The first part of this short series showed how to create the base Windows Phone application and how to implement a Black & White and Sepia effect. The basic Windows Phone picture manipulation workflow was explained, and I showed how to load, resize, take, and save an image. The User Interface with the Pivot control template was introduced and some important Windows Phone development key points were also discussed. We also learned how to implement the Black & White and the Sepia effect with the reusable Tint and Contrast & Brightness modification effects.

The two new effects introduced in this article are more computationally expensive. If these would be applied to the original sized picture, the UI thread would get blocked for a few seconds. This is a No Go for a professional application and in order to pass the Marketplace validation, an app has to be responsive and needs to avoid hang-ups. This and other important requirements are defined in the official Windows Phone 7 Application Certification Requirements document.

This short series, or two articles, if you will, has come to end. Yep, it's over now—BUT Coding4Fun has released this development stage of the PicFx app for free on the Marketplace! Furthermore, I continued my work on this project and shipped it with enhanced effects, without watermark, but with extra features and a bunch of new effects, including essential ones like auto adjust, soften and many more. Check out the app called Pictures Lab aimed to be nothing less than THE image effects addition to the Windows Phone Pictures Hub.

The name videophone never became as standardized as its earlier counterpart telephone, resulting in a variety of names and terms being used worldwide, and even within the same region or country. Videophones are also known as video phones, videotelephones (or video telephones) and often by an early trademarked name Picturephone, which was the world's first commercial videophone produced in volume. The compound name videophone slowly entered into general use after 1950,[1] although video telephone likely entered the lexicon earlier after video was coined in 1935.[2]
