Today's featured app is PicsArt. (Also available for Android) And it's free.
It was a little confusing at first because it is an "Instagram wanna be" app. In other words it is also a social media community, that is, if you want to join.
So you may see this screen pop up first, go ahead and go straight to the pencil (edit) tool at the center bottom to pull up the menu shown in the image on the right.
At this point, I used Superimpose to layer a more contrasty version of the original over the top of this PicsArt version using a blend mode so the trees would have more definition and have an over all lighter appearance.
(I know I did a few more edits on this but can't remember what.)
I felt like the trees were just begging for someone to walk among them, so I added an extraction of my niece in Superimpose. I merged the layers, saved to camera roll and re-imported the image as a new foreground to get the multiple effect version you see at the beginning of this post.
Have you tried out any new apps lately? I tend to stick to my tried and true if you haven't noticed. But this app has a lot of potential so I intend to investigate further.
That looks like a good app Roxi I must check it out. I'm a bit like you I do tend to stick to my usual apps but I'm always on the look out for something new. love your edits on this one ...
