René Schulte just send us a video of what we think is a gem of a Windows Phone 7 photography app. Its no secret that Microsoft thinks that pictures play an important part on WP7 ( Picture Hub, Dedicated hardware camera button, Pocket to picture , etc all point to that ) and so I think we will see quite a few Photography WP7 apps in the Marketplace. If you love to add effects to your picture then this is one app video you wouldn’t want to miss. Pictures Lab for WP7 comes with more than 20 effects including Vintage, Tilt Shift, Auto Adjust, Sharpen, Comic, Bulge, B & W, Sepia and more and one interesting feature we noticed was that when you slide in to the effects page the app shows you live preview thumbnail of the selected picture. Once you add the desired effect your picture can be saved to the phone’s pictures hub.
UPDATE : Video Review of the Pictures Lab App
Feature list
- 21 advanced effects: Seven different vintage and hipster-like effects, Tilt Shift (miniature faking), Lomo, Soften, Auto Adjust, Sharpen, Comic, Bulge, B & W, Sepia, Saturate, Edge Detection, Night Vision, Negative and Bitmap.
- Editable effect parameters with ready-to-use default values.
- Multi-touch manipulation for Tilt Shift and other effects where multi-touch is meaningful.
- The app can save edited pictures with advanced effects applied in full resolution even on a device with 256 MB RAM. Thus making it also possible to print the image or use it as desktop wallpaper.
- Full Pictures Hub Extras integration.
- The trial version includes the complete functionality and all the effects, only the save functionality is disabled.
- Support for landscape and portrait orientation.
- Effect list with dynamic previews and caching of the larger previews.
- Flicking through the effects on the main page.
- State preservation when the app is deactivated (tombstoning).
- Localization for English and German.

The Thumba Photo Editor comes with twice the features at half the price.
In addition, the latest version of Pictures Lab has not solved all the problems I had in use.
