This is one of my first explorations with the app Pixelmator - an app I quickly learned to love - one that will no doubt appear in many, many of my future works. I began this piece with a selfie I took in the car waiting for my son to come out from school. I explored the various tools, and especially the magical brushes in this app and arrived at this. I recall being at lunch with a friend some years ago - and noticed a table filled with women in red hats and purple attire - they were very enthusiastic and I was fascinated by them. This was pre-iPhone days, or I might have some very interesting photos of that lunch! I later learned of the Red Hat Society, which I suppose I am of age to join now, but I don't think I will!
Created on my iPad using a combination of the apps listed below:
Snapseed for colour saturation, sharpness and levels
TouchRetouch for Clone stamp editing
Tangled FX for outline work
Procreate for Brush Strokes and Layer control
Stackables for Texture creation and layering
Apps I used: Hipstamatic: Tinto 1884/Uchitel 20 & Tinto 1884/Blanko Freedom13 for my two base images. I edited in Juxtaposer and Snapseed.
I use self-portraiture as a means for clearing emotions. Fledgling sprouts on the willow suggested tiny butterflies and I saw how they looked strung together, preventing their full range of flight. The blending of these images attempts to draw a story of the need for release.

Yes, I'm that person. The one with the camera lurking around carnivals trying to get the right light, the perfect angle, to capture that feeling of pure fun; whether flying through the air or just enjoying some good ol' fair food~
For ODC "Timing"
WARNING: Probably more carnival shots to come...

when Ada looked at Luka's lids today she thought they were so beautiful, with the stars and all. she said: it's like we can see what she is dreaming on her lids when she closes her eyes.
I think that was such a cool thing to say!

Not getting a lot of time at the moment so this is a bit of fun re-processing. The original shot was an iPhone image which has been run through Hipstamatic initially and then had a film replicating filter applied (think it was Agfa Optima 200v.2) via the excellent RNI Films app. Anyone who enjoys creative digital photography should try RNI Film.

iPhone shot & app edit. Reminds me of the Group of Seven Canadian artists' style. Thank you for your appreciation, Gail
.
The morning after Thanksgiving Thursday, I had been googling for how to actually use the Stackables editing app. The interface and mechanism of using is so different from editing apps with which I was familiar.
Yes there are layers, and there is some rudimentary masking. But it was quite different looking from Snapseed which I've been using for a bit on and off.
Google is our friend of course and I found a blog in which the writer calls Stackables his favorite "grunge" app. By that, he means he uses it to add textures and colors in various layers.
This put it in perspective for me.
It's not like Snapseed where one can edit brightness, contrast, detail, etc.
But one can add in separate layers, textures and effects, and change blend modes from Normal to Overlay to Soft Light, basically all the blend modes one would see in Photoshop.
Getting a BFP (Big Freakin Phone), the iPhone 7 Plus, gives more screen real estate to see what one is doing. I don't have an iPad which would probably make more sense when using these apps.
This image started out being shot mid afternoon with the iphone, to catch the slanting light and barred shadows falling across the window and lamp (one of my favorite things in our house). This original image can be seen in the first comment box below.
The iphone's native aspect ration is 4:3 (I know, really?)
The image was opened in Snapseed and cropped to 3:2 which to my eye, suited the subject better. Because I would be adding "grunge," I figured I'd better make the image have less contrast. And Snapseed has great tools with which to accomplish this.
Each time I made changes, I'd export the altered image back to the iphone's gallery/albums. I'll talk about this more later.
Also in the first comment box below is the altered image from Snapseed that I imported into Stackables. It's been over a week now since working on this image, and the app was so new to me that I'm afraid I don't remember all the things that were done. Again after a significant change in the image's "look," I exported back to the gallery. Honestly, I do that more now that I've had more experience, but I did do it a few times that first day.
After adding various layers of tints and textures and playing with many different blend modes, it got pretty much to what we see here.
I've discovered that the AirDrop feature on my iPhone automatically notices my Mac computer. All I need to do is select which images I want to go to the computer, press the Share icon with which even fuddy duddies like me are now familiar, and send them via the AirDrop.
If I had been smart enough to save various iterations of travels through Snapseed and Stackables, once in the computer, I can open as many as I want as layers in one Photoshop document, do things with each layer, and mask and slide to my heart's content.
See, I told you there would be more later about the benefit of saving separate images as one goes.
But I really learned this after playing with this image.
It's been long enough that I couldn't remember what I had done in Ps with this image so opened it again.
It turns out all I had done in Ps was enhance contrast of mid tones using luminosity channels, and masking that effect from the center of the image, and adding a violet tint filter to provide contrast to the warmth of most of the tones, and masking so that only certain areas were influenced.
And there we have it. Since this image, I've been exporting from the editing apps after a significant change, so that eventually, quite a few different versions of each image are then imported back to the computer where they might be combined in Ps. This lends the ability to have a texture in one portion of an image, a green tone in another, a blue somewhere else, combining in ways that are more selective than what these phone and tablet apps can easily do.
What I think is pretty cool, is that some of these images I'm creating remind me of paintings I'd wanted to create decades ago when I thought I wanted to be an art major.
- hss!
