside, with transparent controls for minimizing the impact on the workspace that is, in turn, quite generous and adaptable.

The preview area that is also the work space where you can view how each modification is applied to the selected images provides some basic information about the resolution of the loaded photo.

Zooming and panning is done with intuitive touch gestures, while the access to all the functions and command is effortless, thanks to the smart arrangement of the tools in the main menu and inside the toolbar that appears on the right side of the screen.

Of great help for many can be the special setting that is meant to place the above-mentioned toolbar more conveniently for the left-handed users.

Image capture, EXIF data and editing in one place

Photo Light is ready to serve as a means of taking snapshots and you can edit the pics as soon as they are acquired from the front-facing or rear camera. The toolset for carrying out the editing tasks is complete with picture rotation, redimensioning and cropping functions, but also with a lot more.

In case you want to turn the loaded photo to grayscale, a single tap on the dedicated button from the toolbar is needed, while the brightness and contrast adjustments can be made using the slider controls that appear when any of these parameters are selected.

EXIF data viewer and HDR photo capture

If you want to give a more special appearance to the images queued for editing, there are a few filters kept inside the menu hosted at the bottom of the screen, so you can pick any of them to see who they appear on the canvas.

In case you are looking to create a HDR photo, Photo Light has a particular module tailored just for this and with one pres son the physical camera shutter button the app will capture the images and process them on the spot.

Should you need to revert some changes you can use the "Undo" button, while the EXIF feature presents you with many useful details about any selected image. Also, the image sharing options will make it possible for you to easily post the pictures on Facebook or Twitter.
