Like a lot of people I hate having my photo taken, so selfies are a good way to control the outcome. Lots of blur and grunge and I’m happy.
The two photos below were apped to the nth degree using various photo editing apps and I thought I’d do a little run through of how I arrived at the end result of the photo with the birds. It’s not exactly like the bird pic below but it gives you an idea of the steps I took with some screen shots.
I started by taking the original photo into BlurFX and blurred everything but my eyes. Now since ios7 BlurFX keeps crashing on my ipad, but luckily I was able to save this pic before it closed down, I'm guessing they are aware of the problem and are working on a fix.
Then I took this into Scratchcam and just kept hitting the random button until I saw something I liked.
Into Snapseed to convert to Black and White.
Then into Repix, one of my favourite apps. I used Hollywood to lightly smudge my eye area and arrived at the blue/yellow slightly jaundiced look.
Then I chose Hatching to smudge around the edges of the pic and through the middle where the black area is.
Raven was the next one I chose. Just lightly moved my stylus from the corner of my eye and outwards.
So it didnt look like birds were flying right out of my eye, I used Undoer and smudged out a few birds.
I tried out all the different filters but in the end decided not to used any. Repix is a fabulous app, although some of the “brushes” are a bit sparkly for my taste.
