Focal Lab is a nice app which allows you to create different graduated blur-effects to your photos. You can select the sharp area in the photo by touching the screen, whereafter you can adjust the strenght of the effect. Focal Lab has 4 types of blur effects: Dreamy Blur, Soft Focus, Zoom Blur and Motion Blur.
I have used the Zoom Blur-effect to the dandelion photo above. The center of the flower is sharp and in focus, and the light Zoom Blur-effect gives an intensive and dynamic feeling to the photo.
My favorite might be the Motion Blur-effect, that gives the daisy below a feeling like it is swaying lightly in the wind.
I have discovered this app recently, and I'm looking forward of playing with the possibilities it gives - layering the effects with Image Blender eller Filterstorm might make fun "slow-motion"-like photos?!

I know ahat an App is but must admit I use only the (limited but safe) features of the notebook...Boring, right?
ReplyDeleteI like the daisy swaying look though (at least I recognize a good photo, right?!) I think when you do not grow up with electronics, you are a little reluctant at trying all those gadgets...What can I say? I have two left fingers (feet)!
Blessings,
This looks like a very cool app, and it makes an effect very much like a LENSBABY. An app I don't have.... not a good thing.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning, Nina! I always enjoy your tips, sweet friend. Have a wonderful day! Hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteThe blur on the dandelion is absolutely amazing and it really grabbed my attention. I have Focal Lab and can see that I must investigate further. Thank you so much for playing today, Nina!
ReplyDeleteI am so behind in the app world!! I always learn something new when I visit you, Nina. I love to learn, and I love that you do, too!
ReplyDeleteThese are great Nina, I love the dandelion, I have this app and have explored it to it's advantage. I haven't had just the right image yet to use with it but I am going to make the effect to take one so I can try it out.
ReplyDeleteA great image love this app I might have to check it out...
