Picture Lab 1.0.0.3
In case you want to turn your Windows Phone handset into a small-scale editing studio, you have plenty of utilities at your disposal to opt for and one of the apps you can go for is Picture Lab.
Practical front-end with less appeal
As soon as you install and start the app you will be greeted by a simple GUI, with all the commands in plain sight, so you can access them with no efforts.
There is a lot of space reserved for the image preview, so you will be able to look closely at all the changes you make during the process. Also, browsing the relatively long list of filters is effortless and glitch-free.
The major nuisance you will have to deal with while working with the images is the presence of some pushy adverts that come in the form of some animated banners and also as full screen ads. There are also some occasional reminders that prompt you to rate and review Picture Lab.
Load saved pics or capture new ones to edit
This utility is made specifically for taking photos on the spot and then applying the desired enhancements and it can use the rear and the front-facing camera on your phone.
In case you want to tinker with some of the pics that are already stored locally inside your photo folders, the application is also ready to help and as soon as the processing is complete you can add the new images to your collection with one tap.
Lots of filters and adjustments at your fingertips
Picture Lab offers a good deal of effects and once you pick a picture to work on, it will appear inside the "Filters" area as the thumbnail preview of each of the available enhancements. This way you can see at a smaller scale how the final image will actually look like.
Some special effects and enhancements are also included, each in their own separate module, while for the image rotation, flipping or mirroring tasks you have at your disposal some dedicated filters.
The great thing about this app is that it enables you to add as many effects and modifications as you want onto each individual pic loaded for processing.
In case you want to revert the changes made to the current project, the "Undo filter" function is waiting to be put to good use from the main menu hosted at the bottom of the screen.

Bottom Line
Design / UI7
The aspect of this application is decent and simple, but the advertisements and prompts displayed inside the GUI take away some of the good feel. |
Function7
There is a decent number of effects included in the package but users cannot make fine adjustments to any of them and the sharing options are missing. |
Security7
This app needs to access some sensitive areas of the system like the phone dialer or the owner and phone identities for no good reason. |
Battery6
The amount of power needed by Picture Lab to run well is considerable, so the battery usage remains at high levels. |
Price9
All the effects and features provided by this application are free to enjoy by any user, but there are some pesky ads inside the GUI as well. |
Compatibility9
The utility is meant to function on Windows Phone handsets powered by version 8 or higher of the OS. |
