The document discusses the Nokia Imaging SDK and how to use it to build imaging applications for Windows Phone. It provides an overview of the SDK's capabilities like filters, effects, image processing and manipulation. It also outlines the two approaches for taking photos - via the Camera Capture Task API or Photo Capture Device API. Finally, it briefly demonstrates how to add the SDK libraries to a project and lists contact details for the author.

Agenda

6. What Is Nokia Imaging SDK?
• Ready-made tools to build *superb* imaging applications
• Features include: decoding and encoding JPEG images, applying filters and effects, blending, cropping, rotating and
resizing, with customization and unlimited undo
• More than 50+ pre-made filters and effects

7. • Two ways to take photos on Windows Phone
• Camera Capture Task API
• Very little work
• Proven and consistent UX
• Memory allocated for the task does not count toward total app memory use, which helps to minimize your app’s
memory use
• Very high quality PureView processed photos in optimal 5 megapixel size (on devices with high resolution camera
sensor)
• Photo Capture Device API
• Have full control
• Have capability to adjust camera parameters as you wish
• Avoid the original captured photos, or photos captured only for temporary use, from being saved to the camera
roll
• Capture photos directly within your application UI instead of opening a new view for capturing a photo
• Have access to the high resolution “raw” image (on devices with high resolution camera sensor)

9. • 100% backward compatible
• New effects:
• HDR: Control Strength, Gamma, Saturation to ‘enhance’ the image
• Lens Blur: Like ‘bokeh’, blurs image in particular way defined by user
• Interactive Foreground Segmenter: Apply effects as per the annotations on the image
• Support for Windows 8.1
And in v1.1
