Customize Color Composition Settings
At Moonlighting Apps we’re committed to supplying our users with as many tools as possible to create fascinating and professional artwork from their photos and videos.
In this light, we’ve added some extra settings to our apps that allow layering different variations of the same filter, to obtain contrastingly diverse results from the original photo. Here’s a brief overview of what you can accomplish by adjusting these settings.
- Quick note: Each layering application will look considerably different for each individual effect — we’ve given a few starting examples below, but expect amazing variations for each filter. Experiment with all of them and go crazy! You’ll be blown away by the possibilities :)
Grainmerge
This composition applies the effect while keeping most of the details from the original image, making the figures more clear-cut.
The following images have been filtered with Cerulean. The top image is the original, the one on the left is the filter with no color composition, and the one on the right has Grainmerge activated:
Notice how on the right the photo retains more details from the original image? You can use this setting when you feel the filter is distorting your photo too much and would like a clearer figure.
Hardlight
With this setting you can enhance the original photo’s colors and outlines while still applying the filter texture and coloring. Here’s an example with Deviant filter. The top photo is the original, the bottom left is the simple filter (no color composition) and the filter set to Hardlight on the bottom right:
The application will look similar to Grainmerge, but with brighter coloring.
Multiply
Want more drama and depth? Multiply adds a somber feel to your creations (examples filtered with Motley effect).
Softlight
This setting will give you equally bright colors but with more transparency and an all-around “softer” look.
Original
This setting applies the filter texture but keeps the original coloring in your photo, to get a more accurate palette.
The following photos were filtered with Scribble and Graphite (both have a black and white effect). On the left, we have the original filter, and the one on the right is set to Original, which brings out the photo’s initial colors.
All set to start experimenting? Ready, set, Painnt!
