Change Perspective With This Highly Underused & Easy Photoshop Tool @ Weeder | Photo Editing Software and Applications | Scoop.it

I'm not saying Photoshop is a true supplement for a tilt-shift lens, but the Perspective Warp tool is so deceptively simple and effective to use.

Kitty Fisher's insight:

Why don't more people use the Perspective Warp tool instead of tilt-shift lenses? An easy to use tool compared to the right angling and eventually getting the photo you desire.

Litely looks to improve mobile photo editing by focusing on simplicity

Litely looks to improve mobile photo editing by focusing on simplicity | Photo Editing Software and Applications | Scoop.it

"The best photos don't look edited; it's all about the story and the moment," photographer Cole Rise quips while walking me through his new mobile image editor.

Kitty Fisher's insight:

Cole Rise who created the filters Hudson, Rise, Sutro and Sierra for Instagram has come up with the idea to make the filters even simpler. With Instagram having a heavy hand when we want to overlay a filter over our image it can cause a good image to turn into a overly saturated, not easy to look a portrait.
