Creative Studio (Version 4.1.2.4)
Nokia
Free
Nowadays, a camera is an integral part of the smartphone experience and as an avid photography enthusiast, camera apps were one of the first things I searched for in the marketplace. Since Nokia is pushing their camera performance they of course have a simple photo editing app in Creative Studio.
Creative Studio offers your basic adjustments including color balance, brightness, clarity, and vibrance as well crop, rotate, and red eye tools. When you first load your photo you also have the option of selecting pre-made photo filters. The app offers easy to use controls and with the basic adjustments available you can easily process your photos to give it that extra impact.
At this time, I've used a few other popular photo apps such as Fhotoroom and Lomogram and the one thing that stands out the most about Creative Studio is that it preserves the quality of the original photo well. Some of the other apps have a tendency to degrade the quality once you've applied your adjustments and have saved the photo or uploaded it to your social network of choice.
Creative Studio offers only a few basic adjustments but it's more than enough in making your photo look great. For the more creative, the lack of filters and more advanced adjustments may turn away some users. Below are some samples of my original photos followed by a quick process through Creative Studio.

As you can see, the original photos aren't half bad but Creative Studio gives you the ability to give your photos a little bit of extra flavor. Currently, Creative Studio is the main post-processing app I use because I found it to preserve the original photo quality the best. Sure, there are a slew of photo apps available in the marketplace but the simple, no-nonsense editing possible with Creative Studio makes this app a standard one to have, even if it's only for a backup to your other photo apps.
Pros : Easy to use interface, simple, preserves original photo quality
Cons : Adjustments are limited
