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!

This was a full moon-set I took on Sunday morning. I used PlanIt app to calculate the camera spot, so the setting full moon will align with coit tower at some point. I used my second camera to take a time-lapse to record the whole process. And here is a short timelapse consist of 200 pictures before and after my final shot:
There are so many alternations on full moon pictures right now in photography community, since photoshop app is making the alternation much easier than before. However, I feel more joyful and satisfactory when I am doing the real full moon shooting and when everything is moving as my prediction.
All elements shot with an iPhone6 using ProCamera app.
Edited on iPad with Snapseed and Mextures apps.
