Fresh Paint for Windows Phone 8 now allows desktop syncing

If you’ve been using the Windows Phone 8 version of Fresh Paint, then in all likelihood you’ve wanted to see the images that you create on your desktop and finish off your masterpiece on a much larger screen. Unfortunately in version one that wasn’t possible, but now it is, cross-syncing all updates to a painting with the power of SkyDrive, meaning you’ll never miss a stroke no matter what platform you’re using.

Microsoft hasn’t just added syncing though, bringing a lot of new Windows Phone 8 features such as front-facing camera support, pencil format and an “Inspire Me” tool which searches for images on Bing that you can then use for inspiration.

The update is available in the Windows Phone Store now.
