A Photo Journey with Effects of Adobe Photoshop Express || Photo-Fun on your iPhone or iPAD

 Today's Photo Journey is very different as we are going to share some photographs edited in latest version of Adobe Photoshop Express (2.5). Adobe Photoshop Express is a wonderful application for iPAD and iPhone users. Some quick and creative effects have been introduced in their recent version and this Photo Journey tries to share the glimpses of these effects...

Very first photograph was a bright pink flower with black background and in Photoshop Express, there is a single click effect which applies multi-colored look to your photograph. Name of this effect in Photoshop_Express is 'Rainbow'. This Photo Journey is sharing some of the effect I personally liked and there are lot many other effects with  brilliant options to convert your photographs into Black & White with huge range to variations.

Applying multiple effects to a single photograph in Adobe Photoshop Express can really change the way original photographs looks like. In above photograph 'Lens Zoom Blur' effect is applied. There are two very interesting effects that I use the most while photographing architecture or some events. It's like shooting a subject on long exposure and moving your lens zoom to get a different effect in incremental way. Above photograph has Lens Zoom effect with some level of blur which can be changed.

This abstract effect is achieved by applying 'Lens Zoom' effect multiple times on same photograph and with different intensity. Beauty of the application is single click effects and a slider to optimize results as per your photograph.  

Various effects in Adobe Photoshop Express are categories in 'Black an White' with 7 effects, 'Distrot' with 7 different variants of distortions, 'Overlay Frames' is having 11 effects etc...

Above photograph is achieved by applying Black & white effect and 'School Year' effect on top of it. I think Vignette is also applied to make it more appealing.

A colorful photograph of Motorsports is converted into above form by applying 2-3 effects in Adobe Photoshop Express. Main effect used in above photograph is postcard effect. 

There is a vibrant section with fancy styles, which suites to people who dare to do something different with their photographs and add more style to original photographs. There are some standard Effects like - Classic, Dream, Ghost, Orton, Pop and three types of Vintage Styles !!!

Adobe Photoshop Express is a free application for iPAD & iPhone users, and some extended value-added packs are available at very nominal prices. There are three main value-added packs available in latest version of Adobe Photoshop Express - Border-Pack with various border options and color options for most of them | Camera Pack which is wonderful tool for Noise reduction in brilliant way | Effect Pack with multiple effects having good range of variations. 

 As of today, it ranks -

On iPad – 3rd in Grossing and 5th in Free

On iPhone – 2nd in Grossing and 11th in Free

In this Photo Journey, I have not shared any photograph with 'Tilt-n-Shift' effects. These are some awesome effects through which we can add blur which is usually created through Tilt-n-Shift Lenses. So why to buy Tilt-n-Shift now :) ... Tilt-n-Shift Lenses are of-course very important to handle perspectives while shooting, but these effects add magic to your photographs by adding Edge blurs with different orientations. - Horizontal Tilt, Left Tilt, Right Tilt, Vertical Tilt & Vignette Blur !!!

There are different types of framed effects as well, which help in applying any effect with some artistic frames.

People who love to play with colors and especially with different colored tones in overall picture, there is section of effects called 'Tone' with options like - Blue, Cinematic, Green, Invert, Orange, Red, Sepia, Vibrant, Warm Vintage, White Glow and Yellow. 

Glitters effect of Adbe Photoshop Express adds these colorful glitters around borders of the photograph. Color of these glitters can be changed with a simple slider. So if you apply default colors, you need single click otherwise two clicks will do the job for you.

Bright, Glow, Grain, High Contrast, Old Torn Photo, Pin Hole & Soft Black & White - These are different types of Black & White effects that create magic in photographs. One of the effect is used in above photograph, probably 'Old Torn Photo' effect.

I love 'Post Card' effect for my landscapes, which in under 'Overlay Frame' section of Adobe Photoshop Express.

Again multiple effects are applied in this photograph - Glitters, Rainbow etc...

Lens Zoom Effect of Adobe Photoshop Express is one of the favorites Effects !!! Same effect is used in above photograph and it has been changed dramatically.

Various shades of Sepia with color variants are available in Adobe Photoshop Express. 

Above Photograph has an intense texture which make it look like something printed on hand-made paper. Various types of Hand-Made papers come in market and many times printing on them gives an artistic look to your photograph. 'Overlay Tile' effects presents good range of overlays which add some sort of texture and opacity of that effect can be handles depending upon kind of photograph you are using.

So far I have spent very less time on this application and enjoying it. Hope to start using it regularly for some casual shots which I take for fun and not for clients ! 

If you are a regular visitor of Photo Journey, you must have seen all these photographs in original form and you will be in better position to appreciate the power of this light application.

 Hope to spend more time with Adobe Photoshop Express and share more results with different kind of photographs...

There are different types of Stack Effects available in Adobe Photoshop express - Horizontal Panel, Photo Stack, Random Photo Stack, Zoom Stack & Vertical Stack...

I highly recommend this free application to start photo-fun and see if their value added packs makes any sense for you !!!
