Percolator and TangledFX for Summer Play

Cynthia will give us some tips on using Percolator and Melissa will do the same with TangledFX at our August 12th Zoom get-together. These apps are wonderful steps in your workflow. Expect to export several images as you P L A Y with each app. Then you could blend the original and the altered photo in Image Blender or Pixelmator. Why not take the images into a collage app and then into Image Blender. Obviously, iPad storage is the only limitation here! 
Valentine Peter has posted his workflow tips on Flickr 

Some of the images posted to social media encourage us to expand our workflow, making many images and app stacking with more twists. We can be adventurous! Remember, our superpowers are Undo and Delete. 

Get ready to play on 8/12. Create a new album in Photos with example photos. Don't choose your favorites! Add photos with patterns, shapes, strong colors, contrast, landscape and people portraits. By not choosing favorite photos you give yourself license to experiment, push to extremes, go with the flow and let surprise be your guide. Then take your favorite results (capture screenshots of settings) and then apply to your favorite photos.
