The highly popular social photo editing app Hipstamatic Oggl is now available for download for the owners of Windows Phone 8 devices.

The application, designed to provide users with the possibility to transform photos into works of art, also offers sharing capabilities, with support for Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Hipstamatic’s own online gallery.

The application has landed in the Windows Phone Store with support for select WP8-powered smartphones, and is also available as an exclusive pro flavor on the Nokia Lumia 1020 that went up for sale at AT&T yesterday.

“Imaging editing apps are a dime a dozen these days. But what really sets Hipstamatic Oggl apart is both its built-in social features and extensive collection of creative effects,” Microsoft’s Michael Stroh notes in a blog post.

“The filters come in two categories: lenses and films, which you can apply to your raw shots in different combinations to create images that are moody, whimsical, retro—pretty much whatever you like.”

Those who will choose to purchase the new Nokia Lumia 1020 smartphone will enjoy free access to the pro version of the application, which was designed in collaboration with Nokia.

The Hipstamatic Oggl PRO software flavor comes with all the features of the standard application, but also adds some new capabilities:

- manual control of things like exposure, white balance, ISO and shutter speed - the ability to reframe shots using the 1020’s lossless zoom feature - an auto-leveling feature for orienting shots

Hipstamatic Oggl has been released on Windows Phone 8 with support for all devices with 1GB of RAM packed inside, and features 5 preset lenses and films.

The application also arrives with a limited-time offer for users who will create a Hipstamatic Oggl account by August 9, namely 60 days complimentary access to the entire library of Hipstamatic filters and effects.

“Once that expires, access will cost $2.99 for a three-month subscription and $9.99 for an annual subscription. So grab it now and start showing the world what you can do,” said blog post continues.

The standard Hipstamatic Oggl application is available on this page in the Windows Phone Store, while the exclusive pro version for Lumia 1020 can be found via this link.
