Photographs into paintings

How to turn Photographs into paintings? Simple with a few tricks and a program. However the most important thing to remember is only use the highest resolution photos from your phone. I’ll write about how to do this in the next blog post. 

Of course you can use a filter on the expensive Photoshop program but this may be handier especially if you have an iphone.

The Prisma app is an iPhone photo editor that turns your pictures into paintings and drawings. With over 500 artistic styles, you can transform an ordinary image into a magnificent piece of art… in just a few seconds! Read on to discover how to make a photo look like a painting or sketch with the Prisma app.

 

How to use the Prisma App.

 

  1. When you first open the Prisma app, you’ll see the in-app camera. You can tap the shutter button to take a photo. Or tap Gallery to open an image from your photo library. When you’ve opened your photo library, locate the photo you want to edit. Then tap on the image to open it in the Prisma photo editor. When your photo is open, you’ll see a selection of artistic filters at the bottom of the screen. These include a range of painting styles as well as drawing and sketch effects.
    Swipe across the filters to view more styles.
    Note that the Prisma photo to painting app releases a new filter every day. So you’ll always have a new artistic style to try out.
    When you find a filter you like the look of, tap to apply it to your photo.
    It takes a few seconds for the Prisma app to turn your picture into a painting or drawing. The triangle icon in the middle of the screen shows the progress of the edit.
    If you don’t like the effect, tap a different art filter at the bottom of the screen. Keep trying different filters until you find a style that you like.
  2. More prisma filters 
    The Prisma picture to painting app has over 500 artistic filters.This gives you a huge range of options when it comes to choosing a paint or sketch style for your photo. When you find a filter you like the look of, tap it. Then tap Add To Favorites. When you’ve finished adding filters to your favorites, tap Library at the top left. Then tap the X at the top left to return to the editing screen.
  3.  Note that the free version of the app only gives you access to filters in the Prisma Classic and Misc Collection. The white padlock icons indicate filters that are only available with the paid version of the app. Premium subscription costs $7.99 a month or $29.99 a year a pretty cheap. You get a free 3-day trial, so you can always try it out before committing to the subscription.
  4. Adjust your images with Prisma photo editor.
    Once you’ve applied a filter to your photo, you can fine-tune the effect using the Prisma photo editor tools.
    Tap the Adjustments icon (two sliders) above the row of filters. You’ll see a series of sliders for adjusting light, color, sharpness, etc. You can scroll down to view more adjustment sliders. When you’re happy with the adjustments, tap the checkmark at the bottom right of the photo.
  5. All you need to do now is save your masterpiece. Print it if you would like.
