Introducing Lumia Creative Studio Beta, with support for editing Living Images

Please note that Lumia Creative Studio Beta is currently downloadable from Windows Phone 8.1 Store only and therefore not available to Windows Insiders running Windows 10 on their mobile.

 Update 2015-09-03 - Lumia Creative Studio Beta is now available also for Windows Insiders with the preview of Windows 10 Mobile.

Today we have released a new beta version of our popular image editing application Lumia Creative Studio, to gather consumer feedback that will help us fine-tune the app before its final release. 

We welcome all Lumia users to join in testing this beta release of Lumia Creative Studio. Please download the app from Store and try it out. For example, apply one of the filters to give your photos a professional finish or blur the background to add sense of depth. You can also choose from a number of enhancements including brightness, vibrance and clarity, or simply crop and rotate.  Key new feature in this release is the added support for editing Living Images captured with Lumia Camera. 

If you find any issues with the app, we want to hear from you! Post to our feedback forum a description and steps to reproduce the issue, or vote/comment on an existing thread if someone has already reported the issue. 
We will be monitoring the forum and may have follow-up questions about the issues you report.
