Nokia today made a new software developer kit available to app writers that will allow them to add more Lumia imaging tools to their own applications.
Nokia Imaging SDK 1.1 adds several key functions, such as performance optimizations that allow advanced features, such as Lens Blur, to run on low-end Lumia devices like the Lumia 520. This means app writers can target a broader range of devices with their app and won’t be limited to high-end hardware.
The SDK also gives developers more tools to dip into editing functions, such as reframing images and crop/zoom. Last, the SDK adds support for Windows 8.1 desktop and RT.
Nokia Imaging SDK 1.1 is free to download from Nokia’s developer portal.
