Alter Egoz Iphonography

A few of you saw my series of edits last night and may wonder how I create my texturally thick surreal designs. I tend to just experiment around willy-nilly, but in this case I can track my steps, so I thought I would share my steps. If even one of you guys learn something or buy a new app to experiment, my job has been done. Ok here goes: 1⃣: when I run out of pictures to edit, I usually hit up google and use the keywords "textures/unique/weird/angles" one or all will bring up cool pics. So I found this house full of texture and shading. 2⃣: ran thru snapseed in the details tab, raised structure all the way. This snapseed move probably is my most used trick to add definition to your pics. I also ran it thru tinyplanet to get the swirl. PROTIP: even if the source photo is rectangular, tinyplanet exports as a square. Perfect for IG! 3⃣ ran thu phototropedelic for two purposes A) it adds nice edges to all lines, B) all of the colors using the "tropodelic" colors tab are important for the last step. I also used juxtaposer to add the three guys in a staggered pattern. The eye likes 2s 3s and 4s in pictures remember that. 4⃣: remember how we made it multicolored in step 3? That was so when we used the Camera+ app/fx effects tab/contessa filter, all those varying degrees of color turn into a broad spectrum of greys. It's like you have to think backwards. Plan for what you are doing later..last but not least, I added a sun from lenslight, brought into instagram, and used the little sun button bottom left to raise the details. Well I hope you enjoyed this tutorial, and take from it at least one skillset not yet in your possession. Until next time, HAPPY EDITING! @blortblort @sdotboon @drzuum @bometheus @jtk_pdx @peacetea @dasnake @_randle @yentl09 @camelliaheart @katyds2 @ancestorsfound @flyingfig @cheekygoat @arkenvolt @kwanle @peachypeanuts @3horse @flowest @riskeewright @boqopod @wstairs @kraemel @dreamal @jflex @truffin @pthanerd @herrk @olhar @michaelasheart @luckyology @queen_of_spades @gigglegiver @hugokleinhans @kingmta_ru @ike_dodge @maxfechner @deborahyea @rocean13 @filmklipps

flyingfig: Awesome! Cool! Trippy! Thanks for sharing!!
debbiehearn: Thank you!
drzuum: Impressive display and structured instructions. Makes me want to use Snapseed again. Images have large resolution through that don't they CJ? I think even though it may be a lot more work - if you had a dedicated tute page it would be quite rewarding for yr IG followers. Great Stuff!!
susanjbowman: So good of you to share !
drzuum: Dude. Wished I had an excuse for being such an egg. #2plus2=11
