Entirely Enlight

I still use Enlight. Only yesterday I was messing about putting a rainbow in a photo using Enlight. This is a little model caravan that Rog bought for me from Norfolk. He’s put little lights inside. Photographed just now and apped as instructed.
And that one would be????Only need one, sweetie
Pixlr?And that one would be????
Just for a moment, as I scrolled through, this looked to me like the head, shoulders and part of the back of a man. Nurse! My medications wearing off!I went trolling through my Photos roll and found some things I forgot I’d done.

I like it, too, and it has some good b/w filters. I think the reason I don't use it more often is that I had ACDSee Pro and Snapseed first, and Enlight has never been enough better or enough different to replace them.I like Enlight.
I think terse and deepop use it a bit....
I don’t think so (more apps::more kudos). I don’t think abstracting necessarily takes dozens of apps, either - depends what you want to do. Also I think as art/editing apps get more sophisticated a lot of digital [abstract] artists are likely to prefer a few trusted, high quality multi-function apps over the myriad of single function apps we had five or six years ago. iColorama comes to mind, of course.
I’d be interested to hear what ImageArt JillyG juryjone Starzee RoseCat Glenton and other people who have been app-stracting for years think . . . ?
Okay, you all heard him!
I never take more than 15 minutes on an appstract, no matter how many apps I use. This took about 5 minutes in iColorama.Take a photo of something close by. One app (Plus Union, of course, if you want to layer ). Fifteen minutes. Go
Using more than one app is certainly not necessary, but it can be easier. I’ve developed a lot of workarounds in iColorama over the years, but apps like the Pixite apps (including the let’s say very specialized LoryStripes) give me looks quickly that it might take a long time to develop otherwise. Decim8 and FotoDa are glitching and blending apps that quickly produce effects I can reproduce elsewhere also.

Challenge: in 15 mins, using one app, create an abstract from a photograph of nothing in particular. Image of work bag with the Enlight camera, filter, glitche-ing and paint in Enlight, layered in Union. I saw a figure in the dentist’ chair, and started getting a bit complicated (‘I’ll glitch in the dentist! and the nurse! and the equipment tray! and the window! ...’) before I realised I was probably having a minor panic attack, and settled for my little cave painting.
I like Enlight. I can’t recall if anyone here went the subscription route with Photofox ? And if you did, what you think?

Enlight used to be my go to editing app, and I still use it for certain looks. It has a fantastic masking tool (one of the best in my opinion). Initially it had things like curves and gamma adjustment which other didn't have at the time, but now many do. I certainly don't like it enough to pay a subscription for Photofox. I like apps that are extensions in Photos so I can edit a photo without leaving the Photos app. (My current favorite is Darkroom.)I like Enlight.

I looked at Pixlr earlier actually. It seems to be just filters and adjustments, nothing very sophisticated. In some respects Prisma is better.Pixlr?
I think Pixlr was your first (or close to) TWAC. I remember surprise and some awe at the results some people came up with — and appreciation of how good Pixlr was for a (then) completely free app. Paint/mask fx and a couple of sliders expand your options logarithmically- perhaps not discoverable in fifteen minutes (at least until you start knowing what you can do).I looked at Pixlr earlier actually. It seems to be just filters and adjustments, nothing very sophisticated. In some respects Prisma is better.
Shame we ran out of cross platform apps though. I'm happy for someone else to run with it for ios only if they like.That’s one of the reasons TWAC is such a good challenge

Anyway, getting back to the theme. A cafe ceiling edited in Pixlr, a building in London (when I met GroovyGouvy Gouvy) and a planet I made recently in Enlight. Brought together in iColorama.
