PicMagic 2.0.0.0
Among the numerous applications for Windows Phone that can help in personalizing images, a more specialized tool tailored to take care of a single task is PicMagic. It's main purpose is to help you choose and apply the best filters for your pictures.
Tidy appearance, with a minimalist design
The looks of this utility are pretty nice, with decent graphics and all the functions kept at hand, so as to have them easy to reach and put to good use.
Moving through the few sections of the utility and switching the filters is done smoothly and without any delays or other similar flaws.
The preview area where you can see how the selected filters look like onto the loaded pic could have been a bit more generous, but it will have to do.
Also, the medium-size thumbnails that showcase the effects in the lower side of the screen use a default image and not the one you have queued for processing.
Pick album pics or take new ones to edit
PicMagic is able to use any of the images you keep inside your dedicated folders onto your local storage and you can also use it to acquire new snapshots from the phone's built-in camera. An advantage is that you will be able to use both the front-facing and the rear camera.
You can use high-quality photos for the customization job because the utility can handle them very well, without any extra loading or processing time.
Apply effects and save the new images
The application offers you a relatively small assortment of graphical filters for you to go through and use onto the loaded pictures. Nonetheless, many of the effects are quite original and seldom if at all seen in other similar apps.
The modifications are applied pretty quickly, without annoying delays, as all the filters, regardless of their complexity, will appear promptly inside the preview area so you can check them out.
If you are satisfied with the new look of the modified photo, tap the "Save" button and have it sent automatically inside the "Saved Pictures" folder onto the local storage of your phone.

Bottom Line
Design / UI8
The appearance is good, with decent graphics and a well thought layout, but it could use a larger workspace and a filter preview with the selected pic. |
Function7
The filters included in the package are pretty col, but too few and there are no customizations and the sharing options are also missing. |
Security10
PicMagic can be safely installed and used as it doesn't come anywhere close any sensitive areas of the system. |
Battery6
The amount of power needed by this application to run well is considerable, so the battery usage remains at high levels. |
Price10
Since the utility offers everything it has without asking for anything in return, it has an excellent value. |
Compatibility10
The vast majority of Windows Phone users can take this app for a test drive, as long as the operating system installed onto their handsets is at least Windows Phone 7.5. |
