Stuart is a contrivedly acronymed Windows 10 photo editing app which I wrote during a recent Win2D app building exercise. I’m posting it here because I’m pleased with how it turned out. XAML + Win2D makes it really easy to do this sort of thing!

Where to get it

• Download from the Store


• Or clone the source from github

Features

• Use a rich set of image effects to tweak your photos


• Apply effects to the whole image or just selected parts of it


• Feather selected regions for smooth transitions


• Runs on Windows 10 PCs and phones

Screenshots

Starting with this photo from a dawn hike on Mount Rainier:

Stuart can make the colors more intense:

Or brighten the foreground rocks and trees without changing the sky:

Or we can go retro:

Or completely stylized:
