South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung Electronics might have registered great success with its Android-based devices, but it seems that it is not forgetting the Windows Phone platform either.

In fact, the company is showing increased interest towards the operating system, through offering updated and new applications for the owners of devices powered by it.

Furthermore, as WMPoweruser notes, Samsung was also the first phone maker to have started the roll-out of Windows Phone 8 GDR2 (General Distribution Release 2) to its users.

This week, the vendor has announced the availability of three new Lens applications for the Windows Phone-based ATIV smartphones, namely Color Effect, Artistic Effect, and Fun Shot.

With Color Effect, users can come up with dramatic images by completely changing the colors of their shots.

The mobile application comes with a variety of applicable effects, including Vintage, Old photo, Grey-scale, Sepia, Retro, Sunshine, Downlight, Blue wash, Nostalgia, Yellow glow, Faded colors, Invert, Sharpen, Soft glow and Blur.

With Artistic Effect, users can easily transform their photos into works of art, courtesy of effects such as Pop art, Cartoonify, Magic pen, Oil paint, Posterise and Sketch.

As for Fun Shot, it was designed to provide users with the possibility to transform their shots into cool and funny photography.

The same as the two other Samsung Lens apps for Windows Phone 8, it achieves this by applying a series of effects, such as Bulge, Pinch, Twirl, Twist, Squeeze, Stretch, Mirror, Kaleidoscope, Tunnel and Spotlight.

All of the three applications have been released in the Windows Phone Store. Color Effect is available on this page, Artistic Effect via this link, while Fun Shot can be found on this page.
