Photo App Friday - Monokrom Giveaway
Remember to Tweet some of your favorite apps and tag them #photoappfriday. Let the world know what apps you love - make it even more interesting...try and find one that's not already at the top of everyone's list!
Today in honor of Photo App Friday, I'm pleased to have a giveaway for Monokrom B&W Photo Editor. This app has a really unique interface - if you've ever used fingerpaints, this will be a breeze for you. Below is a video demonstration showing Monokrom in action.
Monokrom Overview
Tone Mode - you have three pucks which you can slide across your image:
- Orange controls brightness (up and down) and when moved left to right controls how the colors in the original photo are converted to shades of gray.
- Green controls the contrast with up and down and sliding left to right changes the image from faded to extreme shadows.
- Blue is used to tint your photo - left to right changes the tint and up and down increases and decreases the amount of color applied.
- Red adds grain or noise - move to the right to increase grain and move up and down to change the texture of the grain.
- Blue controls the vignette. Moving up increases the vignette and moving left to right changes the size of the vignette.
How to enter the giveaway - Leave a comment below. I'll announce the winners on Saturday morning at 9:00 a.m. PDT. Update:
Winners were selected - Darren (the developer) kindly added five more promo codes.
Congrats to:

Photo App Friday - Creative Blur and an Effexy App Giveaway!
It's Photo App Friday and I'm here to share a way to use Snapseed and Effexy to get a creative blur effect. Also, don't forget to Tweet one of your favorite photo apps and hashtag it #photoappfriday. I'm looking forward to finding some I don't already know about.
If you have a USA iTunes account, keep reading to find out how you can win a promo code for Effexy (used in this tutorial).

I really love this image just as it is, but with the method below I can get a little different result.
Step 1 - Open the image in Effexy and click on the + sign at the top. Open the Effex folder and select Zoom Lite. Pinch the image to create a custom zoom. For my image I had the Blurring and Intensity sliders set to maximum. Click the arrow in the upper right hand corner and Save Image.
Step 2 - Open the image in Snapseed and select Tilt Shift. For Style choose Elliptical. Center on your area of focus. Slide your finger up to reveal the Tilt Shift adjustment menu and adjust Blur Strength, Brightness, Saturation and Contrast. Save.
Step 3 - Open the Snapseed version in Sketch Club. To do this press the arrow in upper right hand corner and choose New. Select the size of the "Sketch". In the upper left hand corner select the Layers icon and select Load Image. Choose your saved Snapseed version. On the layer BELOW the Snapseed version, load your original image. On the top center, you will find the tool menu - select Eraser and choose a soft-edged brush for your eraser. Erase the center of the image to reveal the in focus image below. Save.
Step 4 - (Optional) Open the image in Snapseed again and apply Center Focus and adjust to suit your image. I added a bit more blur and vignette around the borders.
Below is another unedited image:
Step 1 - Add Zoom Lite in Effexy
Step 2 - Add Elliptical Tilt Shift in Snapseed
Step 3 - Layer Snapseed version over original in Sketch Club and erase the center of the image to reveal original.
Step 4 (Optional) - This time I wanted to add a bit of a grunge effect, so I opened the image in Snapseed and selected Grunge from the menu. I chose a Style number that was around 1430. Slide your finger up and down over the screen of your device to reveal the Grunge adjustment menu and customize Brightness, Contrast, Texture Strength and Saturation. For this image I then applied Center Focus one more time. Save.
Apps Mentioned:
SnapseedEffexy
Sketch Club
If you have a USA iTunes account and would like to win one of ten promo codes for a copy of Effexy, just leave a comment below - Random winners will be drawn on April 5th at 9 AM PDT.

Photo App Friday Giveaway | Perspective Correct
There are many apps that help you straighten a horizon, but what if the "perspective" is off? Well, there's an app for that too - it's called Perspective Correct. With this app, you can correct both the horizontal and vertical perspective with just a swipe of your finger. The correction can be done while you're shooting an image or afterwards by importing your photo from your camera roll.
The developers of Perspective Correct recommend it for:
- Architecture Photography – fix leaning and ‘falling’ buildings and houses
- Real Estate Photography – correct distortions outside and inside the home
- Landscape Photography – correct leaning trees
- Artwork documentation – paintings, prints and other hanging objects
- Portraiture – fix facial distortion including big noses and foreheads
- Street Photography – streetscapes and vanishing points
Below are examples showing before and after Perspective Correct.
