We have seen our share of photo-to-art apps, but none match Prisma in terms of simplicity, speed and ease of use. The only thing that you can alter in it is the intensity of the effect – by sliding your finger to the right or left.īut the chances are that you will not really feel like doing so too often as the initial result is eye-poppingly spectacular. The conversion process is shown in the form of a triangle that fills up gradually – and you get your art-ified result in anything from 5-15 seconds, depending on the effect you opt for. You select the image (you can crop or rotate it if you wish – that’s all the editing that is allowed), choose the style of the piece of art you want it converted to, and then sit back and let the app work its magic. And before you ask, there is no way to blend the styles of two different artists or works of art or change colour levels of specific parts of a picture.īut on the flip side, Prisma lets you convert your picture into something resembling a work of art by just tapping an icon, using a “ unique combination of neural networks and artificial intelligence” (their words).

Mind you, these are not named by artist so you actually have to work out what you want though a bit of trial and error. There are a total of thirty four different effects and filters to choose from right now, and these are based on the works of the likes of Van Gogh, Munch and Picasso. It not only allows you to convert your photographs into art work, but actually lets you pick the styles that you want. Prisma, now, is a very different kettle of fish. Yes, we have add apps that attempt to convert images into sketches and even works of art (we reviewed Waterlogue way back in 2014, remember?), these efforts have largely been gimmicky – you could see that it was a photograph that had been tweaked, and the options were generally restricted. What if one wanted to do something, well, more artistic, without getting caught up in the whole ‘layer editing’ business? But most mobile image editing apps restrict themselves to adding filters that change or add color accents to an image.


Today, of course, one can change an image with a few taps on one’s phone, thanks to the likes of Instagram, Pixlr and even Adobe’s own Photoshop Express.
PRISMA APP FOR COMPUTER SOFTWARE
Of course this had been possible in the PC-laden past as well, but tweaking an image in those days necessitated messing around with software that was definitely on the complex side. After all, not all of us (Yours Truly included) are great photographers, but with a bit of appy fizz and a few touches here and there one can make even a relatively ordinary picture look different. Image editing apps have a special place in the hearts of pretty much anyone who has hit the shutter button on a phone’s camera.
