I believe I covered Image Blender a long time ago, even before my first iColorama tutorial! I use iColorama or SuperimposeX for collages, and have never returned to Image Blender.I haven’t thought about Image Blender for a while
I really struggle using iColorama for anything other than adding filters. I always have. It’s just not intuitive for me, and I know I don’t use it to its potential. I also do 100% of my editing on an iPhone, so not sure if that comes into play.I believe I covered Image Blender a long time ago, even before my first iColorama tutorial!

This watercolour (?) effect on this image looks like an old-fashioned greeting card. The volcano-based content is a nice anomalyView attachment 187631

Do you make a texture/background with DistressedFX first and then add the image?View attachment 187589

I love combining images with Image Blender, and DistressedFX for the fabulous textures.
It was Graphite/Stylize/Pastel 2, but I have no idea what pastels are supposed to look like, so it looks watercolory to me, too. The volcano (you mean the stuff on the left?) is a pile of rocks, crystals, and small statues by a neighbor's door. Five layers all in all: the letter, a texture file, the rocks, the cat, and the dancer.This watercolour (?) effect on this image looks like an old-fashioned greeting card.

Yes… when I was playing around with it the other night, I uploaded a photo with lots of white in it, and when I saw how cool the texture was - and how clearly you can see it, compared to blending it with a photo and not really seeing all the detail - I thought to make a white square and save it, then uploaded that into DistressedFX, added a texture filter, then saved to use as a background.Do you make a texture/background with DistressedFX first and then add the image?
WOW!!! I can’t believe he witnessed that!! Was he able to take any photos?He's describing the eruption of Vesuvius he witnessed there.
Not that my sisters and I ever found. He was an amateur photographer, but I don't know if he even had a camera with him at the time.WOW!!! I can’t believe he witnessed that!! Was he able to take any photos?

Agree!You should do more of those!

He was, but not in combat. He was a captain in the reserves, and according to him, his job was to move along behind the lines to help the towns and people in Sicily and Italy put their lives back together after the war rolled through. He stayed on for a year after the war ended to work with a UN relief agency.Was your dad a soldier ?
I hear you. When I started using iColorama, I decided to write tutorials just to explain it to myself. Once I got the hang of it, I saw that the masking features grew stronger, making quick work of blending multiple pieces. The masking is where it shines for blending over Image Blender’s fully manual masking. And iColorama S has 95% of the capabilities of iColorama for the iPad.I really struggle using iColorama for anything other than adding filters. I always have.

First of all it’s hilarious (and a very sound idea) that you wrote tutorials to get the hang of IColorama. I have to admit the masking tool works opposite of everything else I have used and it confounds me. I love everything else about it and still can get lost for hours. I love my Procreate but if I could only have one app, it would be IColorama. RoseCat Catherine, I am in awe of you using your phone for all your editing. I just can’t see the thing well enough.I hear you. When I started using iColorama, I decided to write tutorials just to explain it to myself.

Years ago when I got an iPad I tried editing on it, but for some reason it just "feels" better on my iPhone and I probably edited 2-3 images on my iPad and then stopped. It's odd, I know.I am in awe of you using your phone for all your editing. I just can’t see the thing well enough.

Diplomacy at midnight
Leonardo (6 or 7 layers), iColorama, OilBrush, DistressedFX+, ACDSee Pro
It seemed more likely to be a confrontational encounter than that.Not jungian psychotherapy, then?
