Prisma Art Filters and Photo Effects for Images iPhone App Review
Prisma for iPhone turns your photos into beautiful artworks, if it can be called so. It does so by using styles of famous artists. The app relies on proprietary AI to turn your photos into memorable art. You can get Prisma app for free from iTunes App Store.
Features
Prisma for iPhone has a minimalistic interface that is easy to navigate. Unlike most photo filter apps that go for a dark interface design, Prisma has large areas of white that goes well with iPhone 6S. The thin and light icons for all the buttons are easily recognizable. Snapping a new photo or importing one is quick enough. But applying effects is a bit slow. It is understandable considering the artistic elements in the final product. As mentioned, you can either import a photo from Photo Library or click a new picture. Either way, Prisma will transform it into a 1:1 square crop. So you won’t be able to get the full landscape or portrait image in the app. But the positive aspect is that all the images will be Instagram ready. If you prefer to click a photo, you can find the camera/flash controls under the view finder. Tap on the cog icon to change settings, save artwork automatically or even remove the ‘Prisma’ watermark sans any IAP.
Prisma for iPhone comes with over 30 filters. They are totally free with the initial download. The filters are inspired by real works of art by famous artists such as Picasso and Munk, and famous paintings and ornaments. The filter ribbon at the bottom half of the screen allows you to check the name and get a sample of the original artwork that it’s derived from, so that you can have an idea of what it looks like. Eventually, once you decide on one, simply tap on it to apply it on the image. It will take few moments before the filter is applied on an image. Some filters may take longer than others. By sliding your finger horizontally on an image, you can adjust the filter strength. Left is subtle, while right is more intense. Once done with editing, you can share it straightaway to Instagram or Facebook. The app is found to be stable.
Conclusion
Prisma for iPhone let you turn your photos into awesome artworks inspired by famous artists’ creations. For the user, it is about selecting the filter, and the app does the rest. The UI is minimalistic and easy to use. Varying the settings is a straightforward process. The filter strength can be varied by sliding your finger horizontally across the image. The ability to remove watermarks without any IAP comes as a surprise. The app is also fast and responsive for the amount of rendering it must do to generate the artwork filters. Overall, a feature-rich photo filter app that is worth a look in. After all, it is free!
