The world of Prisma

The World of Prisma
2

• While the world is going crazy about Pokemon Go,
  theres another application that is taking the
  web by storm. Prisma is a new photo application
  that transforms your regular picture into Picasso
  paintings. Sounds great, no?

3

• It is a photo effect application whose workflow
  mimics that of popular photo sharing apps like
  Facebook and Instagram. At its base, there is a
  viewfinder that takes square images to which you
  can apply around 35 filters, many of which are
  modelled in the style of famous painters like
  Picasso and Van Gogh.
• The app is viral since summer 2016, with over a
  million daily users in its opening month

What is so special about this app?

• Prisma is absolutely not the ever first app that
  produces beautiful, fanciful pictures using
  filters, but the statistics around the web show
  that it does the best. The secret success recipe
  is the Artificial Intelligence that processes
  each photo in a different manner, contingent to
  the filter. The app allegedly learns and
  familiarizes the implementation of these filters
  over time, using the information it gets from
  each users photos.

The Ranking?

• As per reports, the app has gained immense
  popularity within a very short span of time. It
  is ranked 3rd among all the photo and video apps
  in the US. The app puts an imprint on the photos,
  which can be turned off from the settings menu.
• The app does not have an internal sharing feed
  like Instagram, so you can only edit your
  favorite pictures and save it to your gallery.
  Users can then share the edited pictures on the
  various photo sharing apps like Instagram and
  Facebook.
• This app is a unique concept that gives out
  pictures that are a treat for an eye.

How does it work?

• Take or select a photo
• Download and open the Prisma app. Since there is
  no social or engagement element, the app does not
  ask its users to create an account.
• The main screen is fragmented into two, the top
  half shows the camera view, and the bottom half
  shows the capture button, camera rotation button,
  settings button, and the thumbnail of your camera
  roll. You can either take a fresh photo or choose
  one from the existing ones.

• Edit the photo
• Applying filters couldn't be easier than this.
  All you have to do is scroll through the filters,
  until one charms your eye. Select it, and the app
  will work its magic on your photo. This may take
  a couple of seconds to process, but its worth
  the work being carried out on your photo.
• If you think the effect is too strong, it can be
  easily toned down just swipe left to reduce the
  strength until you are pleased with the look.

8

• Share the photo
• Once you've settled on a style, you can then
  share it on Instagram or Facebook (the dedicated
  options), save to your camera roll (the default
  is to save an alternate version and not over the
  original), or share it elsewhere.

• Things to dwell upon
• The application has a couple of settings, but the
  only one you may want to change is the option to
  include a watermark to your photo. It has a
  default setting to have a Prisma logo on the
  right bottom which you might not want on your
  shots, so you can disable that.
• Creative Tip
• Try using images with strong colors and shapes.
  To get best results, avoid images that are too
  chaotic. Have fun!
