@JimForADay over at iPA, you may recall, sent me a photo to play with. This post is a record of some of the stages I went through and my two favourite images after all the play/sketching/experimenting...what DOES one call the process?
The last first...these are the two images that I was most happy with;
I put Jim's iPhone photograph, (which is the first image in the 2nd and 3rd strips.) through Tiny Planet. Next was Stripecam, it's an app that I'm not 100% sure about, but as a tool simplify and focus on colour, it's excellent. Fracture came next. Water my Photo was the last one in this sequence and you all know how addicted to that I was for a while...but it did come after Kaleidoscope X. The 'X' is important, I don't like the app without the X...Kooleido is another kaleidoscope app that I love. Most of the others that I've tried have been a big disapointment. The two mentioned allow a good choice of variables and let you use photographs from your phone photo album.
I've been exploring Photo Studio again recently. Until now I've not used it very much, not sure why. Perhaps because of the amount of competition it has...yeah, I'm a bit of an app addict ;( This sequence is mix of Photo Studio filters and, naturally, Water my Photo again.
The Photo Studio filtering continues, but this time I start to layer the results using HDR Fix. I like using this for blending two images together - partly because it's quick and easy and partly because it allows for plenty of adjustment. Then I went to Juxtaposer to combine elements togther collage style. Juxtaposer was the best app for this for quite some time, now we have Superimpose too which has more scope but the UI isn't as intuitive.
How about that? I really did get back and edit this...but I did it in Posterous, so apologies for any typos, I'm lost without a spellchecker these days...
A blurry shot of my mouth taken with the wee macro lens becomes utterly different with the help of multiple apps...there's a before and after group at iPhoneArt.com and I thought folks 'here' may find it interesting too...
