Using Photoshop Express Collage Feature


The winds are still present and it is now April.  March did not go out like a lamb.   It is really difficult to capture photographc images when winds are greater than 7 mph.  A tripod won't really help.  If you increase ISO significantly, then you get grain.  So flowers and blossoms may have to be a still life with different colored backgrounds and window lighting.  I tried experimenting with some apps.  Photoshop Express is available for iPad, iPhone.  You now have the ability to make collages from your images.   The image on the right I tried this with some recent flower and herb images.  I could select the format to change the featured photo.  In this case I wanted it to be the cilantro plant/seeds image. As far as I can discern,  it is an iOS app only.  You can save the image to camera roll as well share on some social media sites like FB and Instagram. You have choices to change the size but I did not do that.    All your images need edited prior to making the collage. The image on the left is a cherry blossom CU.  I added red food die to the water in which the stem was placed for at least 12 hrs.  The veins of the blossom now has more prominent looking veins in the petals and around the edges.  Contrast was increased a bit to show more texture. This would be a great way to show the original image and then additional "altered images" with different apps.  More experimenting is definitely needed.
