Lomogram

The social network of photography Instagram continues to be one of the most famous applications of the moment. And it is that the love for photography seems to unite. However, not all users can still access this community, which, unlike its number of users, does not decide to expand to other platforms Many have been rumors about the arrival of Instagram to Windows Phone 7 , but while they are fulfilled, we can make use of other tools alternatives such as Lomogram , which we will discuss below.

This is an application created for the editing of images and photographs Basically what should be expected from an alternative to Instagram However, Lomogram surprises with its wide variety of possibilities and for its design Both issues seem well worked out and allow for a most comfortable user experience , intuitive and pleasant The social aspect of Intagram is missing , although it is compensated by the possibilities at the time of share of Lomogram

As soon as we start the application we find two options. Photo Library takes us to the gallery of our terminal to choose a image already stored and go on to edit itHowever, if what we want is touch up that very moment, we can select the Camera button to take a screenshot and apply the changes we want. After this, the fun part arrives in either of the two paths previously chosen: the retouch A step that in Lomogram is made especially comfortable thanks to keeping all the options on the same screen, which are collected in the bar lower

This application surprises with the large selection of filters, effects and frames it has. But the best thing is that they can all be combined to find a unique and surprising result. For this we have four buttons at the bottom of the screen. The first shows us a series of formats to crop the image Thus, we can change theframing and transform the photo into a 16:9, square, 4:3 widescreen and a long etcetera, in addition to being able to rotate the image

The second button, Fx, stores the characteristic filters Thus, when clicking on it, a second bar of tools with up to 33 different filters is displayed , most of them with a retro effect, although with a great variety. After this, it's the turn of the light effects A function that is not available on Instagram , and which lets you apply effects to make your photo more special so that it looks overexposed , with lights in one corner and shadows in another”¦ up to 57 effects And finally, all that remains is to frame it in one of the 31 frames that are offered.

It doesn't have to be the final step though.And the last key point of Lomogram is being able to publish the snapshot on the social networks Facebook , Twitter, Flickr, Tumblr and Vk But best of all, without a doubt, is that you can download completely free for handsets with Windows Phone 7 Available at the Windows Phone Store
