Fresh Paint updated with front-facing camera support and more.

Our beloved smartphones help us be more productive on the go; play funny and complex games on the go; Smartphones also let us develop and express our creativity using powerful and yet simple apps whenever an idea germinates no matter our location. Fresh paint is one of these apps that let us unleash our creativity.

Fresh Paint is an app developed by Microsoft and one of its main features is the ability to turn photos into beautiful paintings. Those with artistic genes will find in Fresh Paint a fun and easy way to lay out their creations using their Windows Phone. Today's update brings some new features that should inspire amateurs:

• New Pencil
• "Inspire me" feature helps you to search Bing for images to incorporate into your masterpiece.
• OneDrive (formerly SkyDrive) improvements enable you to start painting on your phone and pick up where you left off on your PC.
• Front-facing camera support.
• Improved camera lenses.
• Big fixes.

Download fresh Paint free in the Windows Phone store.

#2InstaWithLove, Fresh Paint, Facebook Beta and 6tag updated.

A few updates to some of my favorite apps have showed up on my Windows Phone today. The first is #2InstaWithLove, an app developed by Nokia to help bring Instagram to Windows Phone. Even though Nokia recently announced that Instagram is coming to Windows Phone, they are still publishing updates to #2InstaWithLove. Nokia did not publish the change log. The update is available free for download on the Windows Phone Store.

I had completely forgotten about #2InstaWithLove until today. The reason is the arrival of 6tag, an excellent Instagram client for Windows Phone. Did I say how good it is? So good that official client apps on other platforms look petty. Today 6tag also got updated with a check box in the settings that lets you hide ads in your timeline. Download 6tag here.

I'm very bad at drawing. You just cannot imagine how bad. Fresh Paint is Microsoft's app which is fun and easy app for you to turn pictures into artwork on the go. Fresh Paint was updated with the following changes:

- New pencil
- “Inspire Me” feature helps you to search Bing for images to incorporate into your masterpiece
- SkyDrive improvements enable you to start painting on your phone and pick up where you left off on your PC
- Front-facing camera support
- Improved camera lenses
- Bug fixes

The last app on my list is Facebook Beta. The latest update does not include new features, but includes performance enhancement and bug fixes. Additional languages has also been added. Facebook Beta can be downloaded in the Windows Phone Store.

Fresh Paint brightens 512MB Windows Phone devices.

If you happen to own a Windows Phone device sporting just 512MB of memory, you certainly must have felt the frustration of not being able to download and install a cool app from the Store because it was designed for premium devices. Fortunately we are seeing more and more apps being designed for both high-end and budget devices and it is within this logic that Microsoft is showing the way by releasing a compatible version of Fresh Paint for devices with 512MB memory so they can unleash their artistic creativity. 

Owners of devices like the HTC 8S and the Lumia 520 can download Fresh Paint from the Windows Phone Store for free. These users will be able  to turn their photos into beautiful art work to share with their friends.

Features of Fresh Paint:

- Realistic oil paint and brushes
- Transform photos into paintings with artistic camera lenses 
- Easy sharing with a tap, text message, email or SkyDrive
