APPstract RESULT: APPstract #29 Theme: Experimentation

Here’s a couple from Trigraphy which I find very difficult to use. Both are blended versions of two Trigraphy images.

Here’s a version from Painterly. I absolutely love this app although I seldom use it. I feel that I have only scratched the surface with it. Again, I wish the resolution was higher. It enables you to load an image, position it wherever you like and then paint in bits of it onto your canvas using different bushes and rendering types. I applied Coherence from IC at the end because it made it more connected.

I love how adventurous you are, Carmel -every image seems to come up with something new!
i lovelovelove those funky black squiggles!

btw in case anyone doesn’t already know, rmK pro is a really good single fx app for removing ‘all the black’ or ‘all the white’ from an image. I use it a lot to isolate funky black squiggles

Edit: does anyone know of an app that works in the same way but with RGB values?

I think you can do it in iColorama - Adjust>RGB Curves or HSL Curves.

Not sure if we are supposed to insert thumbnail or full image?

Full image, of course — like every other image in this thread How else are we going to take in the full beauty and complexity of your creation?

 

[zenjenny]

I'm not sure if this is what you want, but some apps that offer layers and masking -- like Leonardo and SuperimposeX -- allow you to mask by selecting a color range. In practice, you tap on a color area of an image, and the app masks out all the similarly-colored pixels. Usually there's a slider to control how strictly or loosely the app interprets "similar." The masked areas are then transparent.

I think you can do it in iColorama - Adjust>RGB Curves or HSL Curves.

trouble with having seven million apps but only using three

Created in LightWeaver using an image generated in FotoDa. The background colour is chosen in LightWeaver.

oh, this is lovely, Ann!

Very nice! Actually it’s one of my favourites for painterly images. My only beef is that the resolution is not the best but I resize it as image sharpness is not an issue.

I’ll combine it with an outline from iColorama as I’ve done here:

I particularly like the blue/tree image and this last PaintCan one

I love this one.

Wow, very Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec!

Paris demi-monde with horns!

 

[RoseCat]

Btw this one started as an edit of a portrait (turn it sideways)

Wow!!!!

We always do full image as it’s much easier to see all the details.

These are fab! Yes, I got this app but could never get anything I liked.

Same here. I have a hard time getting anything useful from Trigraphy and LightWeaver, but you've got good results from both of them in this thread.

Thanks and correct on both counts, Jen.

I love this one.

Thanks, David. Am I right in thinking that you are a bit of a Gloomlogue fan? I seem to remember you using it in a couple of excellent creations.

Thanks, folks. Glad I’m not the only one who struggles with both of these apps. I feel like Trigraphy should have lots of potential but maybe It’s results are too extreme.

As Ted says, there are many apps that do color range masking. Here’s my tutorial on Effects>Range in iColorama.

iPhoneography Apps Bonus – iColorama Range option

There was a recent question on the iColorama Facebook page about the purpose of the Range command. I decided to put together a quick blog entry to help explain. There is a silent video embedded her…

iC Painter
An iColorama offshoot. You can set things like brush size and style, detail, steps, and color palette, and then the app paints your photo. You can stop the painting mid-process for a rougher look and also mask areas.

My most recent tutorial last June was on iC Painter.

iPhoneography Apps – iC Painter: Automagic Painting

I’ve received a lot of requests to cover the iColorama sister apps that break out the painting capabilities of that most flexible of art apps. MetaBrush has layers and brushwork is done manually, w…

The Eyes Have It

This started with a self-portrait, taken through iC Painter for a very few strokes, very rough. I took that through MetaBrush, using the Swirl Tool. In iColorama I Blended the two and added the eyes back. Finally I sent the whole thing through Jixipix’s Impresso Pro.

Thanks, David. Am I right in thinking that you are a bit of a Gloomlogue fan? I seem to remember you using it in a couple of excellent creations.

Yes, I often use Gloomlogue to enhance color. What I especially like about your abstract is the feeling of depth it has, like you layered in an acrylic block.

This is wonderful Jerry. Absolutely like an amazing oil painting.

YES! That’s it exactly - like a beautiful acrylic block.
