Fhotoroom Hits Windows 8 store – A Unique Photo Editing App

First, they conquered Windows Phone community, and now they are on the mission to conquer Windows 8 users. Yes, the instagram like application for WP community has shown its rear in Windows 8 community as well. Fhotoroom was probably the only photo editing tool that offered a plethora of unique styles, brushes, filters and much more in a single suite.

They say a picture is a worth thousand words, and now you’ve every reason to make that picture worth thousands of words. Previously, we called it an instagram like app, but have we gone mad to give them such a label. Fhotoroom is definitely something more than those instagram like applications.

Fhotoroom for Windows 8 comes with 76+ image editing, frames and style option. You need not have to be a geek to understand the photo editing process. It usually takes care of complex part giving you the full freedom over what you want to convert your photo into. The pro version unleashes more filters and allows you to edit photos larger than 1MP. This may be a setback for some as the free version allows only images that are smaller than 1MP. However, make no mistake. The free version if good enough to do most of the basic and advanced level filtering. The red eye removal and other filters seem to be a part of the pro version.
