Call For Developers To Create New Imaging App with Nokia Imaging SDK

With the Nokia Imaging SDK 1.1, you have access to a powerful library of exciting image manipulation tools, which makes creating the next generation of imaging apps for Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8.1 devices quicker and easier. Designed from the ground up with performance and a low memory footprint in mind, the library’s functions don’t put a strain on the user’s device, which makes editing high resolution images swift and engaging. In fact, the technology behind the Nokia Imaging SDK is well proven, as Nokia uses it to create its own imaging applications, such as Creative Studio.

The Nokia Imaging SDK is a powerful library of exciting image manipulation tools for Windows Phone 8 and Windows 8. Submit a new or updated Windows Phone 8 app created using the Nokia Imaging SDK to one of these Challenges in DVLUP, our developer rewards program.
All the valid app submissions will be rewarded with DVLUP Points and Experience Points (XPs). Only the 3 best, most imaginative and stand-out app submissions will win the Imagin8 Mission prizes.
