Loved it, really opened my creativity with iphone
Awesome! I learned so much and I want to see more edits by Elise. I’m also now an Instagram follower of Elise’s adventures. I hope these same edits work even better on an iPad with an Apple Pencil.
Taken my time watching but well worth it…I started my new photography with I Phone and moved to Nikon but love using the apps…photoshop is difficult to learn for me…however, this was great…well done…thanks
Great tutorial. Loved all the composites and usages of various application. Thank you!
Thanks a lot for a fun and different class. Kind of cool to see how different you think compared to normal photographers that allways strive for perfect sharpnes, blends and so on. Wish you all the best for your future as a professional artist. I tried to find the apps you were using for my android but artStudio is to my knowledge not available. Maybe an idea to include some android substitutes. Anyway it was fun waching and you are a very likeable person. Jan. E.
