Create HDR images using the new 4Blend app!


4Blend is a new photography app arrived on Windows Phone store recently.The app is designed to create HDR images and uses Nokia Imaging SDK along with multi-layer HDR algorithm. The innovative multi layer HDR algorithm in the app enables users to capture better photos in even low light conditions.


The app takes three images of the same scene at different exposure levels and combines them into a image 
having greater dynamic range.Though the feature is good,it needs the phone to be kept still.The app also has voice command settings that enables to take pictures by holding the phone steady without pressing capture button. 4Blend has various effect filters to make your image more better. It also has controls similar to Nokia Camera including gamma levels,ISO,exposure,focus,etc


Key Features:-
  • Apply selection of filters to create your own unique effects ·
  • Unfiltered HDR for better photos in difficult lighting conditions · 
  • Voice activation for tripod use ·
  •  Automatic or fully customizable manual camera settings 
We tested the app on our Lumia 620 and found some bugs. These aren't much annoying, but the app definitely needs to improve in terms of stability. We felt that the app is not responsive at certain instants and we hope that it will improve in upcoming updates. There's an inbuilt tutorial, but it's not the best available if you compare with tutorials present in Nokia's photographic apps.

The app is available at Windows Phone Store free and supports non pure view devices. Grab the app(6MB) from the store here or scan the QR code present below.
