- 5. What is the Nokia Imaging SDK? • Includes more than 50 ready to use image processing filters and effects, with various adjustment parameters • Supports creation of totally custom filters • Accessible from managed and native code • Supports various source types: bitmaps, streams, files and camera viewfinder • Partial JPEG decoding - using RAJPEG technology, access image data without decoding a whole JPEG image for a fast previews, application of effects, rotation, and cropping of high resolution images

- 16. Library contains three architectural building blocks: • Image sources (such as bitmaps, streams, files) • Effects (built-in or custom) • Renderers (outputs bitmaps or files) Combining these building blocks, developer creates rendering pipeline Once pipeline is created, it is possible to change filter parameters, or their sequence.

- 17. General Overview of Required Steps • Step 1: Include Nokia Imaging SDK Libraries into your project • Step 2: Prepare source image: uncompressed image as WriteableBitmap, AudioVideoCaptureDevice or compressed image as IBuffer, StorageFile • Step 3: Create image source as instance of IImageSource • Step 4: Instantiate and configure one or more effects, chained together • Step 5: Create renderer with associated effect chain and target output • Step 6: Use asynchronous methods RenderAsync in order to generate output • Remember: official documentation is part of the Lumia Developer Library http://developer.nokia.com/resources/library/Lumia/nokia-imaging-sdk.html
- 18. Nokia Imaging SDK Libraries • Installable via NuGet Package Manager • Make sure that in the Project’s Configuration Manager, there will remain only X86 and ARM platforms. “Any CPU” and “x64” platforms should be removed • Remember: Nokia Imaging SDK library is going to be included into your final XAP file
