Pop-A-Graph your photograph!




I played around some with the PopAGraph app from Flambe Studios LLC, an app that is mainly for adding 3D-effects to your photos. Probably not what the developers would say, but you can read what they think in the description on AppStore heh heh.


 This one was shot with my DSLR and "popped" on my iPad mini:

This is the original photograph:

The auto mode works so-so if you intend to blow the image up. I had to manually mask and tweak this one to get the result I wanted - smooth masking and the right details included. Not a bad thing as long as you understand that you have to invest some time and effort to make things look good. 

There are a bunch of filters and effects you can use, as well as different frames. 

So why bother with this app? Well, you won't use it all the time, but for those shots where you want to add some wow-factor or really make the subject stand out, this is it. Better yet, if you plan the picture before shooting it, with a clear subject and well planned composition and background, you can create some stunning images with a little help from this app. Even if the viewer can't see that the subject extends beyond the frame, they will feel it. Thats what it is all about.

Now, off you go and Pop-A-Graph that photograph!
