Curious about effects on battery life. from the "Tips and Tricks" at Nokia Beta Labs:

Remember, if you're only sharing your image used, take note of how you managed to achieve the effect (sliders, colors)! Example:
"Slider: 3/4 - Colors: Pink" - Not applicable if you're actually taking a photo of your WP with the Glance Screen active as we'll be able to see the end result.
I took this photo at the Nine Inch Nails concert on Oct 4, 2013 in Toronto using my Lumia 1020. I zoomed and cropped to create this close-up. The picture of my glance screen was taken with another Lumia 1020 :)
