Description

This sample shows some common imaging scenarios for Windows Runtime apps including image properties and editing and saving images. This sample focuses on the Windows.Storage and Windows.Graphics.Imaging namespaces.

Note  This sample was created using one of the universal app templates available in Visual Studio. It shows how its solution is structured so it can run on both Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1. For more info about how to build apps that target Windows and Windows Phone with Visual Studio, see Build apps that target Windows and Windows Phone 8.1 by using Visual Studio.

Note  In Scenario 1, different image file formats provide differing levels of support for properties and editing. For best results, select a JPEG or Tagged Image File Format (TIFF) file, such as a digital photo.

To obtain an evaluation copy of Windows 8.1, go to Windows 8.1.

To obtain an evaluation copy of Microsoft Visual Studio 2013 Update 2, go to Microsoft Visual Studio 2013.

Note  For Windows 8 app samples, download the Windows 8 app samples pack. The samples in the Windows 8 app samples pack will build and run only on Microsoft Visual Studio 2012.
