Hi Glyn.

Thanks very much for including my Alien Sunset pic. Another excellent selection this week. The quality just seems to be getting better and better each week:)

Hello,

I just got an iPhone for Christmas and though I have done photography with a regular camera I am new to this type of photography.

I love these photos but can you please tell me how these great effects are achieved? What app(s) are you using or is this post processing in something like Photoshop?

Thanks!!

My thanks, too, for featuring one of my pics this week! What a lovely Sunday surprise. Love your site.

Hey Glyn,

Any idea which editing apps were (or might have been) used for #2 and #3? I've been to their individual pages on the Flickr group to try and see if the authors left some detail about how the layering effects were done, but no dice. Any idea? If not, a quick list of the top 2 or 3 apps for accomplishing something like this will do. I'm new to the more creative side of iPhone photography, so you'll have to forgive the token noob question. :)

Thanks! Awesome site.

Congrats to all those selected, great images!

Mark - there a literally hundreds of apps that people use to achieve the effects in these photos. Some are quite specific to a particular effect and some are more general editing apps like photoshop. Here is a short list of some of my most used:

Snapseed, Filterstorm, Scratchcam, photocopier, picgrunger, photofactory, slowshutter, photostudio fx, juxtaposer, iris.

That should get you started. Once you get going you will discover all kinds of other apps. Welcome to your new addiction!
