tutorial: appsperiment - lemon-lime

i've recently come across a facebook group called "appstracts". they post a weekly theme/colour or something and members upload their images that meet the theme, or their interpretation of the theme. this week's theme was "lemon-lime". i created an image for the theme and realised it might make a fun tutorial. so here goes!you can approach the theme in a couple of ways: take a photo of something that is lemon/lime in colour, take a photo of a lemon and lime or create something in that colour scheme. i opted for the latter.starting in the saturation app, i selected a colour palette that was a good fit, there's a visualiser within the app, so i let that roll and did a screen shot of it to capture the image below. from there i went to snapseed, to crop it square, and add one of the vintage filters, which boosts the saturation a bit.moving into the photoartista haiku app, i added a bit of a watercolour/painterly effect. using "style abstract 04" as a starting point and then adjusting the detail/pen and colour.the next step was into decim8, i have a couple of filters in decim8 i really love: beam rider & spaif (you have to look at the names closely to get these spellings, as they like to use english and foreign characters in their filter names).on to FocalLab to add a bit of blur.and back to snapseed to boost the contrast and saturation, plus using the sharpening/structure to add a bit more detail/depth. resulting in this final image.experiments on the iPhone can be a lot of fun… have you tried it yet?~ kate
