Art and iPhone photographs: Prisma and other available apps
Life, Graham K. Rogers, Published on 06/07/2016
» Early on Friday morning, there was some excitement in the overnight news about an app developed in Russia that applied artistic effects to photographs. This is not a new idea and I have had some apps that do similar tasks, going back to when I had the iPhone 3G.

» Although I prefer working in Aperture, I have softened my views on Photos on the Mac. It is much improved from its first release, but there is still room for improvement. I use it mainly for iPhone photographs synchronised to the Mac via iCloud.

Many commentators were disappointed because there was no hardware: no iPhones or new Apple TV that had been rumoured.

» I visited the Art Institute of Chicago in the mid-1980s, where I was able to see Picasso’s The Old Guitarist and several impressionist works of art, including pieces by Monet and Georges Seurat’s magnificent A Sunday Afternoon On The Island Of La Grande Jatte.

» There has been a great merging of media over the last few years. Many articles or books are now only available in digital format, but the ownership of digital art is a fairly new concept with exciting possibilities.

Effect yourself

» Some photo apps for the iPhone and iPad can produce quite unusual results. One of my favourites is Distressed FX ($0.99; 32 baht). The name refers to effects we often see on designer jeans (think Diesel), giving them a worn look. Distressed FX has two main sets of effects: filters and textured papers.

» The announcement of the iPhone launch in January 2007 was a game-changing event. I was there and was able to handle a pre-production model the very next day. It was dismissed as irrelevant then, and some still belittle it when they can.
