A Powerful Photo Editing App and Effects.

Introduction

This application helps users to improve their photos and edit them with ease as it is a very light weight application. Also users can save their photos in various formats and also it has very cool effects to play around with. It also has a compass sensor which enables the users to use it in the new ultrabooks and take the use of it. Now this app also supports compass sensors in the ultrabook so you can take you of them.

Background

The main idea is that photo editing has become such a important tool nowadays as users want to edit their photos in the best possible way they can.

Using the Code

This code is written in C# and can be used in C#

The new code is there in the downloads section.

It can be written under Windows Form Application.

Points of Interest

This app will help you edit your photos very easily and it is a very light weight application. Moreover I learned how to create apps and the code of the app was not easy but patience was the key to success.

The most annoying thing in C# which I don't like is putting ";" after every line or the compiler shows a error. Moreover C# is actually pretty simple in the way which is drag and drop. Also it has a compass sensor.

History

In this article I have updated about the compass sensor in my app. And this compass sensor makes the app ultrabook compatible.
