Description
This recipe takes me between 15 and 20 minutes to cook. It can take longer depending on how you want the image to look and taste.
Ingredients
Apple iPhone
Apps:
Snapseed
Mextures or Stackable’s
Method
1. Using Snapseed select a photo that was taken with a mobile device. I used an iPhone 6 plus.
Make general adjustments such as brightening up shadows, toning down highlights, applying grunge effects, or using a High Dynamic Range effect. Explore all the tools, even preset ‘looks’ to however you like the effect best. Save the photo, or incremental variations. For more information or to download Snapseed.
2. Open edited version of the image in Mextures or Stackable’s to edit further. Both these apps have built in textures that can be adjusted through lightness, saturation, highlights, shadows, etc…. look along the bottom for adjustments that can be made. You can save the formula you create in Mextures as well which is a history of the adjustments that were made. Save the image or iterations that you like best.

3. Open the image in Instagram where you can edit further. In th is final image, the Fade adjustment was used to soften the image and serve.
